Kraftwerk - Showroom Dummies

[rikka80]

It makes me think of "The Mannequins' Ball" by Jasieński.. :)

[bigladiesman]

German hepcats of the digital age, and funny people as well. We love them.

[TheMissLiber]

Kraftwerk The Best!!! = )

[PascalVillarubias]

Ce sont des empereurs, des maîtres. Le temps n'a aucune prise sur eux et leur distinction naturelle n'a rien d'écrasant. Ils sont tellement sûrs de leur force qu'il est inutile d'en faire montre... on sent même de la bienveillance dans leur regard...

[graziiSide6]

eu sei que hj eles nao sao mais garotos, mas mesmo assim, ainda quero conhecer ele, ir ao show deles, tomara que eles venham ao brasil

[graziiSide6]

2012 e eu amei os garotos dançando no vídeo estilo robótico, meldels que fofos eles! eu necessito conhecer eles pessoalmente!

[coracyeahanimefan]

this video makes me cry xD

[fuckamericanidiot]

Painfully shortened for the listener with little patience but love the video, 35 years old and they're still cool as ever

[fuckamericanidiot]

devo took a lot from kraftwerk but one thing that's really different is how all of kraftwerk looked nothing like one another

[fuckamericanidiot]

kraftwerk greatest hits?? proof that vh1 used to be a good fucking channel once

[floorcatpenis]

BEST FUCKING SONG EVER

[Trainsirenguy]

I love Ralph's dance! :D I hope that they will come to finland.

[roberthagen1]

Leaether Strip did a kick ass version of this tune. I love industrial and not a fan of techno but i have to give credit where it is due. Kraftwerk is for sure a pioneer of tech music.

[eetherealflux]

great!

[xCARSARESEXY]

SHIT!

[xCARSARESEXY]

What a retarded song.!

[LukasCon97]

Dobry, tu Polska! :D

[bauminho15]

8 people don't start to move

[NintendoSegaSonyGuy]

Karl's dance is probably the best.

[ARIEL926]

Love it

[nahpop1]

first kraftwerk track i ever heard, absolutly terrified me when i was younger, awesome!

[hentaisexfreak4life1]

awesome song here wow cool indeed

[Cimbarius]

a strange and misterious atmosphere on track - the whole album "Trance Europe Express" is brilliant. I prefer the English version.

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

So absolutely breathtaking, 10000% RIGHT ON GENIUS!

[lokakuu1985]

8 people are dummies with poles up their asses.

[leftFRENZY187]

creepy germans

[PearlsphereBiophilia]

Simply.

Awesome.

Dance.

[mrbean022387]

Never though I would see kraftwerk dance like that at the end. Florian kind of got some spirit fingers/hand thing going on at 2:22

[TsubakiRan]

I'm a Showroom Dummie~

[marioneognostic]

[versatileXlover]

[arn0ldaar0n]

This video creeped me out a little as a kid-with the mannequens.Now we have a life size Pinhead in our living room.Kraftwerk evokes a nice dark feeling.

[electrokinesis]

I love the pimp walk from 1:37 to 1:41

[jeannegrob]

yeah,,my parents where jamming London in 1977 having a blast....then I appeared some years later in South Africa.....my dad is into jazz but I will always b e into old school ebm,,,,

[JJAstley]

too good to be dummies ;P

[D4ZZ3R1]

omg They can MOOOOOOOOOVE I thought that was just not possible

[SKOTP69]

Always Amazing!

[MayTheEvilOne]

goth?

[bribrimichaeljackson]

@MayTheEvilOne not rlly, just a preferance song to us, we like its beat and boringness XD

[INITIALSJE]

@MayTheEvilOne Goth? NO. This was recorded in 1976. Goth didn't really come about until a few years later. That being said, Kraftwerk did lay the foundation for many Industrial and gothic artists, many fusing the two sounds together. Kraftwerk pretty much pioneered all of it for the most part.

[indegruv]

@INITIALSJE oh really?

[INITIALSJE]

@indegruv is that sarcasm or...? i don't claim to be an expert on it or anything, it's just what I've picked up over the past several years.

[indegruv]

@INITIALSJE then you shouldn't claim things that have no basis in fact. You made a statement that isn't worth the time spent reading it. Why? You added nothing of substance. 

[INITIALSJE]

@indegruv seems as though you are someone who insists on being difficult for no important reason. someone made the comment, "Goth?" AND i replied. Kraftwerk are not GOTH, so i replied. sorry I wasted your much precious time in you reading something with no substance. At least I am trying to communicate with other like-minded fans of music. why does it always have to turn into an argument?

[indegruv]

@INITIALSJE "That being said, Kraftwerk did lay the foundation for many Industrial and gothic artists, many fusing the two sounds together. Kraftwerk pretty much pioneered all of it for the most part." ... nice try to make this into something that it isn't..

