[keggerous]

spin put this in their top 50 bands of all time :(

[SpAcEpOp9800]

@keggerous what's with the sad face?

[keggerous]

@SpAcEpOp9800 cuz i really dont think this is top 50 material. to each their own i guess

[SpAcEpOp9800]

@keggerous fair enough

[Happysundaze]

Originally this was released as the B side of one of the Computer World singles (in 1981) but it was so popular on juke boxes that the record company put it out as an A side and it became a number one single for Kraftwerk, So even before Youtube fan power worked. Love it.

[mandyodedra64]

[qysan]

Love this - takes be back years

[BreakingJDF]

How does this song tell the honest truth about any women today XD

One of my favourite tracks. Absolute classic! :)

[Rubyysful]

[kershaw1983]

This proves that the 1980's was the BEST DECADE EVER!!!!!!!

[CrazyAboutProg]

@kershaw1983 this was recorded in 1978 XD

[TheBaggieboy95]

@CrazyAboutProg yes but by the time people in britain heard it it was 1981 so people wouldn't of known

[CrazyAboutProg]

@TheBaggieboy95 you have a valid point.

[DJShooter986]

18 people are models but they're not looking goood

[cheriancherry]

Brilliant. One and only true electronic band.

[702eburton]

These guys are scientists of sound

[MJP474]

Awesome KraftsWerksManshiP

Thank You

[MsSandyZ]

I am in Dusseldorf, yay.......

[Eoinposse]

Kraftwerk were very much to Germany what ABBA were to Sweden or the Beatles to the UK.

[garyw930]

May I recommend the book 'A Concise Guide To Eighties Music' by Karl Vorderman. The author is a big fan of this 1982 UK chart-topper.

[ironhammerphilosophy]

that melody..gets stuck in your head foreeeever.

[nickyhavey]

@ironhammerphilosophy I remember when I first heard this as a kid and I was in a car at about 4 years old, not really knowing much about life, except that this was an epic track and it still is now. Inspiring stuff!

[123ekog]

All dj in the world today should take a bow for these guys! They were the beginning of all electronic music

[betterinformed]

this song tell the truth about many GIRLS NOT WOMEN.

[rea12326]

I like the live version better.

[LouisiBros]

This song is a new wave predecesor. It'a a classic moog sinthetizer song

[bernardkersse66]

The Dons !! One of the greatest bands to grace this planet,the velvet underground, joy divison etc etc.

[donners8207]

look

[Eoinposse]

Kraftwerk are the reason the elctronic scene in Germany is so good.

[jrfitz88]

KORREKT!

[MrCyssiek]

Oh, german version is better... but now I understand what this piece is about.

[Arcticwolf1964]

God fathers of synth, one of my very first 7" records of ever bought, sheer brillance.

[MrAdammassacre]

14 people are ugly ducklings and arent looking good :P

[MRFARZAD1346]

I Was 8 Or 9 Years Old When I Heard This Song In,And That,s Really Long Time Ago But Still One Of The Best Electronic Music In The Time Even NOW.............Thank,s

[HadeesHeart]

Why's everone hating this song? It's fucking amazing o,o

[Bandyheadachemaker]

An all time classic!!

[Galakticus]

This song is complete and utter shite.

1:42 That dolls make me laugh!

[trilobright]

Wow, you can tell these guys are popular with asspies just by looking at the comments. Autistic fucks can't handle the notion of someone not sharing their enthusiasm for a band or genre of music.

Does it make you angry that I also think trains are stupid and uninteresting? 

[volvomantom]

@trilobright As someone with mild autism I am not offended by your comment in the slightest.

[trilobright]

@volvomantom

But what if I tell you that trains are stupid and totally uninteresting? That the only thing worse than Kraftwerk is heavy metal? Or that I majored in the philosophy of feminist art history? Hm, HMMM? U MAD YET???

[volvomantom]

@trilobright Cockwhisk.

[hardcoresince1988]

@trilobright Thats harsh. Judging by your comment you are either an 'aspie' yourself (Its common knowledge the only peole who say the word 'aspie' are people who actually have AS) and are really bitter about it. Or you have just been raping wikipedia for things a associated with AS. I mean trains?? Stereotyping idiot. On a plus side, great song!

[trilobright]

@hardcoresince1988

u mad asspie?

[hardcoresince1988]

@trilobright LOL. Nice 'comeback' :s

[trilobright]

@hardcoresince1988

lol y u mad tho?

