[chocorock1]

enorme

[Theshomchez]

it doesn't work for me x(

[VaiPeppe]

drogati!!!

[Nyce2Everyone]

im young.... bauhaus are awesome

[comonseriously]

oh this is the best video!!!! kick ass. what a great cover version

[zebraboy777]

sometimes I've wondered if anyone has ever realised how truly brilliant this band once was?

[petermurphreak]

I've often wondered if MY IDOLS such as "Peter Murphy", "Richard Butler", "David Sylvain" and "Ian MacCullough" ( among a few others ) ever "met" and even "socialized" together!!!... The fucking LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE would have been ALIGNED PERFECTLY if such a thing EVER happened!!!...

[fvalen001]

I remember my friend doing "telegram Sam" in my best sport jacket...and tore it up the back. (You owe me jacket, foo). Good memories of this...great song!!!

[faithfulcurefan]

Daniel Ash is sexy! Love & Rockets were good too. Totally digging new bands too like Golden Gate Chapel and Fever Ray.

[BIGBODYCONNECTION]

Bauhaus is Killer live! C'mon..Daniel Ash? he's a great guitar player.

[plexoful]

I agree and te band is not valued enough :( what a shame!!!!!!!

[gabungan77]

Peter Murphy was the perfect man. And yes I am totally turned on by this. He he

[LordAvoc]

Aaaaaah the memories! I love this album.

[ThedarkLucifer100]

Better than Marc Bolan? Never but an other good version.

[NyghtshroudeTV]

I never make a mistake about Jungle-Face Jake. Thumbs up if you are the same way.

[plexoful]

Is better than Marc Bolan. Forgive great Bolan.

[charaste]

@plexoful Nothing wrong with writing a song that inspires a great cover.

[pinksummers]

Telegram Sam is the man YAY!

[babygirl9191975]

peter murphy is beyond fing sexy damnnnnnnnnn

[emersontotalyconfuse]

Remember the songs of powerful The Cramps.

[AshtonArcher]

Good cover.

[Sstrikerful]

Crazy grandma at 0:35

[InfurnusChaotix]

@Sstrikerful *Old man.

[lodownX]

awesome X 2.... probalby X 6... thanks

[awellfedbottomfeeder]

Thank G-D for T-rex. The sun never shined brighter.

[artlesclark]

great love it then love it now - this is a proper cover version

[federerules]

good goth not like todays emo shit

[jrmetmoi]

The dancing silhouette wearing a coat looks like it could be Gollum/Smeagol

[kvkrob]

The Bauhaus turned me on to T-Rex. Backward learning.

[pessimystica]

@kvkrob

haha, same here. I was at some party about 10 years ago & some guy gasped when i said i hadn't heard of them, so he made me listen to a few songs. I quickly discovered this was a cover. I also played T-Rex for my mom recently... she hadn't heard of them either, & they were more her generation!

[jrmetmoi]

Peter looks like a hot mime! LOL

[because0ftheX]

*Chills* Took me straight back to Billy's in Dean Street. Unforgettable and untouchable.

[crackersjenkins]

this is a cool cover

pretty awesome twist

[Glowb0t]

peter looks like klaus nomi in this video.

[evillurkswithinusall]

Bauhaus are one of those rare bands who's covers of other people's material completely destroyed the originals.

[ashikasakasa]

かっこ良すぎ！！！

[rtoadietodd]

only heard this version today..big Bolan fan but i like this..weird and wonderful.

[hagathasdemise]

Is anyone else turned on by this???



[reverendhortonchris]

@hagathasdemise yes and I'm a straight guy 

[jrmetmoi]

@hagathasdemise yeah me!

[jg10865]

@hagathasdemise ooooh YEAHHH!!!!!

[codeSerie04]

@hagathasdemise Mmmmh no.

[ShakeMySausage]

I'm 14 and I have this on LP DEAL WITH IT!!!

[theridiida]

@ShakeMySausage Why is your record collection anyone else's concern? I'd have been about 12 - 14 when I purchased this secondhand, too. I'm really baffled by all these "I'm a teenager and I <3 this!!" comments. Teens never stopped loving it. Only difference is, back then we didn't have the post-punk revival nor young enough parents to lead us to it. Not to mention the raging hipster goth trend of the past 8 or so years...

Just enjoy your records for what they are: music you love.

[TheFrankyspicer]

@theridiida Don't be too hard on ShakeMySausage, he (I presume "he" 'cos of the sausage) is only 14 and at that age no one older ever had sex, took drugs or knows anything about music. I definitely owned the world at that age, and so it goes on.

