Until today the band is accused - despite many dissociate-tries - to have right-wing extreme tendencies, whereby frequently the song Türken raus (Turks out) from the year 1981 is named. This song was written within their punk phase. The Onkelz says, that the song was developed as a reaction of a group disliked young persons. Critics refer to it, that in the song is not named a specific group, but demands, that all turks have to go. This generalization is, so the band says, to be led back according to volume of its primitive way of thinking at that time. Also the song "Deutschland den Deutschen" (Germany to the Germans), which is a re-written version of "Oi, Oi, Oi", is often named. Also this song was developed as a reaction to their experiences on the street.
The song SS-Staat (SS state), also from 1981 (on the single Kill the hippies - Oi) is - so the band - to understand as a conscious provocation to the nazis. The text passage "SS-Staat im Staate, wir wollen's nicht erleben" (SS-state in the state, we won't see it)" can be misunderstood as "SS-Staat im Staate, wir wollen's miterleben (SS-state in the state, we want to see it)" because of the bad recording quality. The text itself leaves assume a bad and brutally nazi song, the band says it was written "as a glaringly provocation and anti-nazi-song."
The handling of the band with this topic is disputed. Fans of the band refer to it, that Türken raus and Deutschland den Deutschen never were released on an official release of the Böhse Onkelz. These songs were spread by copying and passing on the demotapes. Stephan Weidner meant in an interview to this: „The text was a big stupidity and of course there was never a release of this song, and of course there will be never such a release.“
I make love in theory and touch myself in practice
