I was only 7 years old when this song came out. When I first heard it I also found it a bit creepy (dancing puppets, white faces, weird sounds..). But this was a big hit here in Holland.
I remember when I first saw this....I thought it was a bit creepy...maybe even eerie...I dunno.....but it brings me back....to about the age of, oh.....12-13!
This song was great when they used it in Mel Brooks "YOUNG FRANKEINSTEIN" if anyone remembers they were trying to get the monster to adapt to everyday society. They were putting on a show. That was great!
I LOVE THIS SONG AND THIS PERFORMER! This song was so BIGGGGG at the bar where I did security in Dallas during the 1980s...Studio IV. this is the original GERMAN version!
i remember having to play this on tuba, god i loved it

So...I love the video and all...but Glenn Beck? Seriously?
The fact that he's a bourgeois douche bag is not at all relevant or surprising.

Does anyone but me notice the "Head Thing, " that he does after
"Different types who wear a day
coat pants with stripes and cutaway
coat perfect fits"???
He bobs his head from Left to Right,
And it's wicked creepy....
He does it at 0:38 and 1:36
CHECK IT OUT!!! It's hilarious :)

It was Great in 1982 and it still sounds great to day. Ahead of it's time for quirky.
