The Penguin Cafe Orchestra-Telephone and Rubber Band

[Duskworker]

What is up with the tags for this video... lmao.

[Thetinpigeons]

If I see that Burberry advert one more fucking time...

[phoebecatgirl]

Though I love my job,I feel like those workers sometimes. Brilliant combo of "Metropolis" and Penguin Orchestra's "Telephone and Rubber Band"!

[BRYankowy]

The Books inspiration right here.

[Tzontonel]

[catluvva8]

Malcolm!! Set in Melbourne ... a wonderful movie indeed!!!

[rainbowXpowerXranger]

The movie Metropolis!!! From like the 1920's!!!! OMG!!

[TheMatafantasmas]

Caloi en su Tinta =$

que tiempos..!!!!!!!

[NICKY752]

I wonder how much the pop group Queen got for this video as they own the rights to this movie ;-}

[ersatzelvis]

You've gotta love 'Metropolis'. Fritz Lang's masterpiece, old school silent film science fiction.

[stgreg399]

Wow, even on a lovely video like this you can't get away form the keyboard warriors :D

[MrDischargeandi]

ahh analogue and a wonderful brain. You can put that 32 bit sampler somewhere the sun does'nt.........

[gymnosophy]

It can't be art when it's sold to a telephone company-for money.

[jimmyhayers]

@gymnosophy Yeah because wanting to make a bit of money from what you do is awful. Also don't you hate it when other people find out about the music you like so you can't be all underground and discerning any more? DAMN YOU popular culture.

[dodgerdannyboy]

@gymnosophy It was made; then the phone company wanted it after hearing it, makes sense to me, would you go to work for nothing ?

[incrediblejessen]

@gymnosophy then no music is art because instruments cost money, promotion costs money, paying band members costs money, touring costs money...

everything requires money, if you haven't realized

[gymnosophy]

@incrediblejessen "Everything requires money" "No it doesn't. How much money did your parents cost?

[incrediblejessen]

@gymnosophy it costs an average of a quarter of a million dollars to raise a child. That's how much it cost my grandmother and grandfather to raise my parents so that they could raise me. That doesn't count all the money my parents themselves spent on food, housing, etc to keep us all alive.

Did you really think that question was clever?

[gymnosophy]

@incrediblejessen Yes, because you "answered" the question in a financial sense. That's how you quantify life! Cheers, I was waiting for an idiot like you you come up with the dollar figure. Your life has been quantified on a calculator in your own head. Now pop out and buy the record like a good consumer.

[akawakanebaneba1]

@gymnosophy we're entitled to our opinions, it just so happens that yours is a dumb one. don't ask ppl to start putting a price on things. they're furthering they're career. do YOU have an album out? do YOU have any songs? can you even sing? if so, i wanna hear it. it doesn't have to kept away from humanity to be called art. if so, then we wouldn't even HAVE art. no one would know about it! now stop trolling the internet.

[gymnosophy]

@akawakanebaneba1 WE WE WE, I missed the memo about you speaking on behalf of "humanity"

Hitler was "furthering" his career; is that justifiable argument for Fascism? Let me save you some time...no it''s not.

Get in line with the robots son. In fact get to the back of that line.

According to you, my Art does not exist unless human eyes or hear sense it. Art is a human construct sonny boy! Don't take up Philosophy there's a good boy.

I sing like a bird. Tweet tweet....hear that?!

[akawakanebaneba1]

@gymnosophy i'm sorry i don't speak web troll. who are you to denounce a piece of work as art or not? you do not have an album, you do not do this as a living. you cannot possibly say how to run the industry. and Hitler was a dictator, it wasn't a career, he was going for world domination. what i love are trolls who bitch and bitch but never give sound reason as to why they're so angry at the videos they comment on. so tell us, why so angry? it's music, get over yourself. no need to be a cunt

[gymnosophy]

@akawakanebaneba1 I could tell you why I dislike it but you wouldn't understand. You would have to read Adorno and all the long words would confuse you and distract you from losing your virginity to your cousin or pop.

[akawakanebaneba1]

@gymnosophy and there are those delicious troll-worthy comments. hun, do u know where i'm from? do you know my past? do you know how much about music i know and how much i read? no, you don't. i study music as well as philosophy. so try again next time you ass wipe. you have not impressed me. you have exhausted your stay here, now begone and let us all forget about your being here. troll some other videos, yoiu have failed here. good luck and fare well *bats eyelashes*

[gymnosophy]

@akawakanebaneba1 when you've lost your virginity (to someone of the opposite sex) and stopped playing with dolls or watching hairdressing clips on youtube, try to think of something intelligible to say. Till then, run along, your pop is calling you.

