Nina Hagen Smack-Jack

[wale5525]

Her whites of the eyes are awesome^^

[hexamerglove]

Sweet memories of rocking this song on the jambox in the early 80's at the "alternative" high school (school for bad kids). The kickers couldn't quite figure it out but they liked it anyway.

[1970marge]

Completely GAGA....of NINA

[kikoriih]

Ahahaha, that the hell is this? c':

[bweber2k]

Nina rules~ she is a produce woman.....she is talent that made music for the punk rock of the eighties......She is a neat woman.

[pansman11]

Very 80's East Village NYC scene - I was there and this song really fit the time.

[migueldoom64]

Hey josemagus,only one question,where are you from?your name is a spanish name

[migueldoom64]

Jajajaj(excuse my english,i´m from Spain and my level is very low)maybe you have a piece of reason but I dont understand people say,LG is better than Nina Hagen or The Rolling Stones are better than Beatles,I love music and I play music too,im a good blues harp player and music is not a competition,music is art and any person has his own preferences,but,please,without fanatism,I like LG and I like a lot off musicians,some more than others,excuse me if I have offended,is not my intention.

[shannonfisherful]

Is that a woman O__O

[zwinkypopglamvidz]

all i have to say is WTF!

[HannahMagdalena]

why, God why, do I have to see the names Gaga and Bieber below every music video on youtube? for gods sake!!!!

[filarolette]

nina hagen c est le top,lady gaga c est de la merde en boite

[ValyHxM]

There are singers/artists who're just WTF. Nina Hagen is WTF FUCKING AWESOME!

[migueldoom64]

please,how can you compare Nina Hagen with Lady Gaga?Nina is GREAT,Gaga is only a commercial product.

[josemagus]

@migueldoom64 So how does a 'commercial product' write hundreds of songs and become a master at the piano?

[migueldoom64]

@josemagus write hundreds of songs?master at the piano?you must be kidding,OK gaga for you and NINA for me,no problem

[josemagus]

@migueldoom64 I love Nina Hagen, but I also love LG - they are not mutually exclusive. I am a pianist who plays classical, jazz, and new age. And when I say that LG is an awesome song writer and an accomplished pianist, I have a strong basis to make this judgement. What is your basis to conclude that I am 'kidding"? To equate LG's overwhelimg talent with mere commercialism is not only a contradtion, but reveals that the green moster of envy has got you.

[freddybmp]

Nina is Unique and Smack Jack is a piece master of the 80's

[WhaJMc]

Great stuff. This song must be at least 30 years old. I use to have Nun Sex Monk Rock on tape before CDs came out.

[Phillip5200]

I dont feel so alone anymore.

[TheCyrix1]

NINA is a Porsch - GAGA is a Traban !

[anndall123]

das ist so richtig schoen verrueckt,ja tovh!!!

[2tonsolid]

luv da song und video.

[littlerayofdarkness6]

i love her facial expressions

[madsketcher]

I love how people are bringing their own personal shit into a thread that has nothing to do with what they're even talking about, LOL

[scottdaris]

Hole-leee-crap! love her ♥ ☠ ★ ✝ ♫ ☀ 

[meatlesss]

No, there's three Ninas here....

[petecockcroft]

FUCKING UNIQUE and FUCKING AMAZING

There's only one Nina

[gatoromano]

Like somebody said before...Why everytime we're enjoying a real artist, somebody with more than 30 years of career somebody has to bring up 'lady gaga"????? May it's because gaga found "inspiration" and insists in COPYING from real artists like Nina Hagen....

[juggalojack13]

Nina is fucked UP. Gaga is great but no way she can touch this shit.

[briansparks112]

i agree! but i don't like lady ga ga.

[cincio45216]

Does anyone know about what Nina is doing in 2011?

[retofit]

@cincio45216 She's preaching the gospel. Made a new album in 2010 "Personal Jesus"...

[Billy3051]

I saw her in concert in the 80s and met her the day after concert. Was amazing. What a wonderful person to meet.

[laendeavor]

Don't get any better than this

[angel4justice1]

Gaga it a copycat!

[sanjhunt]

Her dark haired character = Snookie's older sister!

[reaper2748311]

Супер классно! Единственно - припев слишком навязчивый и немножко бесит... прям как волшебный кролик.

[Heldritch]

Nina hagen est unique tout comme klaus Nomi l'était . Ses plus grands succès se situent entre 1977 et 1985. "Nina Hagen In Ekstasy " était pour moi un bijou d'album.

