"Mein Teil" (German for "My Part" or "My Share") is a song by German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein. It was released as the lead single from their fourth studio album, Reise, Reise (2004), on 26 July 2004. It was Rammstein's first number-one single, topping the Spanish Singles Chart. Remixes of the song were done by Arthur Baker and Pet Shop Boys. "Mein Teil" was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 48th Grammy Awards but lost to Slipknot's "Before I Forget".
"Mein Teil" attracted controversy in Germany; the media dubbed it „Das Kannibalenlied“ ("The Cannibal Song") due to its lyrics referring to the Armin Meiwes cannibalism case, which helped to boost it to second place in the German music charts after its release in early August 2004.