[akawakanebaneba1]

@gymnosophy oh boy. of course that's the card you pull out. don't know where you got the whole incest idea. we're talking about music and you try to insult my homosexuality and then say i need to comment with something intelligent. yea, it's obvious where this is going. so until you open up your mind and start thinking, this conversation is done.

[Duskworker]

@gymnosophy gymnosophy is the cleverest troll ever devised, don't reply to him. the Hitler was a bit too much pal, you gave yourself up.

[bigpimpdaddy69]

SPACEHOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[trancecyberian]

great! :)

[DjTake1One]

@Failingexposed Why, thank you.

[wincera]

Great music, used in the classic Australian 1980s film 'Malcolm'.. Also used for the end credits in the Oliver Stone film 'Talk Radio'..

[FourManArmyHD]

This music always makes me sad for some reason

[TheWendyhannah]

Brilliant!

[thatblondguy33]

What's the dialogue at the very end?

[the13thmintcar]

Genius.

[mayolas22]

A very good mixing Penguin and Fritz Lang ¡¡¡

[penguinorchestra]

que hermosura

[DarkquestDeathhunter]

Talk Radio!

[GanEdenAustralia]

This was used in a BT ad.

[CoNFeDj]

@djconfe =)

[ealingbroadway2000]

This was used in the Great Australian robbery Malcolm

[Rhoddersproductions]

anyone seen the film talk radio? This piece of music is used very effectively during the end credits

[bboooobbyy]

@Rhoddersproductions just saw it a couple weeks ago, i agree that the song really set the mood at the end.

[zatch145]

This reminds me of anything that happens in the 1940s and especially the Lord of the Flies, great book^^

[mikecharles42]

Very Brave-New-Worldish if you ask me.



[MrGustavito1977]

ESTO ES DE LA PELI METROPOLIS

[EvangeMani]

Did anyone get the video? I really an explanation. ^_^ a kind one

[kw19193]

I think the rubber band's a touch out of tune . . .

[MOUSEMIXTURE]

I loved this.

[mishabruml]

the original tc-wheres my money!

[Wankshaftsbury]

I love this so much I almost perspired.

This is my kind of band. Srange, original, creative... I love it.

(Film: Malcolm)

[Wankshaftsbury]

I love this so much I almost perspired.

[ezayj]

perfect match with metropolis (:

[TheGreenParakeet12]

Jack sent me.

[superbobbrill]

[technobev]

spachog have completely ripped this off!!! listen to in the meantime, they should get done for plagerism...

[jnb987]

@technobev yeah, that's called sampling...

[HotTequilaBr0wn]

@technobev So I listened and I'm back to report that you my friend are a spamming moron in need of a life. Peace, and out.

[ladyofnewroses]

Tyler boy, I'll have whatever your smoking

[WankstaProductions]

Metropolis!!!

[alfred024]

German Workes in German Concentraions Camps a la MERKEL!!

[humdrummer]

@BadgerMK8

Actually, if one were to be pedantic, there were germans held in nazi concentration camps as prisoners. Socialists, homosexuals and any opposed to nazi rule.

And, as I am sure you are aware, Judaism is a religion, not a nationality, so a lot of the Jews held were German citizens.

[KAFLMT114]

Brillant....

[calmit70]

fooookin awesome

[selicleto]

TALK RADIO 1988.....

[parksy010101]

Kraftwerk appeal again?

[VatoVavoandVanzo]

Caloi en su Tinta ft Metrópolis... éso sí q es un gran dueto!!!!!

[icekat83]

This was the theme song for an Australian movie called Malcolm. I LOVE this song and it worked so well for the movie. :)

[deadfrogcult]

Oh mein Gott. Das Stück ziert den Schluß des Films "Talk Radio" und ich habe 20 (!) Jahre vergeblich danach gesucht. Bis heute. DANKE YOUTUBE!

[BigLaurs]

I love the simplicity of the sound! It is so evocative.

[originalbot]

this is scaring

[djconfe]

metropolis???