[KendallDowell]

I dont see how ANYONE can compare apples to oranges. Damn it GAGA is GAGA, and NINA HAGEN is NINA HAGEN YOU CANT COMPARE, AND IF YOU THINK LIKE THAT THEN COMPARE YOUR SELF TO AN IDIOT! now that is an acurate comparison!

[autodafeh242]

Nina is the person thats also inside yourself!!!

[simulacra1394]

Thanks for sharing been a nina fan from the first album Nina I love you xx

[autodafeh242]

nina ich liebe dich .....still.....?.....

[TomG6000]

a masterpiece from Hell...With all regards. This is awesome. She is WAY a head of her time. Look at her characters color and dispositions...junkies rock girls, trannys, and cross dressers! Too cool, and waay beyond the time period! I love her color choices...

[1103nina]

xyo99.....The year of this song is 1982:-))

[xyo99]

What year is this song?

[VlogKing]

@xyo99

"Smack Jack" is from her 1982 album "NunSexMonkRock", her first solo album after the two albums she made with the Nina Hagen Band.

[rickysioux]

My favorite song from her. Antiworld rocks too.

[jazzpilotman]

this song is cool but nina hagen is a creeper

[elerownat]

Reminds me of a dear friend - he used play this song all the time! I didn't think so at the time, but hell, that's a freaky song and video!!

[KlaRa474]

nina is a super woman

I saw nina hagen and lene lovich together, they were amazing !

[nonsushi]

Nina du bist so cool, ich mag Dich, hab dich lieb könnte Dich so sehr drücken.... du bist einmalig.

[emmers57]

Scariest anti-heroin swong ever. 

[koregoddess]

I agree, she makes a hot dude. And I love this song and album.

[autodafeh242]

SHOOT IT UP SMACK JACK.........PREY FOR THE MONKEY DONT DO NO MORE NOE MORE NO MORE NO MOERE NO MOREEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR.sMACK IST DREK STOP IT UDER VEREGT!!!

[glickle]

51 people got smacked

[vjaarsaj]

you obviously don't know your man from Eve

[vjaarsaj]

Nina is best or to put it bluntly no comment

[Kikeel18]

I wish someone could upload that video in HD

[ankseg]

ok nina i just kill myself

[geministico]

I love the great Nina Hagen!!

[sneltekenaarHugo]

Großartige Künstlerin/ Great artist!

[DJDeepStrut77]

Gaga is firmly planted in Pop, and is very smart with her career. She isn't interested in making music that's not accessible by millions. Nina is unclassifiable and doesn't care about accessibility. Gaga and Nina are mutually independent of each other.

[angel4justice1]

Madonna, nor Gaga nor anyone has EVER been able to be able to be better than NINA HAGEN!

[kristinetx09]

My favorite part is 1:06-1:25. Nina Hagen is so intune with her facial expressions and the build of her face it's fantastic!!!!

[johnbleroy]

Yes, yes, obviously this is where Lady Gaga got her looks and image from! I don't know if it's still in print, but Nunsexmonkrock is one of the great albums of the early 1980s. Cosma-SHEEVA! Galax-EENA!

[xXxMissFirexXx]

I <3 you Nina!

[patrickiocunningham]

She' s SEXY I want some

[patrickiocunningham]

She' s SEXY

[gimmeamask]

Glad to find these videos...Nunsexmonkrock is genius!! Nice! Cool! Bring it on, Nina!!! :>)

[dolak1919]

Nina Hagen (Originally Ninah) was always very VERY different. Remember her "performing" at any visit to any pub, behind any table, shocking people on the street....Strange haircut and make up, body language, sense of humor.... Unforgettable!

[kawreaVII]

so... heroin is bad.Thanx

[badangel1026]

Nina Hagen makes a beautiful man.

[geoffhead111]

@badangel1026 i 'gree

[thesemenincident]

@badangel1026 She does... It's really confusing me... haha.

[brezelsmile]

@badangel1026 i wish there'd be men that are as beautiful as her performing a man.

[kleggettl]

@brezelsmile Me to!

[brezelsmile]

Respond to this video...  extraterrestrial beauty.

[Xx032]

i don't think gaga is inspired is nina. obviously she imitating madonna o_O! nina was unique and no one would be like her

[AlBenkin]

love love love it

[vasp99]

As much as I have loved this artist over the years I have turned my back on her lunacy several years ago. I would love to hear that she has returned to decancy.

