Can - I Want More

[RaymondDundas]

For Can, I really think this song is mediocre. They really jumped the shark after Soon Over Babaluma.

[FootballGaffesGalore]

@RaymondDundas Mediocre or not, this was the only big hit of Can in the UK. No other song has reached the Top 30...

[RaymondDundas]

@FootballGaffesGalore I don't care if a song is a "hit"; I care if a song is good.

[simonfergus1]

im simon and i like can!!!!

[gemmad4it]

GOT THIS CAN IN MY SHOPPING BASKET!!!!!!!HEEHEE LUVERLYYYYYYYYYYYYY ;¬D

[JeffBuckleyFanboy]

would people stop comparing everything to Radiohead. it's getting pretty annoying.

[mizz1255]

Back to the past for the future. Sublime and way ahead of its time.

[MasterJuancho]

what the FUCK is Can doing on Vevo???????!!!

[MELONMOVIES]

SHIT, JUST LOST THE GAME!!! :O

[n64wilbert]

HELL YEA!!!

[Ducksexbody]

i don't particularly care who they influenced or how much they experimented this shit just sounds good!

[PeregrineTrousers]

LFO heaven. Dry trem guitar intro makes it special right way. Excellent video too :=)

[Mazurka1001]

It seems that they influenced so many genres, including 'funk', 'disco', 'art rock' ...truly remarkable.

[shkwave99]

@Mazurka1001 I know. I keep thinking of such diverse musicians as George Clinton, Kraftwerk, Creedence (In the intro and guitar riff throughout), the list goes on.

[Arminchen]

Hi men! Guitarsound howsoever! That unusual dry drum sound for can, nearly taken as a funk drum, thats the surprising thing here for my taste. And, as well, this unusual good mood, which is coming out from that sound. Hehe, that make me happy!

[kieranification]

@Arminchen I think I know what you mean. Strange indeed

[palexandersquires]

Thank you for putting this song on you tube, I bought this single in 1976!

[raydog699]

Guitar's nicked from Dick Dale and dude from Ventures. And most of the shredding footage in vid isn't even Damo, my friends. It's definitely Nuuhiwa and Takuji.

[suereed]

ha ha blah blah ha ha

[Dk2601]

fuck off vevo ya wankers

[tatunkha]

Another under the radar genius piece of music so thanks for the upload

[gilamonster001]

Grossartige Band !

[shevagol20]

Questa brano influenzerà i Talking Heads ...e i paralleli Tom Tom Club.....grande musica

[Neptuneman07]

i want more, and more, and more!!!!

[kristalklass]

Why are people going on about something called Radiohead? What's that?

[SpiralishCandy]

Who is radiohead?

[progrocker69]

Somebody on a message board asked the question, "how much fucking money do these people NEED?", in reference to the Gulf oil spill. All I could think of was this song and its chant of "more and more and more and more and more...." So I come here to look for a video to post in response and fuck if it ain't footage of people surfing on a nice pretty beach. Days like this I wish I hadn't gotten out of bed.

[Oscar301]

a piece of magic

[theevindave]

talkin theevinheads

[seapockets]

this is the most "happy" sounding song i'v heard by can.

[apples13able]

maybe because it's about surfing in the 70's?, ...one of the happiest things one can do

[simonfergus1]

@seapockets dont forget about laugh till you cry live till you die

[dunnefan]

one of the influences for "How soon is now " by The smiths.

[hanoverkid]

brilliant then and STILL !

[duxberry1958]

one of my favorite tunes

[eddielawless]

HEAVENLY! great vid.

[19801604]

1976 A LONG WAY OFF 1970!

[martinevans123]

sure surfs along

more waves

five Köln beach stars

[thankGodforDavidG]

CAN the "Krautrock" band from Cologne, West Germany had their own style and refused to be influenced by the then current trends, it can be said that music like this made around 1970 was the seed for electronic music as we know it today. I salute Holger Czukay, Michael Karoli, Jaki Liebezeit and Irmin Schmidt for their creations !!!

[n64wilbert]

@thankGodforDavidG it's from 1976!!

[thankGodforDavidG]

@n64wilbert ~~ thank you for correction.

[Doriiexplorii]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WOW!

[lovesGenet]

i know where P.I.L. got their trancelike percussion and bass from and Jaki worked with them or a bassist not sure. but their best tells you where the idea came from.

[darkmarkrammstein]

@lovesGenet o0h great comment there. much respect

[spunkyspooky]

i have been on a can kick.. superb!!

[ixchaos]

cruising

[hairycub69]

and now I know where Talking Heads got their funky guitars riffs from.....(o;.....I want more ......and more and more

[phishhed44]

Good call man...