[INITIALSJE]

@indegruv Okay, okay. I did say that yes, however being that it does appear to be stated as fact in the way I wrote it, I meant it to be a partial truth (which I still think it is). The genres of music do have a tendency to be somewhat flexible since there are so many connections between a lot of those bands in terms of sound. It's like saying Iggy Pop is the godfather of punk and that would be acceptable to many but then many others would argue that also.

[indegruv]

@INITIALSJE you're just of the mindset that everyone is copying everyone else.

[INITIALSJE]

@indegruv not sure i believe it's that black and white.

[INITIALSJE]

@indegruv  ...but yes, sometimes it seems that way.

[indegruv]

@INITIALSJE because your scope is very limited. many things out there that you have never heard about. Its like saying, everyone is copying Elvis because he was here a long time ago, and sung on stage. therefore, all stage singers are influenced by Elvis. Its a pointless argument. Can things not stand on their own and just "be" rather than being put in tidy little boxes so that you can accept them? For example: Kraftwerk=1970. Tangerine Dream=1967. Now, who's copying who? A) nobody cares. 

[INITIALSJE]

@indegruv For the record, there are some little associations needed to be made, mostly for the younger audiences (younger than us) so at least they have an idea when one is trying to introduce something to someone, even though I've never really liked the idea of categorizing everything anyway. At least we can sort of plant a seed in someone's mind that connects to other things. I don't understand why anyone could be opposed to that. And I'm sure Kraftwerk was influenced by T. Dream.

[indegruv]

@INITIALSJE It means nothing if you are making it up and "assuming" that one thing is influential or "the root cause of" other things, is it not? You're getting into areas that I dont think apply here... Just let it go.

[INITIALSJE]

@indegruv I let it go a long time ago. I believe you are a little overly assumptive about people you barely know. I was never trying to start anything, so you can relax too. I was just trying to have a friendly conversation from the beginning but...alright.

[indegruv]

@INITIALSJE YOU are the one who was "assuming" things, stupid. Which is why I posted to begin with. Just stfu you obviously do not know how to "be wrong" and take it like a man.

[INITIALSJE]

@indegruv Aha. So, I'm stupid am I? That's interesting. Seriously, dude. What's your beef? It seems no matter what I say, you get insulted. You're not one of those meat heads that pretends to be into underground music to be cool are you?

[ShadowDwellerXXX]

pretty beast dance moves...

[Thypthon]

The first time I have seen Ralf Hutter smile in one of the music videos.

[mousan1]

VERY SAD SONG! NICE!

[Guauanco]

This is some of the scariest shit I've ever seen!

[2001Randomkid]

@Guauanco Shut up, its frickin AWSOME!!!!!!!

[iheartburchill84]

would it be wrong if i say wolfgang is pretty cute?

[JrFLYnnIV]

Four people are showroom dummies.

[jasezer]

Never seen Kraftwerk move around that much.

[jteshuwah]

okay, this is interesting... i think i've changed my mind. Softcell's tainted love is NOT the worst brain itch song in the world. i think it may be this! it makes minutes seem like HOURS! think i'll stick to the Blues! stuff's over my head!

[dirtystonerhippie]

ah this should annoy my redneck neighboors lol

[Sims2gurl1]

@dirtystonerhippie annoying redneck neighboors ftw! :D

[Plexpara]

is this the "overdo" dance?but i love the robot moves.

[paulwady]

Over 30 years of religious devotion and this is the first time I have seen this video. Just as well.

I did not know the second line was coming when I first heard this song, performed live at the Liverpool Royal Court gig in 1981. Gods walked the Earth that day.

[skrikon]

oh my god! it's kraftwerk! and they're mooving!

[michelmischa]

uiiiii ! sie tanzen und haben spaß ! :-D leider nur ein paar sekunden davon zu genießen :´-/ wie schade, auch dass die vier auseinandergingen und danach nix bewegendes (!) mehr kam. diese 4er-truppe war wegweisend genial. alles hat seine zeit %-)

[agusravegdl]

crazy germans, they are great

[agapimou0iloveyou]

They were all so handsome.. :) 

[chibiqueenie]

@agapimou0iloveyou Yes they were, believe me if Ralf and Karl got to see walking down the street, I would like to tell me: hey baby ... Would you go to the club with us??? <3 <3 <3

[agapimou0iloveyou]

@chibiqueenie Me too.. :D

[chibiqueenie]

MMM They look very yummy....... Specially Ralf MEOW!!!!

[MrsVazquezzz]

I dont know why but this song seems to me really scary. But I cant stop listening and watching!:O

[lizbetitamas]

Their dance is fantanstic!! *o*

[arlichar11]

brilliant



[microkorger]

that is so hilarious how karl 'changes his pose'. it's like...you know: 'KARL HUNGRY. KARL EAT NOW!' and then he starts to move and breaks the glass.

[PSBelectronica]

This just made my night! I haven't laughed today,but I just did with Kraftwerk dancing...It is absolutely hilarious.And very cute.Geniuses. :D

[THEMISTERSUNSHINE]

Ve Are Showvroom Dummies!