[kren2202]

GENIAL , ME ENKNTA

[Lyco499499]

I think people really need to stop comparing GaGa to anyone and everyone even slightly unique.

[gtg488w]

woah. weird.

[hermorobert]

i don t like lady gaga i'm clearly with it, Nina Hagen is goodest artist and european pop ladies in Usa, i'm bored with her. Nina had humour and a crazy singer a great artist indeed

[Alisrobbie]

I love this ... she is one of a kind ..

[Kobishiya]

exacto.....Ima Sumac

[TamaBamaDingDong]

0:52 she's tickling the balls

[aciddeathadder]

Lady Gaga is not crazy, she's just obscene.

Nina IS crazy!

[hermorobert]

GREATEST NINA LADY GAGA IS A PUPPET

[CapitanoGUC]

@hermorobert how can you compare Nina and Gaga ??? - gaga is a pop bird and Nina a rock lady ....

[josemagus]

@CapitanoGUC It was the Germans who created techopop.

[CapitanoGUC]

@josemagus whaaaat ???? i don´t think so - but i don´t care anyway - i didn´t talk about where tecknopop is comming from. I´m just saying that you can´t compare a rock interpred like Nina with a Pop bird like Lady Gaga ..........:-/

[Guillermovegahijo]

How could they call this in Puerto Rico this Satanic , If they don;t understand English at all your Stupid....

[erasermusic]

Agreed with u guys!!!!! yes it is true Gaga is braking norms now..... BUT Nina did more than 20 before, her sarcasm was way intelligent and she was not copying nobody.... love you Nina

[Clariccy]

@erasermusic She is breaking NO norms  at all gtfo

[haret0n]

nina hagen is fabulous!!!

[disagreeablesob]

Nina Hagen was a performance artist as well as a musical artist,and took her cues from German film and theatre tradition.Madonna's main influences seem to be gay culture,though I think David Bowie's many musical incarnations was her inspiration for reinventing herself.Lady Gaga hasn't been around long enough to have had to reinvent herself yet,but her current persona is obviously influenced by Madonna and gay culture.Nina was unique,and was far edgier for her time than Madonna or Lady Gaga.

[glvdtxn]

A friend of mine said today that Nina makes Lady Gaga look Amish.

[MyGward]

Gaga and Nina are both amazing..why compare?

[andrehendrik]

@MyGward

good question. I guess we compare them because Gaga markets herself as an edgy, controversial artist, when in fact, all she really does in that regard is wear crazy outfits. Don't get me wrong, I think Gaga is musically talented - but as an artist, she's actually pretty timid in her lyrical subject matter. Her sound isn't that distinguishable from other Max Martin/Dr Luke contemporaries. So I guess Gaga is a bit of a phony, when Nina and Lena were truly pushing the envelope

[josemagus]

@andrehendrik You've got to get your brain in gear. Lady Gag's lyirics are incredibly subtle.

[andrehendrik]

@josemagus  yea, almost as subtle as the product placement in her videos lol

[Clariccy]

@MyGward One is generic, the other is not

Please gtfo

[halag]

Freakin mad and wierd but I like it

[xaviboi]

I agree with all of the Gaga comments on youtube. I wish people would stop comparing this rip off, talentless bitch to Nina. The music of Nina Hagen stands on its own (with or without her lively and colorful videos, which really were ahead of their time). Gaga needs to dress her music with over the top costume and make up to mask the horseshit she produces for the masses, who have eaten up her over produced shit as if its never been done before.

[DANIELandNADIA050]

back in those days this was considered satanic in PuertoRico

[jfgdsjhgiwoeu]

la puta madre ke buen video

[labambawatusi]

This gives me a nitrous-high!

[Serpentarius666]

Pure shit

[Clariccy]

@Serpentarius666 Stick to your Hot Topic emo crap then

[Serpentarius666]

@Clariccy Bite me

[IIIIdepechemodeIIII]

she sounds like wolf man jack in this video.

[SuperSmarterthanU]

She is awesome. Underrated and way ahead of her time.

[trancis36]

Love Nina... Now everybody STOP COMPARING ALL THE GREAT ORIGINAL FEMALE TALENT TO LOOSER GAGA...

[ninoacido]

this is just great

I was 8 years old and I was so atracted to this sounds !

[erasermusic]

Very interesting, never saw that maybe Lady Gaga is imitating Nina Hagen, this woman was totally different irreverent.... I was 11 years old when she just called my attention and years after her famous days she was fighting for animal rights she is awesome she HAD vision for the future. God bless this German Goddess

[emile235]

@erasermusic I doubt Gaga has even heard of Nina

[puacino2]

Nina is so hot!

