Agree. More Value with the proper "über" spelling.
Plus, some people still associate the song with Naziism, which is not a big draw to the name.
.de extensions are like anything else...just because it is available does not mean it should be regged.
Germans are fanatical about their usage of .de. There is great unity and national pride with this extension which is hardly matched by other country codes (a handful of exceptions like .nl, .jp, .ca). I am talking about actual usage by the natives and by the countries business and people, not the simple regging by domainers.
Naturally, all of this will change with the introduction of IDN.IDN and the flood of potentially hundreds of new designer extensions. Then, no one really will give a crap about any of it because it will be total chaos on the internet.