[FaithIsAnnoyed]

One of the best covers I have heard, they take the original and make it totally their own.

[eienax]

"..You're my main man!"

so cool I love the ending part of this song!

[xckro0]

que buen tema, xD,

[Mimi1889]

The Best !

[Mettwurst1stGott]

Vocals remind me of bowie, somehow.

[martinez1671]

@Mettwurst1stGott these 2 guys always remind me of the other abit too, even there looks are similar

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

The instrumental is on point, but the vocals... well they'll take some getting used to for me. But it's a great cover, and I always have respect for artists who pay homage to T.Rex and are influenced by him, as they are severely underrated. Good job, Bauhaus.

[penandwhiteout]

quite dancey 

[ultracrunchy]

love and rocket's...they never did anything like this I don't thing..and it's the same guy's...

[sveikasveta]

@ultracrunchy

but Peter Murphy never did anything like this too. bauhaus it was the complete full team. I like love and rocketas and Murphy, very much, but of course Bauhaus is great., and after 32 years is still ORIGINAL.Sound is not "old", like T rex and so on..

[robinpoppy]

I like to play this LOUD! Love it! Great cover.

[Tanqol]

loool I simply sayd i like the t-rex version more^^ I am soooooooooo sorry.

[petermurphreak]

Peter, I don't wanna be your "groupie" but your GROPEE!!!... 'cause I wanna fucking GROPE you like the fucking world's gonna END TOMOROW!!!....

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

@petermurphreak I've read the past pages of older comments, and I have to say, you're either an extremely clever troll or you're just disturbed. Nothing wrong with having a crush on Pete Murphy and being open about it, but repeatedly coming back on this video just to share your (rather graphic) sexual fantasies with everyone is... not ok. And slightly annoying.

[WindBlindFire]

Awesome!!!!!!!

[twiggypeerzingz]

years ahead of their time :)

[Whitelight786]

Best cover or a T-REX song !! Great

[idaho33100]

Hey have you listen to what i recomended?

[HuloHulo67]

0:35 heroin? yee heroin

[cacam01]

If Bowie replaced Ian Curtis, this is what would have been, lol

[freethoughtmusic]

I loved this when it was new and still love it now.

[everymeandeveryou]

i love you Bauhaus

[Tanqol]

the t-rex version is better

[gundambob646]

@Tanqol then go listen 2 that.

[oOLaneyOo]

@gundambob646 I think Tanqol just wants to seem cool because he knows this isn't the original when some don't or just don't care.

[gundambob646]

@oOLaneyOo congrats on being an ass. i know this is a cover. i listened 2 the original, i dont really like it. you dont need to question me on music history or tracks or even samples cuz i know my stuff. to back the fuck off.

[oOLaneyOo]

@gundambob646 hey i wasn't trying to be an ass to you,i agreed with you. I was basically trying to convey that the Tanqol guy was being a pretentious prick. no offense intended to you and i wasn't questioning you either. I am one of those who doesn't give a fuck that this is a cover because this version is way fucking better then t-rex. so with that in mind re read my last comment to you and youll see what i was trying to say. thanks for being a fucking douche.

[ourladyoftheflowers1]

Of course it is!!!!!...but.shhhh... you're surrounded by hardcore Goths who may have evolved in to vampires.

[drprecious]

great song saw them live. Very good on scene playing live!

[kingbluebaloo]

goth when it was real fun

[DogmeUK]

@kingbluebaloo Agreed. Groups back then had a laugh with all the makeup and black clothing. It was goth with a twinkle in it's eye. Now goth bands are missing the point for the most part. These days it's so depressing :O

[twiggypeerzingz]

@kingbluebaloo it still IS fun. just gotta weed out the posers

[BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS]

@kingbluebaloo real fun goth

[VacLateralus]

@kingbluebaloo Indeed, true goth.

[TheMuuDang]

@kingbluebaloo goth before it was even called that.

[DannyVainOfficial]

@kingbluebaloo Still can be!!

[23angelful]

god what a great video

[berlinbonez]

revisiting my teenage PASSION - Still Tastes as GOOD.

Thanks BOYS

[MiriamSPia]

I think its "a cute Goth version" of some real rock n roll....It works...probably thanks to the black and white film.

[Megalejou]

Loved this video, theyre so visual

[GhostOfSide3]

this is a ballin cover of Telegram Sam.

[ThePUNKROCKSTER]

wow this song is fucking amazing,omg! ***DarkRose Est:10/25/10***

[twilightkinko]

This shouldn't even be called a cover cause it doesn't sound anything like the original song lol.

