There's a song by Wir Sind Helden called Denkmal. It was on radio three years ago a lot. There's a line which I believed to be "Hol den Fahrschein raus" (Take out your ticket for showing it to the ticket inspectors) .. since the song seemed to be about youth culture, graffiti and someone else having conducted illegal or at least public nuisance, it made sense to me perfectly. Until I re-heared the song in full. The line actually is "Hol den Vorschlaghammer (Fedge the sledge).