[NikoCahSolo]

I like their dance

[piedrada]

We start to dance (2:09) ... love it!

[SuperSonicAnime19]

florian is the only one who can dance karl and wolfgang just look like robots and rolf ( i never can spell his name right) trys but he still has a smile not like the others

[16mmDJ]

I like Florian's little dance.

[loverofthebigt9]

WE ARE SHOW ROOM D U M M I E S ~~ WE BREAK ~ THE gLASS ! WE START TO MOVE~ WHEN~ THE LIGHT'S GO OUT ! WE COME ALIVE ! AND WE STARTED TO DANCE !

[soundmasterbigbuck5]

lol VH1 date 1982? i think not.. more like 1977!!! re-release was 82.. also: unique version of this, snare and kickdrum overdubs and quite elegant edits of the engrish version.. awesome post..

[RibbonedRat]

The dancing at the end nearly made me piss myself it was so funny xD

[VacuumCat]

dat dance

[electrokinesis]

The song was originally released on the Trans Europe Express album in 1977.

This version is a remix that was released as a single in the UK in 1982. I believe that the video was also made in 1982, although no one has ever confirmed this.

[greenFOD1]

I think I'd set my town on fire dancing like that. Next time I'm out, the "Schaufensterpuppen Skank" is a must.

[xXPlasticxSmilesXx]

>:o i wana be a showroom dummie xD. Florian Dances HALARIOUS!!!! :D

[biscuitchannel]

revolutionary in 1982 but wait, this is actually from 1977. makes it more incredible

[molowytch]

florian é uma peça rara...

[BlueSoulJim]

was video made in 1977 but unreleased until 1982?

[MaskedLamb]

I am in love with song and video! I could watch them dance all day , so cool.

[josemarias]

I'll dance like that the next time I go to a rave

[teddy1066]

The finest performance by any band ever.

[KomarPower727]

2:19 IS THAT A SMILE?

[komodoman]

Animated, yes.

[machiner6]

I bet they used stop-motion for the dummy scenes.

[FreddiesMum]

I just love these guys to bits and I think Florian is the best dancer in the world! Lol! Seriously, Kraftwerk rock.

[CloudSpiral]

@FreddiesMum Yes Florian's dancing is bomb I especially love the hand wiggle.

[jorday10]

love ralf's smile at the end!!!!

[anagezi]

Creepy is that they realy look like dummies...

[JadePugetGirL]

great song!! i like when they start to dance almost at the end it's fun :)

[SirHawkeyeWho]

Lol Karl goes "woo!" at 2:23 xP

[tomddrhodes]

@SirHawkeyeWho haha thats the fastest ive eva seen him move

[saddlesandbrushes]

Cute dancers lol :))))

[6364gg2]

These guys seem so fun to be with

[theseus27]

This song really has a great rhythmic beat to it.

Makes you even want to dance like a robot....

Great song by Kraftwerk!!

[glosoly]

I will dance like this from now and on---

[6364gg2]

Luv this over the mp3. The percussion is TOOOO LOUD!!

[teddy1066]

Guaranteed to cause nightmares.

[Moon27]

I want to go dancing with these guys, they seem to know how to have a good time even if they are "showroom dummies" XD

[DaftSecks]

I'd love to go clubbing with Kraftwerk! @2:16

[EthanThePerson]

These 4 guys could smash anyone off the x-factor with these slick dance moves.

[DarkWagner4]

perfect electronic music

[theseus27]

I couldn't agree more.This song really makes you want to dance like a robot.

Lol....it has a good rhythmic beat to it.

[happygregory1989]

I need dance lessons from these guys. Especially Florian Schneider.

[FABCASTLE]

LOL

[DancingSpiderman]

@happygregory1989 hahaha yeah Florian got the moves...

[Ultraciuk]

@happygregory1989

hahahaha yeah me to :)

[16mmDJ]

@happygregory1989 They actually seem to be enjoying themselves.

[happygregory1989]

@16mmDJ I enjoyed it.

[evelyneverettgreen]

@happygregory1989 next time i'm at a club i'm going to Do The Florian

[saramademoiselle]

Eles eram umas gracinhas quando jovens mas o tempo infelismente passou Ralf nasceu em 20 de Agosto de 1946 em Krefeld, Alemanha.Florian nasceu em 7 de abril de 1947 em (Düsseldorf, Alemanha. Karl Bartos nasceu em 31 Maio 1952, em Berchtesgaden Alemanha

e Wolfgang Flür nasceu em 17 de Julho de 1947 na Alemanha

[FreddiesMum]

Wolfgang is the most sexiest man on earth. He's so cool. This is my all time classic line-up of Kraftwerk. Wouldn't it be great if these four got back together?

[jorday10]

@FreddiesMum i strongly agree. ;)

[jorday10]

yes, i agree. the classic line-up of kraftwerk: ralf, karl, wolfgang, florian. it's the best ever!
