Ann Steel did the original. Telex liked it so much they covered it. Personally I prefer Telex' version.

[discomadame]

OMG... great one, can't get hold on this record!!!

[utubeeros]

I remember the single, a pic of her close-up in that hat....seems it was before 1979

[Michele640]

What babies? I just wrote that, as far as I know, she didn't record other famous songs after this one.

....................wat

[Jalkotsu]

Ahhh. If only someone could help me out with the spoken-word part right after she says "Dr Einstein, I'm going supernova. There's not a single thing that you can do."

I got it up to there and after she says "...Dr. Einstein and Mrs. Einstein into the boat."

but right in between there... rrghghrh

[Chillagher]

@Jalkotsu Think she says "What should I do? Four men got Dr. Einstein and Mrs. Einstein into the boat."

[l3m4nt]

excellent track, thx a million!

[frenchfox75]

Merci Merci Merci ! Je cherche égalment la version de telex, groupe belge avec ce son dit technopop

[ldv250]

YESS !!!!!!!!! je cherchai ca depuis si longtemps !!! merci !!je me rapelle mes 13 ans et je l avais entendu sur RTL en 1979 !! ya surement un super remix a faire !! avec plus des basses et de percus !!

[Krilnik1]

Im absolutely intrigued by this song. Found it via the Telex version. This track was produced in 1979 and they were talking about "do-it-yourself cybernetics", "stored data " and "Stored on the shelves of my memory, My thoughts are in perfect array " way back then??? Amazing. Anyway, i love this song...for some reason i can relate to it somehow...

[McLarenMercedes]

before its time no doubt

I am a Telex fan and always wondered how the original sounded...

[javiers1errao]

I need overwhelming information

for a complete shopping list

Arrylic colours oscillate my eyes

when i walk down a drugstore aisle

My time my time i love my time

[vanpet]

thanks a lot!

[javiers1errao]

my time has something mare

my time's the best there's ever been

my time i love my time

thank you my time

Stored on the shelves of my memory

My thoughts are in perfect array

[javiers1errao]

I learn do it yourself cybernetics

While i'm joggimg on a rolling tray

I love my weekends in the pure air

On the heights of the Eiffel tower

[javiers1errao]

My life runs smooth like a highway

billboards show rnw the way

My love stories have the flavour

of a swiss made digital watch

When i have to know what to love

I recall my stored data

[javiers1errao]

My time my time i lave my time my time has something more my time's the best there's ever been my time i love my time thank you my time My thoughts are still like a photo In the hall of a Hilton hotel My reflex actions are mechanized Like japanese camera tourists Happily milling in Bloorningdales shooting the beautifil symbols

[vanpet]

I'm not english speaker, so can someone help me fill the blanks? There are two sentences I do not get (+ the spoken part, which I don't get at all!)

I need overwhelming information

For a complete shopping list

? my eyes

When I walk down the drugstore aisle

Stored on the shelves of my memory

My toughts are in perfect array

? cybernetics

When I'm jogging on a rolling tray

[Pommit]

It is hard to understand. I can't make it out very well.

[ROoooo80]

Single mix seems different to the album version, maybe not..

[vincentjacque]

Hmmm... I usually like Telex (I am Belgian, lol), but in this case, honestly, their cover isn't that interesting to me. The Ann Steel's orchestration is unique !!!

[groovechaser]

Crap on a cracker!!!! I gotta get a copy of this!

[gattelli73]

The disc was recently submissive digitally, the album is the unusual in being made with acoustic instruments masked by electronic: means bottom lines are made to prepared piano, the sound of metal percussion is given by chains that touch the strings the plan, there is also the battery; many parts of guitar are engraved at low speeds and sometimes tapes running on the contrary. Produced/ arranged by Roberto Cacciapaglia who plays the piano, the harpsichord filtered, the portativo organ

[joesophagus]

I think I got about half of what you just wrote. But yeah, a lot of the instruments throughout the album are acoustic, yet made to sound electronic. I think you just backed you up what I always suspected, maybe?

[Pommit]

How big was this song? Was it big in the UK?

[philippedl]

can get all that she says... somebody would help me?

[avatar1933]

I WAS YOUNG, BUT I REMEMBER THAT

[kkoohheeii]

ウルトラグッジョブ！ずっと聴きたかった曲です

＆good-byマーク・ムーラン！

[scoopmortix]

it's the onely song i heard of Ann Steel.

[Michele640]

I remember this song very well, but it seems to me Ann Steel didn't do anything comparable anymore later.

[mocangetLOW]

@Michele640 she had babies. i was one of them....still am technically.

[psychopompo]

super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
