"Manchmal haben Frauen..." ("Sometimes, women have...") is a song by German rock band Die Ärzte. It is the eleventh track and the second single from their 2000 album '' Runter mit den Spendierhosen, Unsichtbarer!''. The song is about a man who meets a drunk man in a bar who tells him something that's unbelievable for him—sometimes women like a little spanking. The man rushes home and asks his girlfriend about this. The woman starts to beat the man stating that guys like him always deserve some beating.
