"Bitte bitte" ("Bitte, bitte" on CD) is a song by German band Die Ärzte. It is the eleventh track and the third single from their 1988 album Das ist nicht die ganze Wahrheit.... The song focuses on a desire to obey a dominatrix.

The Domina Mix was later released on "Das Beste von kurz nach früher bis jetze". The song was covered by the German band Tanzwut on their Labyrinth der Sinne album and was released as a single. The song was also covered by German band Eisbrecher on their Schicksalsmelodien album.

Video

The video centers on a dystopia-like censoring facility (resemblant of a factory), which is ruled by a dominatrix. As for the products censored, everything appears to be running smoothly until Ärzte-LPs start to be censored, as they will not go into a monstrous machine like they are intended to.