[unviciouscircle]

great upload

5* from me

[wpfffkkk]

jajaja!!! this is music

[06pdav2]

first time ive heard Can fucking amazing surfy psychedelic pop! when were they around? 70s?

[rumkasusu]

Thank you for this video I love CAN and their music.There is another wonderful video with can music search ITAVIANI and enjoy it.

[leonca76]

que loquera!

[helstontvx]

A fan of can..man what can can do for such a known fan...er fucked if I know hwere this is going...love this tune though..moves really well.

[kakadoodie]

CAN BLOWS!!!

[Ferrisaable]

Love this!

[valgehiir]

many say the video is no good,

many find it great. it does NOT distract. it does not ruin the song, just flows with a tune. A rare thing, that

[DanielBowden1975]

Everyone should be a CAN, if they haven't heard of em then play them some and if they don't love it then fuck em off

[filtro6]

So are Radiohead

[bunnybrownhere]

So are Jesus & Mary Chain, Primal Scream , Mauskramp , & Death in Vegas ! We all love CAN

[23chingatumadre]

Radiohead are pussies compared to CAN

[TerrierBram]

@23chingatumadre Why compare Radiohead with Can? To be honest, I know only this song of Can, and know OK Computer rather well. This is cheerful strange music, Radiohead is depressed like a lunatic house.

[AFXisgreat]

@23chingatumadre Radiohead is a completely different band than Can is. Both bands are among the best ever. A lot of people wouldn't know about Can if it wasn't for Radiohead along with some other bands. Can't we just love both of them?

[EMANEMFREE]

@AFXisgreat non

[tolpacourt]

@23chingatumadre FUCK Radiohead right in the NECK

HAHAHAHA

[knockknock909]

@tolpacourt, What the fuck does Radiohead have to do with a band started in 1968?

[tolpacourt]

@knockknock909 Exactly.

[brotherbuttcrack]

@knockknock909 Legend has it that Radiohead (Thom Yorke (sp?)) wishes they were Can. The Theif is a Can cover.

[knockknock909]

@brotherbuttcrack, It's no secret that The Thief is a Can cover. Radiohead have tipped their caps to and covered many bands that they like or who have influenced them. I don't understand the insecure leap in logic that a band that covers another bands song wants to be that band, especially when its obvious which band has accomplished more. At this point Radiohead wanting to be Can is under achieving.

[brotherbuttcrack]

@knockknock909, Yea I guess I could've put it in better words. For the record, I wasn't saying "they covered the theif, therefore they wish they were Can." It was more of a short list of things that bridged the 2 bands. But it sounds like you already knew the answer to your own question.

[robotechian23rd]

@23chingatumadre trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­

[lasrarities]

@23chingatumadre What the fuck have Radiohead got to do with CAN - are you mentally ill?

[flooberbloob]

@lasrarities Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood have both cited Can as inspiration. Yorke in particular has referenced them in interviews. So perhaps your narrowmindedness is your reason for your "mentally ill" comment.

[mellamoaugusto]

@flooberbloob fuck radiohead piss of here idiot

[MrSKINFLICK]

@flooberbloob: "Inspiration" is no excuse for being boring most of their later career. Kraftwerk are also often boring to me, though lots of their American fans revere them like gods, but a synthesizer is still a synthesizer a synthesizer...understand ?

[flooberbloob]

@MrSKINFLICK I never referred to their whole career.

I am not American , but I do revere their first six albums.

Your synthesizer comment is senseless..Many synthesizers manipulate sound differently regarding sustain, oscillation, tone and harmonics. Having played with several keyboardists who use synthesizers, there is a skill in how they approach the keyboard based on the synth used, from Moog to Fairlight and many in between and an art to manipulating each tone used. UNDERSTAND?

[MrSKINFLICK]

@flooberbloob: Now i was referring to RADIOHEAD and not to CAN, hope we got that clear ! The "drugs" had nothing to do with both bands but rather with some of the fans of Radiohead, i would not use them while listening to use - produces silly allusions in one´s head often. Thanks for the info on sustian, oscillation, tone and harmonies - but i played an analogue korg with sequencer myself some time ago + so i´m pretty well informed how synthesizers function !

[MrSKINFLICK]

@flooberbloob: Mentioning Kraftwerk fans i only wanted to indicate that THEY might have often no clue what a synthsizer is ABOUT and confuse the generally similar functioning structuralist sound of a synthesizer with the band Kraftwerk itself. Some people will never have a clue. The maintain that Kraftwerk have "influenced" each + everyone on earth - but they don´t know that this is mainly due to the fact that a synthesizer has to SOUND like a synthesizer, understood, too ?

