"Du hast" is a single by the German industrial band Rammstein from the album Sehnsucht. The song is one of the band's best known in the United States, owing to its inclusion on the soundtrack of The Matrix and heavy airplay on MTV.

The title is commonly interpreted as "You Have", but is really a long play on words: du hast means "you have", while du hasst, pronounced with a sharper 's', means "you hate".

As an aside, it is interesting to note that a similar pun would have been possible in Early Modern English using thou, the now-obsolete cognate of German du. "You have" would be thou hast, while "you hate" would be thou hatest.