[DogmeUK]

@twilightkinko I was thinking the same thing! I can't say wether this is better or Marc Bolan's original version, because they sound like different songs. Both are great by the way :D

[Broomehall]

Yeah baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iNinjafied]

Fucking hot.

[twiggypeerzingz]

it's not long enough D: i can't get enough bauhaus!!!!!! >.<

[mjiolnir88]

great song !

[stealthkiller2107]

The version I have is slower-paced. I like this one better.

[idaho33100]

I know i have alot of these videos and it may seem that i'm repeating...repeating...repeat­ing my stuff, but i just want to catch your eye with my repeating B.S. HOPE

[ninn66]

gloups 30 ans deja ;(

[shinybald36]

love the devo drumming at the very end

[vfugik]

the original by t-rex is fun too

[idaho33100]

@SamuelHellDay Dude then you should check out current 93 or death in june or maybe some old school, 45 grave, Andi sex gang ect... Maybe some virgin prunes?

[idaho33100]

Dude thanx!!!!! Do you happen to like the residents? Or Death in june? Ah....! Well if you have'nt then you should check them out. HOPE

[kostritzer]

@SamuelHellDay Christian Death Yeah!  Bauhaus, Christian Death, and Joy Division were the soundtrack to my adolescence! Great memories!

[AdicktivelyCute]

@SamuelHellDay sounds like a hell of a party already :)

[gianlucaseveri]

was my favorite song of Bauhaus ;-)

[KatTheZombie]

I can't help but dance like an idiot every time I hear this song.

[sanctiacobvs]

@KatTheZombie me neither.

[touchwood108]

Very clever and better than the original.

[kemicon]

I love this era of Bauhaus, the Ziggy Stardust influence is obvious on this one.

[MarikitasMuertas]

En mi opinión y sin querer molestar a nadie yo diría que el primer grupo gótico fue Christian Death. Por supuesto Bauhaus es genial.

[GothicHinata001]

@MarikitasMuertas Te apoyo en esa noción. Pues opino lo mismo. Rozz Williams, descanse en paz, era un dios musical. Pero, por supuesto, Bauhaus es increíble.

[lament74]

T.rex esuno de los primeros grupos de glam....bauhaus el primero de gotico junto con the cure....david bowie dio nacimiento a ambos gèneros musicales....una mezcla espeluznantemente adictiva.

[idaho33100]

Dude you should listen to Tones on tail or maybe david seed songs for another season

[djhfan38]

@idaho33100 Songs from Another Season is a fantastic David J album so is Urban Urbane in my humble opinion!

[djhfan38]

@idaho33100 Songs from Another Season is a fantastic David J album, so is Urban Urbane the one after it. Just my humble opinion!

[fatandim]

I love the original but this is excellent!

[jg10865]

This is in my all time top 10 - got it as my ringtone. First heard it when I was about 14. Much better than the original! I could eat Pete Murphy alive...

[Spiritualized1]

I love T.Rex and Marc Bolan, but Bauhaus not only put their stamp on the track, they made it better. Great vid, too.

[ybot1983]

@Spiritualized1 better sucked all the boogie out off it

[rockandroller007]

@Spiritualized1 made it better?? Are you serious :S ?? Man stop saying that ........ show your respect to T. Rex because you say you "love" them, don`t you?? I love Bauhaus but man .... come on ........ :S

[departments2006]

@rockandroller007 Respect has nothing to do with it my friend. Sacred cows are there to be slaughtered. And this one plunges the knife right in and twists. Not better, but certainly different.

[tecnotone]

@Spiritualized1 For sure man, I loved that and this :)

[mlidis]

Bad.



[ashetonpop]

Among Britain´s greatest bands ever!

[Jeetkunow]

Great cover of T-Rex.

[handbanana13]

00:35-00:38 is my favorite part oddly enough. *_*

[petermurphreak]

I wanna wish you a GREAT fucking B-Day, MY LORD!!!.... I'm gonna PRETEND I'm BLOWING YOUR BIG/ FAT CANDLE and that you are turning "35" instead of "53"!!!.... Back when you were still so motherfuckingly GORGEOUS!!!...

[mindgoesblank0]

@petermurphreak o.e

I'm only a minor, I should not be allowed to see comments like this :D

[Gypsy4119]

Awesome vid ! way ahead their time ! (: Love it !!

[charmedonetwo3]

cannae help but dance like a lunatic to this song :P

[iamjuliaboyle]

peter murphy is under-rated. bauhaus is the shit

[ILZ31989]

Peter is so thin. But he's handsome

[petermurphreak]

He might've been "thin" back then but boy did he have THE MOST PERFECTLY ROUND SUCCULENT BUBBLE ASS EVER!!!.... Makes even "straight" men WEEP!!!...

