"Komm zurück" (Come back) and "Die Banane" (The banana) are songs by German rock band Die Ärzte. "Komm zurück" is the eleventh and "Die Banane" the seventeenth track on their 2002 live album Unplugged: Rock'n'Roll Realschule. "Komm zurück/Die Banane" is the only single (a double single) from that album.
"Komm zurück" was initially on Das ist nicht die ganze Wahrheit... and "Die Banane" on Planet Punk. "Komm zurück" was performed live for the first time ever for this record. "Komm zurück" is about missing someone. "Die Banane" is about how women eating bananas remind men of fellatio.
The videos for both songs feature footage from the concert.