[roserh6]

@lasrarities Radiohead have consistently ranked Can among their favorite and most influential artists.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@lasrarities: I ask myself what some American or wherefrom the fuck "fans" might conclude all from CAN.

Drugs are only good for having sex, but not for listening to music mostly !

[MegaAndreNo]

@lasrarities ... The thief?...

[MrSKINFLICK]

@23chingatumadre:

HOW RIGHT YOU ARE. RADIOHEAD EVEN BLATANTLY COPIED XTC at the beginning of their career.

But they´re overrated in every sense. Btw: What do they have to do with CAN ?

German greetz & visit my channel´s playlists !

[HenryCovert]

this was used well in the film Morvern Callar.

[ayeshter]

really? Where?

[joeyrider]

anche senza Damo Suzuki sono il massimo I love later CAN a lot

[svenolley]

and more and more and more..,

[flooberbloob]

Well said nabbsy...throw babaluma in there for good measure...soundtracks is without doubt a classic undersungmeisterwerk...

[maxcippi]

Il video è grandee.... loro sono semplicemente psichedelici!!! straordinari....

[nabbsy88]

if you like can, check out tago mago (1971) Future days (1973) ege bamyasi (1972) or the 1970 album just called soundtracks of which mothersky is a must for any can fan, but also oh yeah from tago mago...theyre different stereotype stoner music but they are so cool guys, check em out! peace an love guys x

[edisonoside]

Fini Tribe also does a version of this .

[gilamonster001]

JA LEUTE ! DEUTSCHE GRUPPE ! GEIL WAH !

[Dynamo883]

funky

[giptonsilly]

This is the song the lead guitarist from the Smiths got the Idea for 'How soon is now'

[Caligula138]

I didnt know Johnny Marr was a fan of Can!

[nicademus666]

@giptonsilly good call.

[knockknock909]

@giptonsilly, Sounds like someone needs to listen to Bo Diddley.

[giptonsilly]

@knockknock909 What do you mean ?

[knockknock909]

@knockknock909, I mean that Johnny Marr actually got the idea for "How Soon is Now" mainly from Bo Diddley's playing style, and more obviously his song Hey Mona. It's just what I've read and heard him say in interviews.

[bassist4141]

@giptonsilly you mean, johnny marr?

[giptonsilly]

@bassist4141 yea that's the geezer

[Rufusdos]

@giptonsilly Nice suggestion. Do you have evidence?

[giptonsilly]

@Rufusdos I saw a documentary on the TV I think it was on BBC 4. He says : "It was my boyhood love of 'Disco Stomp', Can's 'I Want More' and then tying the whole thing together with the Bo Diddley bo, as it were. That was the whole thing." Iv just listened to them all on Spotify and I can see where he's coming from. i can send you the link to the interview because it wont let me send it here.

[Rufusdos]

@giptonsilly Thanks for your response. I'd be interested to see the link, if you have a moment. it's [my YouTube name] at gmail dot com! I think 'I want more' is such a strong example of what's best about disco - the twee innocence on the surface and the darkness underneath, I'm not surprised it was influential.

[travelvue]

@giptonsilly I was thinking of 'Born Under Punches' from the Talking Heads

[tatunkha]

@giptonsilly this song inspires many other musos to go make great music. Can the muso's band

[xboyfriend]

"@giptonsilly sounds a little bit like "hand jive" . . . but i'll let johny marr know . . . and most everyone who touched a keyboard int the eighties. [off to listen to "how soon is now"]

[alonsoxabilfc]

@giptonsilly

hang on, i see the resembelance but the story goes that Johnny Marr created that effect entirely by accident when he dropped his guitar

[giptonsilly]

@alonsoxabilfc Sorry that's a load of bollocks. On the BBC documentary "The Story Of The Guitar". He said: "It was my boyhood love of 'Disco Stomp', Can's 'I Want More' and then tying the whole thing together with the Bo Diddley bo, as it were". The dropped guitar accident is a myth or as we say an old wife's tale.

[alonsoxabilfc]

@giptonsilly

it seems you're right. god damn "songs that saved your life". how could the author get that so wrong.

[Rangerlady142]

Roman Bellisario - a pacesetter in Cinematography..... the son of my college roomate - Does that make me biased? YES, but his talent speaks for itself!!! LM

[Rangerlady142]

Amazing video --- I am a fan of Patrick Trefz, and Roman Bellisario - tremendous talent !!!!!!!!!!!!

[pooja294]

its really nice

[fassbinder18]

Da könnt ich mich reinsetzen ,war der Kommentatr von unswer damaligen Freundin

Birgit Bartl, Krüger.

[squidbeak1]

best band ever

[schnippenwippen]

Tanzen, Los!

[estetyk]

WOW, - first time writer, love your music!!!

