I just had a funny idea of parodying this video: Casting 4 members from Half-Life 2 (Dr. Kliener as Ralf, G-Man as Karl Bartos, Barney Calhoun as Wolfgang, and Dr. Breen as Florian) I thought the "Break the glass" verse could be exaggerated, as when that is announced, the music pauses, then shifts to a sub-machinegun shooting a window, then a grenade blowing away the rest. this is followed by display glass breaking. "We're being watched" is of citizens strolling by and a flying robot flashing.
Yeah i agreee with badluck. but This song is about how people said they looked like Showroom dummies, manakins, robots, when they were live. so its about something. lyrics aren't pointless.
Pardon me for saying, but Old Kraftwerk is better than New Kraftwerk... (even better is Old GERMAN Kraftwerk)... I don't like their new material much...
Thanks for your reply. I prefer Schaufensterpuppen better, because "Mannequins" supposed to be French, but it really sounds like German as well, I mean, the German accent is indeed too obvious. But "Mannequins" film is better. And I like Duran Duran's English version, they play this tune with their lovely way.
Kraftwerk Made The Most Beautiful Electronic Music Ever & This Video Shows It. I've Been A Big Fan Of Kraftwerk Since 1977 & I Love Everything That They Do.
This is actually kinda creepy.

'Mannequin' is a French spelling for 'Maenchen'
or Mannikin where '-Kin' is the diminutive as
-'ula' in caligula-'Little boots' or bootikin...
'Shopwindow puppets' might be a better uebersetzung...Great song,innovative band,
Inimitable style.

We are standing here,Exposing ourselves
We're being watched and we feel our pulse
We look around and change our pose
We start to move And we break the glass
We step out And take a walk through the city
We go into a club And there we start to dance
WE ARE SHOWROOM DUMMIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Showroom Dummies music
are going to use it for the
next summer movie the transformers 2
on 2009. This music is going to
be great for the sequel next summer.