[karlitos993]

los descubri con este tema.No me gustaba la electronica y eran alemanes; muy buen tema de cuando eramos jovenes con el pelo largo y no teniamos que afeitarnos. Nunca olvide este tema ni su nombre:Kraftwerk.El tiempo los pondra en el lugar que se merecen.

[royalnaz1]

no ones version is better than kraftwerk.

WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING?

YOUR THE TYPE OF IDIOT THAT WOULD SAY TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE RE DO IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL

[st1cklebr1ck]

@royalnaz1 That should be "YOU'RE the type of idiot..." Idiot!

[emjay946]

13 dislikes, whats the matter with people, this is synth music at its best, this is what it was all about, i know this because i followed gary numan since 1979,

and gary numan is well...........the best maybe not the 1st but for me, the best

[TheAnalisem]

i think big black's version is better, but thats only because i like punk and it has that feel. but without the orinigal it wouldnt exist, both are well made

[gengw69]

thanks for posting cracking tune

[dmcmahan121]

I used to skateboard to this music!!!!

[bbbarajitas]

ta re chida esta rolita!!!!

[theboomboxattacks]

Kraftwerk takes coolness to a whole new level

[SuperLazos]

The best song of KRAFTWERK!!

[AvensiSxD]

@BohemianAmmonoid Kraftwerk are the fathers of Electronic.

[aivh1395]

@AvensiSxD true...hey what happened to them?

[kratos123465]

the rammstein vercion is better I thing

[TheModCon]

@kratos123465 Seriously? As much as I love Rammstein (I really do), their cover of this absolutely perfect song is a travesty. Kraftwerk >>>>>>>> Rammstein

[MrDoobie28]

There is A Model who lives in the Aquitaine region of France qui

j'adore beaucoup.

I have lost track of the number of times I have played this song and never get tired of it. It is timeless.

'I would like to take her home

it's understood'.

[mitt37]

12 people know nothing about music

[hrdanmark1]

13 persons know something about music?

[MorbidMarauder]

@mitt37 HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, YEA FUCKING RIGHT. This shit sucks.

[itsonlyamy]

@xxMassMurderer1235xx I never said my age was a big deal.... -.-

[TheGardinero]

whatever..x



[walkerthep]

Assim começou o tecno .......rock....

[itsonlyamy]

@theflea I'm trying to demostrate how certain young people can appreciate amazing music. So if you're looking for an argument, which you appear to, like most people on youtube, then don't bother. Because i'm not here for arguing.

[xxMassMurderer1235xx]

@itsonlyamy your age isn't a big deal. i'm 16 and i like kraftwerk. not a big deal. kraftwerk effects people of many different ages.

[rhyno4eva]

Best Kraftwerk album: The Man Machine.

[jcracker]

@rhyno4eva i agree. i can't really get into any of the others.

[TheModCon]

@rhyno4eva Nah :D Trans Europe Express is their best LP for me <3

[rrrose1000]

excellent music!!

[itsonlyamy]

@bobo007xx No, obviously not. How stereotypical of you.

[rubbishycrap]

Florian Schneider "Ja, Car always lasts longer."

[JigSawHearts]

If people want to live in a world that is only two ways, that's their problem. People are people. So, girls like men are going to be different also(and obviously)

[bob4master]

eigentlich ist der song in deutsch gemacht woorden ^^

[itsonlyamy]

I'm 15, and i am madly in love with 80's electronic music. Kraftwerk really influence my life and my music. and i think people should chill out and enjoy the music!

[bobo007xx]

@itsonlyamy what?? no myley cyrus?

[theflea39]

@itsonlyamy We don't care how old you are.

[bradleym1]

Relax , Why dont you just enjoy the music folks?

[TheSweetyLalala]

[Xerzzel]

Personally i love being shallow.... I have lived to long, to know i go nuts being with someone i truly find not Beautiful....

[kingoflombards]

Rammstein plays this song. That just blows my mind! The styles are too different!

[pawprint1059]

OH man, LOVE THIS SONG! :D

[jmaggio13]

@andyrath the standards of sheep certainly have gone up since then my freind ;)

[panther0567]

@jmaggio13 LMAO. ouch.

[Electroguy1996]

All I'm saying is that the description meant that I couldn't look down the comments and see praise of the music but rather people agreeing or disagreeing with the description.

[MegaAtlantean]

Never mind Jean Michel Jarre or Gorgio Maroder, Kraftwerk are and always will be the pioneers and godfathers of electronic music.So many bands would not be around today if their influence was not there, and also so many bands have sampled their incredible work.