[bauhauschild]

@petermurphreak Jesus dude, is there a bauhaus video you don't comment on. *sigh* How long are you gonna keep this up? Forever? I mean god, everyone knows he's gorgeous you don't have to keep saying it in the most disgusting way possible.

[Maganagarapa]

T. Rex rocks more!!!!!

[tabithashayla]

Glam rock and goth rock, I can't get enough!

[indiemov90]

haaaa me vengo son genialessss grrrrr

[pixus1977]

The best of the best, this is IT

[FarcusNS]

I flipping love this.

[dortyhoor]

380.572 watches yet no comments? If this video was anything to do with politics some people would be screaming "cover up! it's a Zionist/Communist/Jesuit/Fasci­st/Illuminati/ufo/Marxist/Neo-­Nazi/Vatican/Lizard men/Socialist/Jewish conspiracy!!"

Well, let me be first to say how much I like this version.

[spatewater]

if they made anything better i dont know it

[vapourmile]

@spatewater I prefer Dark Entries and Bella Legosi's dead (if only because the latter is so silly!). To be fair, Telegram Sam is not a Bauhaus original, it's a T-Rex cover. Brilliant though, all the same.

[Tharggmucous]

I prefer the T. Rex version. Don't shoot me for that!!!!!

[parksy010101]

@Tharggmucous I won't. Cunt :)

[Maxdwolf]

@Tharggmucous Don't be silly. We can't make a shooting look like an accident. ;-)

[idiiidit]

@Tharggmucous me too

[nitsuac]

Careful with those pointy shoes, Peter.

[lebleufleur]

BOOM! hahahaha. this is epic

[oOLaneyOo]

LOVE THIS VIDEO!!

[Greendayfag]

i cant believe i hung out with peter

and the rest of his new solo band,

and i didnt know he was gunna be in the new twilight movie did anyone hear about that

[PurpleBlueHaze]

Yah I heard about that! I was like WOW!! I read he was going to be in the movie in his website!

[ArturoVergaraM]

c'mon man, don't say bullshit

[jas22]

dammit, please, one more tour. just one more. omg i love bauhaus. always have since i found out about them in the very early 1990s. i was into Peter Murphy FIRST, and never realized he fronted a legendary, unique group called 'bauhaus', of all things! lol. just one more, gents...c'mon.

[00000thatoneguy00000]

Listening to them depresses me soooo much because I missed them and the rest of all the 70's-80's post-punk movements. RIP Goth Rock. You are dearly missed.

[ArturoVergaraM]

If you get depressed by listening to bauhaus, then bauhaus is clearly not for you, Goth rock? I thought only posers used that label

[00000thatoneguy00000]

Hahaha, dude you totally misread that. I love Bauhaus, I just get depressed because I missed getting to see them live.

As for the Goth rock label, ehhh it's whatevs.

[LunaSeaSane]

Funny, because given the whole DIY climate at the time, this is an extraordinary piece of work. Still a brilliant vid.

[jjamo5]

kick ass band!

[johnny1973]

KICK ASS!!!!!

[FrancescaFossa]

love!

[chilarka]

Fecking awsome guitar !!!!!!!!!!!

[ambrolen1]

bauhaus were an extremely underrated band of the eighties, LOVE THEM!

[hm4steve]

I like the original but this version has a nice rockabilly feel to it.

[nokturnal5647]

This is leagues better than the original.

[LuminousGuy]

This is indeed ORGASMIC !

[xxxMomoVanityxxx]

Fuck me,Bauhaus is awesome.

[DogmeUK]

@xxxMomoVanityxxx Always have been always will be :D

[amfemaybole]

Pure energy, puts rex to bed, kisses him on the forehead and says good night. X

[naysgrace]

I like T.rex, but this cover tears into the original,I think the cover out does the original!

[HauntedGhostLady]

@naysgrace I have to agree. I heard this version first (and have it in my library), and then I just heard the original. T rex is awesome, but I love Bauhaus!

[TheDandyRogues]

@wormword I KNOW, HE REALLY WOULD!

[petermurphreak]

I fucking LOVE YA!!!...

[VoodooCramps]

Even though T. Rex was amazing..this may be one of the few cases when a cover is actually better than the original...

[greenandshiny]

agreed

[TheDandyRogues]

@VoodooCramps JOKER, THIS IS SHIT!

[cassbear67]

oh man I forgot how freaking AWESOME this freaking song is!!!!!