[Hanullist]

Can - The Best Kraut Forever, Das Beste was jemals auf deutschem Boden entstanden ist, Absolut.

[1nosaer]

From "Saw Delight," when it came out, oh around '76, I never thought I be watching it on my lap as background music to a cool surfing video. 2 things I still love, Can and surfing...nice combo, very good video...thanks alot.

[1nosaer]

Whoops, have to reply to myself for a correction; it was "Flow Motion," not "Saw Delight." 5 or 6 years ago a friend and I transferred all our old Can 'vinyls' over to CD and 'Flow Motion' and 'Saw Delight' are on the same one. Pulled it out this morning for a listen. What a fun, adventurous band!

[joeyrider]

yep man you got it.. CAN and surfing I can go for it forever, happy to share the same feeling

cheers mate

[PickledStone888]

The Smiths' " How Soon Is Now " was partly influenced by this.

[stey2k]

been watching the story of the guitar? lol it was also influenced by Disco Stomp by Hamilton Bohannon

[bedsitter1982]

Yes, and also by Bo Diddley.

[hahasaidthecar]

and probably the entire output of Talking Heads.

[geroldf]

Can shreds!

[GizmoLico]

this should have been number 1, but what can you do.. :(

[R0SECR0IX]

Ha, this is sampled on Ege Bam Yasi's I want more. Suddenly the world makes sense...

[jjmccann]

love this song,hate this clip.

[54spiritedwill54]

Good song - remember it well.

[bmr21091970]

So this is Can... funny, heard a lot about them, as a German... Not too bad for that time...

[edshipsey]

check out there album tago mago its them earlier on quite different a lot more serrious and trippy far less poppy

[ChrisyMcCullagh83]

Quality song before or after going out! all really interesting points made by people in here about the Can!

[faustain]

Can were fantastic surfers. Damo only got in the band because he could surf....

[dilzappa]

A hit single in 1976,the b side was 3 minutes of just "...and more" on repeat!

[kernelgadaffi]

I'd never heard this track until just after 8pm last night, gonna track the album down, I mostly listen to Tang D and related stuff, but am going to get some Can,great stuff.

[han500]

In UK this song was a hit back in.. what.. 1976? And a surprise hit if any. Love it.. forever!

[Gyan111]

The Album "Flow Motion" was completely recorded in Dummy Head Stereo.

One of my Can Favourites...

[billyhay]

this song only showed CAN on its absolute surface.....beneath this crystal is a motherload of perfect crude music that luckily is still being mined by a few so that CAN will never die out

[LocutusMe]

Very funny song, but Stockhausen wasn't amused.

[NoBlood4Oil2007]

despite what some people might say, Flow Motion is a great album, almost on par with their earlier classics

[toyplasticcello]

What album is this off of?

[JeromBD25]

1st track of Flow Motion (1976)

[toyplasticcello]

Thanks dude!

[Andrewsmate]

Step to the left, step to the right, yeh it's can and you can dance, cos they are FAB

[martinevans123]

Gratifying that Can's only `hit' was at least recognisably them. They deserved more (?) and more? nice vid.. Hunters and Collectors anyone?

[VanSpeedwagon]

Yes, they did deserve more and more...accolades.

[braincras]

yeah i love their style, especially this "kinky" song!

[VaelVictus]

It's called avant-garde.

[duecinquesei]

Oh totally oatally dooode!

[carlotta8]

merveilleux moreceau de musique!

[benlu123]

Love the song ...their early stuff is incredibly weird!

[skatesurfslide]

Good damn surfing--not big on the song. Guess there's some Thread connection...

[PlayItLoud2007]

Brilliant. Sounds like a cross between 80's British pop and 70's American porno music. Absolute classic

[boerni1976]

If we think about their first records, we have to say, this is very commercial, but its quiet good dancing-stuff, but the end of CAN isn't far away

[FoxtronInk]

How about a joint?

[velyogendra]

I had this song on a 12" single, that also had a song "...And More".

[jackbaldus]

my best mates dad wrote the lyrics for this song!! Peter Gilmour is a legend

[jackbaldus]

@jackbaldus  That is actually true.

[beermat7]

Good song - remember it well. Video kind of flows with the music imho.

[robbinmilliam]

Hey, this video is good! By the way the song is incredible beauty! Where did you find this Can's rarity?

[tomdissonance]

"rarity"? it was a UK Top 40 hit.

[cronoyuha]

dayyyum.

[ridedirtba]

if you like "sunday jam" then your the man.

[ridedirtba]

all can is good can.

[quorn]

disco can is still the jam

[Hippolati]

quite stupid video, but excellent music

[cronoyuha]

fun song, but doesnt compare to early can