[nimrodms]

8 people are gay

[ShueHorny]

As a woman, I love it when men are attracted to me, when they double-take in public, etc. I know how to look & how to dress to make that happen too. When I leave the house looking like I just crawled out of bed, I don't expect any man to give me the hot eye.There's not a thing wrong with wanting to be desired by the opposite sex It's primal, natural and normal. It's part of being human.People who embrace and enjoy sex have no problem with this and yes, I have a self-esteem and an IQ.

THIS SONG IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!

[Nordsternfreunde]

[royalnash]

a lot of girls do not look good. the make up they put on makes them look better than what there face really looks like.

[jimjamsbashford]

how does this song tell the truth about women today? u clamp

[dawe2569]

dass iz good jar!

[GenoClown]

@mtaylor848 Actually, you can't speak for all men. A LOT of men do have that fucked up mindset.

[GenoClown]

There are girls who make their guys shave. Shaving isn't even a big deal. It's the weight. Now-Timey-Days I guess any girl not reminiscent of a holocaust survivor is for whatever fucking reason unappealing to people... It's sickening.

[09w]

The 8 people who dislike this song must be deaf

[shameless792]

lovely track but try infected mushroom-heavyweight 

[psycopink]

yea dat tis a sexist thing to say, but off dat subject this song f****n rocks, my mom had this album on EP, and member hearing it at the age of 5, makes the hairs stand up my neck,, they paved da way for alota electronic music today for wich they r gods!! peace and kraftwerk light to all!!! 8O}

[0Natashaizere]

About Men as well

[1alexcncmac]

Kraftwerk were true pioneers. Most artists of the early 80's say that Kraftwerk was their biggest influence. They're like the Bob Dylans of synthpop and electro.

[lil4463]

pure 80's..excellent

[49BuescherMan]

@lil4463 this album was released in '78, not the 80's.

[qucusclan]

@49BuescherMan io avevo solo 12 anni ma li ascoltavo con le cuffie mio padre mi regalo'questo loro album in musicassetta.Fantastici e x l'epoca molto innovativi.

[cyberdyne11]

A totally iconic track, sound, and group and thankfully the likes of Kraftwerk helped drag the music world kicking and screaming out of the string twanging, pig skin bashing timewarp that was the sixties and seventies

[MrIAMpeanut]

so catchy.i also agree with kindwolf1(video uploder) this song does tell the truth about most women today

[colibri1]

I always thought this song had some of the shallowest, stupidest lyrics I'd ever heard, basically just saying that some woman is a model and the male singer is attracted to her, especially once she gets successful. My opinion hasn't changed; this is still a stupid song that says nothing. Yet, it apparently inspires misogyny in some men, like the poster of this vid. Why is that?

[dpmduran]

@colibri1 Your comment is what's stupid! Did you somehow miss the point of this song? It's Kraftwerk..not Opera!

[songnight]

@colibri1 The Madonna/Whore Complex. Most men hone in on and commit to women for their appearance, and women learned loooong ago (subconsciously) that tarting up results in secondary gains.

Kraftwerk is the shit, though.

[IrishRetroGamer]

This song is about Lady Gaga.

"She's looking good for beauty, we will pay"

Oh, I forgot, Man Gaga is man.

[comfortablynumbb]

excellent lyrics and music

[GoodVibesOfficial]

♪♫♥ ;) !

[EESeizmic]

Good description. Great song. 

[cicconeandroid]

1:50-2:20

[alfaubrom]

If anyone fancies check out a band Aqua Vista myspace reverb drenched beach punk version of this, its a bit good too!! its instrumental or maybe just mental?

so you can do your own german accented karioke to it?!

[calvinthecat81]

These people started with vac tube amps.

Some of the first syntissized music ..........even if I spell it wrong they are soooooooo good !

[totheterrorist]

the description kinda bugs me, according to the popular culture women get 'prettier' to make men pay attention to then, if any of you men knew how this is charged from us even on the smallest things during our daily routine you could notice how women allienation with her image derives mainly from third people and not from them 'shallow nature', so I find really hard to blame only the individual when there's a lot of elements and fragments involved. Although I looove this song lol

[thezodiac68]

I've being looking for the name of this song for aaaaaaaggggeeeesssss!!! FINALLY!!!!

[jakkiiam]

Top notch!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[joeisaflyingfish]

To quote Dylan Moran: 'I'm not making any massive generalisations, but women have no feelings'. ;)

[UncleSamFisher]

Is the english version sang by the same guy who did the german version
