Die Toten Hosen* - The Dead Pants**
* Die Toten Hosen is a German punk rock band. In the 1990s, they published an album that contained the song "Der Froschkönig", in which a man talks about remembering a relationship that went wrong while pretending not to ever think about it, anymore.
** The origin of the name is not known to me, but there is a colloquial term, "tote Hose" (dead pants) which is used to describe boredom or lack of interesting activity. Also, there is, of course, a somewhat sexual connotation here, as well...