[mondocaneman]

I remember this song a long time ago!. wow!!!

[patrickiocunningham]

Oh my Nina is sexy and i'd like to have dirty man sex with her on smack jack ..

[vaporboy1]

blab, blab, blab, Lady Gag Gag ... Don't compare Nina to anyone

[EyeLove]

Thank you for sharing this, happy memories listening to this in my younger days! :)

[beamerZ]

She lost the father of her child Ferdi Karmelk to heroin; this was a personal message to him . ''please don't do it no more'' made me cringe at the time because Ferdi was still alive then

[seekingnewhorizons]

Why do we have allways talk about gaga? she is only a retarded woman..with excellent marketing..Neither Gaga nor her producers could make such song like this.Hagen was Years Light Ahead of her time! Gaga only is ahead two blocks for her department..This song really rocks!!! Such performing..such voice Totally out of this planet!..Instead of Gaga you must seek _Ima Sumac..Her works were the "light" for Hagen and also for Leine Lovich...

[trancis36]

@seekingnewhorizons ... Yes F'N enough with Gaga already... I'm so fortunate to have met Nina and Yma Sumac...

[josemagus]

@seekingnewhorizons If Lady Gaga is retarded, then you must have the intelligence of a slug.

[seekingnewhorizons]

@josemagus no, my friend..im not have the intelligence of a slug, if i had it, i`d enjoying Gaga and all its crap..affortunely, there are alternatives for escape of that retarded woman...who only likes to "mooing" non sense things like "alejandro" or "poker face"..What about the lyrics? What about the perfomance? Does she fascinate someone with her cheap porno style?

[mondocaneman]

@seekingnewhorizons You're right! You're right about Yma Sumac too. But don't forget about Janis Joplin, Grace Jones and Wendy O. Williams too. Some female performers from the past...ahead of their time!!

[josemagus]

@seekingnewhorizons Lady Gaga has written hundreds of songs and plays classical piano. If that is your definition of retarded, then you must be a troglodyte.

[vjaarsaj]

@josemagus  gaga is a troglodyte end of

[josemagus]

@vjaarsaj If Gaga is a troglodyte, you must be an ameoba. Having trouble following the analogies? If so, save a pseudopod.

[seekingnewhorizons]

@josemagus With all respect to your comment...Tell me if you think that tune "Alejandro" have any sense? What is she trying to show us? What a video..thousands of guys wearing heels and leotards? and the lyrics? Alejandro (repeat "n" times) ..if you find any sense on it..well, congratulations...Gaga , Bieber..silly expressions of this time..which the talent is so scarce!

[josemagus]

@seekingnewhorizons I am a classical and jazz pianist and I know musical talent when I see it. And boy, does Gaga have it! Her prolific ability at composition makes her the Mozart of the 21st century. Does modern art make 'sense'? If you want sense, read engineering books, because art is beyond you. Gaga's messages are subtle and carefully thought out. For example, her 'So happy I could die' is about nirvana, not about fear of alcohol - her art challenges you, as all good art does.

[Clariccy]

@josemagus Gagas music is conservative in all her (pseudo and stolen) "wackiness"

Gagas fans are mainly the most generic mainstream people out there. Please don't talk about "art", you jackass.

Please fuck off off this video

[Clariccy]

@josemagus Yes, she has written for The Pussycat Dolls

Kindly fuck off ?

[Kikeel18]

@seekingnewhorizons absolutely agree, Lady Gaga only does what Nina Hagen and other artists have done before and thanks to marketing people thinks she's original....though I think she's talented too but not in the way Nina Hagen is

[seekingnewhorizons]

@Kikeel18 What Gaga has is only a "poker face" to do all the ridiculous things that her producers indicates to do...Have seen her video Alejandro? What a weird song" and the video? a Crap ..Nina, uncomparable..Her vocals are astonishing, the characters that are show in the video fascinate us..At last is the only thing that really takes me out of the world...Gaga only inspires me to take the remote control and turn off the TV..or the IPOD

[Clariccy]

@Kikeel18 Could we keep that generic farts name off Nina vids ?

[Kikeel18]

@Clariccy OK sorry

[patrickiocunningham]

I like. Nina is sexy, even as a man.

[LuckyCharmStudio]

I love this video.

