Hau Ruck is an album by KMFDM, released by Metropolis Records on September 13, 2005.
The album had originally been titled FUBAR, in reference to the military acronym standing for "fucked up beyond all recognition". However, in June 2005 the band announced they were abandoning that title, and on July 21, 2005, they announced the new title would be Hau Ruck, the German equivalent of "heave-ho". Hau Ruck is the first KMFDM album without a five-letter word title since 1988's Don't Blow Your Top. Likewise, none of the song titles are five-letter words.
According to Sascha Konietzko, Hau Ruck was created entirely using analog equipment.
Of some note is that the album features songs in three different languages — the first KMFDM album since 1993's Angst (which featured the song "Lust") to do so. The band's cover of the French-language "Mini Mini Mini" by Jacques Dutronc is the first KMFDM song to be performed entirely in a language other than the usual English or German.
