"Kauf MICH!" (Buy ME!) is a song by Die Toten Hosen. It is the fourth single and the seventh track from the album Kauf MICH!. The single cover is designed to look like a typical washing powder box.
The uniqueness of the song lies in the fact that the narrator lyrically puts himself "on the market", coinciding with the theme of commercialism.
One of the b-sides, "Der heiße Draht", is based on an idea involving people calling and singing DTH songs over the phone. For the single, this was divided into three parts. On the re-release of Kauf MICH!, a best-of selection from these calls was made.
There is also an English version of the song, titled "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (Buy Me!)", which appeared on Love, Peace & Money.
Music video
The video was directed by Hans Neleman. It features mostly touring footage.