[oregonghostwave]

Shredding our disgusting human values 30 years before Gagula. Start on the smart creative people first. Now Gagula is moping up the average. We'll soon be ready for our robot replacements to end us quietly.

[bckm54]

maria callas at 2:24 :)

[maltheseus]

the callas of popmusic. but maria was a more tragic, nina is a more comic figure.

[mzpfans]

and here et9

[mzpfans]

11th take, bitch!

[PluralOfEverything]

Nina Hagen is absolutely one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time.

[Dariaque]

Trop excellent! Mais dur à trouver à maudit!

[amaranueva]

GREAT, SHE IS THE QUEEN IS BETTER THAN LADY GAGA

[haruinous]

i want to be nina hagen

[franciscoalmeidavlog]

em choque!

[stikkirecords]

i loved listening to this stuff at the time that it came out......it was as messed up as my head!!........loads of joy!

[stikkirecords]

nina hagen did many things that others wanted to do but didnt have the balls!!!!!........yah for this great music!

[ekotpekot]

woooow 

[dramaticuslionus]

Love this video, loved those times. Nina Hagen and Herman Brood were the punk version of the film 'Caberet' but in Amsterdam in the 80s rather than Berlin in the 30s. Thanks for uploading this and reminding us of what punk did for those times. For me, Cardiacs kept me on that beautiful and terrifying journey. Get well soon Tim!

[foxfoobar]

Rofl, 3:59 ! Sieht aus wie Kaya Yanar wärend einem Sketch! :D:D

[MrMacfly1983]

ça déchire en fin de soirée....

[xXRedfox2000Xx]

omg... i can say.. its... different. and the most annoying song ever. who was listen to it in that time???

[punkgirlphoto]

How old is this video?



[elsoda]

@punkgirlphoto 1982 or so.

[lanijo58]

so true ELSODA

[instantwildcat]

make war not war, make love not love

[josuerafael94]

BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!nina hagen is a CRAZY BITCH and his music is boring not be as they may like had heard a good rock acts such as METALLICA for these shits

[CrippledPotato]

honestly speaking.. at first I was disgusted by Hagen (that was when I saw a poster of her). I was thinking- My god! this woman is old.. and still tries to be young and goth.....

But then I came across the song Seemann with Apocalyptica.

I knew I needed to know more about this woman.

She is absolutely amazing!!

its a proof , that people are quick to judge >.< I feel terrible for it.

[Clariccy]

@CrippledPotato "honestly speaking.. at first I was disgusted by Hagen (that was when I saw a poster of her). I was thinking- My god! this woman is old.. and still tries to be young and goth....."

Omg. How embarrassing. Ya, Goths and Punks are like in their 50s .....

[punkgirlphoto]

@Clariccy Hell, at least she can pull it off unlike you. Plus with my username I made it when I was bored, and wanted something unique & different back in 2006. So that was a long time ago.

[SUPERDOOPERTUBER]

I love Nina but........ for her to be publicly badmouthing Gaga, that's really sad. Come on Nina darling, handle your menopause like a woman.

[elsoda]

@SUPERDOOPERTUBER are you serious? what she said???????

[SUPERDOOPERTUBER]

@elsoda Yes she said it.

[mammafofoo]

Love her since I heard "African Reggae"--also in her category is Lene Lovich-- STEP DOWN LADY GAGA!!! NO COMPARISON

[XxArtisticDollxX]

she is honestly a real individual...looking at how crazy her videos are I wouldn't be surprised if lady gaga was trying to copy her and even if lady gaga was trying to copy her she can never truly be her because nina has alot more spunk than gaga, everybody thinks gaga is crazy and what not but that's only because they haven't seen nina!

[EdgarVenomous]

@XxArtisticDollxX That's exactly what happens when 13-year-olds watch MTV... Original artists are brutally replaced with mainstream shit (gaga)...

[jpwjr1199]

@XxArtisticDollxX please don't bring lady caca into this

[dolak1919]

@XxArtisticDollxX Nina was always very VERY different>-) Even as a teenager, rebelling against old communist system, against her mother, coming up with ridiculous haircut, makeup...simply Nina.

Just original and born performer, starting with band Automobile....

[JulioD27]

I have been looking for this song for many years, had this on a k-tel album when I was living in Puerto Rico, Nina Hagen is so talented, and she can do anything she wants and its going to be good.

[kicku24]

I agree. She probably was too underrated. I think Nina Hagen deserves a category of her own. Her theme "New York" is pretty good too.

[amilkorsh]

damm this womans is fucking weird!!!!
