Klaus Nomi - The Twist

[imaginerie1]

cela fait longtemps que j 'aime Klaus Nomi...je n 'ai jamais su si , il était l 'un des derniers castrats ?

merci de le rappeler à la mémoire .

evelyne.

[SunSerenity]

I love all his songs, but this one is very special, can't stop listening. If somebody should be called genius, it would be Klaus.

[Gallowghoul]

there should be a award called the Klaus Nomi award

[stelth90]

I think if you turn a song by Chubby Checke and make this.......your creative in some way shape or form//but I do like Klaus..

[sanpaco13]

This kind of reminds me of Bowie's "Station to Station"

[sharkifurdd]

so glad i found this video.. :)

[Fruchtzwerg3006]

I see orange stripes... . xD

Great song, if you want to chill and realx... love that. :D

[RostadeBiffen]

THIS IS THE CRAPPIEST SHIT I'VE EVER HEARD! How can anyone listen to this?

[BloodyCatastrophee]

@RostadeBiffen no, this is fantastic. =) very psychedelic. =) But I respect your opinion. But it is great. =)

[progress2007]

This song is so epic. Perfect performance by Nomi and incredible production value too, so much tasty detail in all the effects they put on the track and all the vocal samples they have been layering on top... I bet they spent a lot of time with this track. It's so hard to believe the world just lost Nomi... I would have so loved to see what he was going to do later. :.( So much potential.

Nice video too! Emphasizes the subtle threat of subversive indecent brainwashing the song contains :)

[sneakyrabbits]

wow i forgot how awesome this cover is

[xenomorph190]

You should see my little sis. As in sister. I don't think Chubby Checker Was singing about a skin ailment.

[jrmetmoi]

@xenomorph190 squeeze my cyst anyway please. LOL

[CotileCoyote]

I would strip to this song :)

[rigeuer]

Ewe should zee my leetle cyst.

[jrmetmoi]

@rigeuer Ewe should squeeeeeze my lit-tle cyst

[madiidass1]

why the fuck do i actually like this?

[marcinwolski1976]

@madiidass1 don`t  worry and don`t be afraid: your brain works properly and I am straight,too!

[MrJivePirate]

@madiidass1 Come on human, you know why!

[blackmind1992]

The moment this vid ended I was shocked back to reality and fell out of my chair!

Rofl. XD

Nomi is so wonderfully weird.

[WillShakespeare2007]

I have not heard this since I was about 15 and we used to drop acid and listen to this stuff.

[conkpit]

@WillShakespeare2007 Who needs acid while listening to this song...The sound alone has me trippin' right now and I was very sober before I veiwed this video...

Wowwww...look at the groovy monochromatic colors and how they just dance around allll by themsellllllves...man, this is soooo farrrr out....

[missdfi]

Oooofz I love thiiis!!

[64098]

Does sound a lot like Nina Hagen, this has a good sound.

[tonyk421]

Were was this guy when I was in High School? We would have loved this guy

[DeraJa]

am I the only person who is terrified by everything by this dude....

[khukhem1001]

@DeraJa Maybe yes , You are .... XD 

[BernardProfitendieu]

@DeraJa yes - the rest of us know how UNterrifying Klaus was

p.s. only tools use the word "dude"

[canalfe]

opera cooler than ever!!

[vedraville]

I love sooo much the ending!!!

[Sicvicious]

too slow but I love how free he was through his music and in his age where it was more shunned than it is now, how expressive he was

[BillF1967]

How wonderully weird this is.

[gphx]

I stared at the middle of the visualization for a while then looked at some text on my screen and it was moving.

[EvilSkeptic]

This is just great!

[RandomPenguin922]

Yup. I officially have a new style of music to find out more about (:D) anyone know of any other musicians in his style or is he the only one?

My music taste is getting weirder but that's a good thing, right?

[ngrayshon]

Try Devo, less weird perhaps, but good fun.

[stripedhyenuh]

@RandomPenguin922

Give Nina Hagen some listening to. While I would say Klaus was a complete original and very hard to categorize, the closest artist in style overall would have to be Nina.

[luckyBG]

I have a guilty pleasure listening to this strange clip......... a real twist

[Threetails]

Klaus Nomi: such a magnificently bizarre man in every respect. I think he would have liked this visualization for this song.

[mkoch820]

Insane men with great voice...

[sweenema]

omg i hate the original song... much better!

[elfie218]

great song and great video to go with it. well done.

[revoltinglibrarian]

Holy shit, that was amazing.

[tinaisthier]

He was really strange, even for the 80`s.....

I love his music.

[7h3647h32in6]

He was fittingly strange... just like David Bowie and Queen.

[7h3647h32in6]

And Nomi didn't? That's your opinion, but I feel you wouldn't have that opinion if you had seen his theatrical works.

[XxMonArchyxX]

I'm not saying Klaus didnt have talent, he was just hit and miss with his songs.

[7h3647h32in6]

That's fair enough then. I don't disagree.

[BlandVideo]

I totally agree... He clearly was immensely talented vocally,but his songs were VERY hit and miss.

[XxMonArchyxX]

Finally, somebody that doesnt want to kill me for saying that.

[bl00dyscars]

of course its his opinion does he have to label everything he says as "in my opinion" ?

[7h3647h32in6]

You sound like a child, since you clearly cannot comprehend more difficult concepts such as emphasis.

Try trolling when you're older.

[bl00dyscars]

i see you choose your time to humiliate yourself publicaly

[ChomuEstouTutAgora]

@7h3647h32in6 That's the truest YouTube comment I've ever seen.

[bettysangria]

i like this ^_^

[GameJourney]

This song is strange.

[KOSMICKEN09]

you know it's a radical cover of the chubby checker song....

[mtncanslover]

tripp to the high world music x)

[oweioweh]

Remembers of Nina Hagen...

Love it!

[Hybrid933]

Anyone know where to get this as an MP3 :)?

[Hybrid933]

Nevermind that, found a blogspot with his album!

[fauqTonDal]

This is nearly the most extra-ordinary german artist, and fabulous singer!

I love him!

[VashTheWaterbender]

[PressCornUp]

[shazzfoobed]

Nomi was an Incredible man.

[JOOMTranceHop]

[adamanadam]

[ampenergy327]

this song is sorta devilish.......

[superdresser]

You gotta mean Angelish?

Clearly this is the way we all want to end up in. isn´t it?

[shostakov66]

God I miss Nomi.

[jansmonero]

Por qué te fuiste Nomi!!!???

[DiegoVazquezMiranda]

Se fué, pero no para siempre. Ya va a volver, es cuestión de tiempo.

El mundo no estaba listo para él, eso es todo.

[ILikeCalliopes]

Anyone who creates a music vid

to a Klaus Nomi song or makes a

Klaus Nomi vid today is alright in my

book baby!

[Atreyusmommy]

[christian6657]
