German term or phrase: Kassengift
Question d'ordre purement personnel... comment traduiriez-vous ce terme dans la chanson émonyme du groupe Rosenstolz ?
Je vous donne le refrain (certains couplets pourraient être censurés :-D) :

Ich bin der Song, der nie gespielt wird
ich bin das Video, das nicht läuft
ich bin der Film, der kein Verleih hat
werd mit Verrissen überhäuft
Und wenn ich lauf, dann lauf ich heimlich
zwischen 12 und Mitternacht
Diese unverschämten Gene
haben mich zum Kassengift gemacht.

Merci :)

Explanation:
ich mach mal ein schriftliches Brainstorming:
navet, bide, ennemi du box-office
aber das klingt eher nach Film als nach Song...
Vielleicht gibt es ja einen Anstoss für andere hier in proz.