[sociallaicos]

Fritz Lang

[djsosad]

Caloi en su tinta... que buenos tiempos aquellos

[isobel001]

[Amatteratsu]

@DNWisH Claro Amigo.... que hermosos recuerdos!!

Caloi en Su Tinta =D!!

[brianfairhurst007]

1986 film.Malcolm. this music is from the bank robbery scene

[Barsopen1970]

And what a wierd arse movie that was, honestly we could'nt make a movie 99% of the time to save ourselves , must be the same writers and directors for the last 30 years or something ?

[magicsparkleviolin]

Is it just me or do the strings always play a little bit out of tune? Or is it the quality of the recordings in those days?

[catalistic]

it might have something to do with the telephone tone, which is not perfectly in tune, plus the rubber band bowing is not right in tune either. Cool track!!

[Dillman1]

@magicsparkleviolin

Its called Dissonance.. most likely they meant it.. it gives it a unique sound. :)

[xxxKINGFROGxxx]

I'm sure this is a good song, but i know it from the adverts a few years ago for a mobile company or BT, anyway, its really annoying cause of this!

[afuzzyduck]

Yeah, it was one2one. I remember those

[autobotgal]

This was the first song i put on my mp3 player 5 years ago . its still an epic song

[declanstark]

Does anyone else think David Bridie and My Friend the Chocolate Cake were influenced by Penguin Cafe Orchestra?

[TheHzhzhz]

great video! nice band! :)

[yeahsee33]

Great video.

[gerretl]

saw them live with Simon Jeffes son at the Union Chapel. Awesome.

[Retrovidz]

Great song, the first time I heard this was on the Austrailian film "Malcolm"

[stumacgregor]

I love this track its the first piece I heard them play some time in the mid eighties, I only watched Metropolis for the first time 3 weeks ago and thought it was an excellent film, way ahead of its time, fitting both should go together.

[patlaws]

Well done jivevidz! The vid captures the sinister dread those simple repetitions give me when I hear this piece.

[Dougaledable]

Sinister dread? This is beautiful!

[timwithw00tontop]

I dunno, I kind of agree with patlaws.

[ruslk]

David Lynch influence?

[nescius2]

Fritz Lang - Metropolis (1927)

[logosfails]

Yes, metropolis surely influenced david lynch.

[ruslk]

I agree!! Great music!

[DaxusDragon]

[00pishwish00]

[Natashadoingit]

[MusicRocker182]

Lol yehhh ! :L

[jerninastos]

[OrnelasPagano]

Metropolis (1927)

Director: Fritz Lang

Science Fiction

Germany

[eliottelescorielese]

I saw that movie 12 years ago, kinda, when I was 6 or 7... It scared me...

[Molto47]

Erster Live-Auftritt in Deutschland bei Bios Bahnhof vor 20 (?) Jahren

[alfred024]

Это рабочие Федеративной Республики Германии

Das sind die Arbeiter der Bundesrepublik Deutschland

These are the workers of the Federal Republic of Germany

Ce sont les ouvriers de la République fédérale d'Allemagne

Son los obreros de la República Federal de Alemania

[kjcaine]

Just what I expect from pco - great thinking music without the need for lyrics. Comparable, for me, is Toronto's "The Henrys" - avante garde with old school instruments with some Mary Margaret OHara thrown in...

[Gryllefjord58]

reminds me of work

[crayzeehorse]

Watch the film "Malcolm" by Nadia Tass - an Australian movie made in 1986 - some of the best scenes have this soundtrack. It's an amazing film.

[tigersan22]

Brilliant film... so funny

[Overchecking]

that is really annoying and stupid if you ask me.

[Oissormas]

well NO ONE asked you!!!

[reznor79]

Yup was sampled in Ïn the Meantime" which was one of Spacehog's only good songs (they had one other good one called space is the place) and was also in the aussie film "Malcolm"which was ace.

[martyshire]

I had never heard this track until a couple of days ago. I'm sure Spacehog sampled it in their song 'In the Meantime' from around 1994.

Always been a big fan of the spacehog song. Hearing this track, for me, has taken something away from spacehog now

[nondaroversgod]

@martyshire thats makes alot of sense you fucking dimlo!

[thenightprowleracdc]

Caloi En Su Tinta

[FishFairy32]

they came to play in our school the new one

[Greenstonetiki]

Your a winner you know that?

[puffinman]

Nicely done

[zedrein18]

This song makes me feel like a june bug trapped in molasses.

[moonoversanjuan]

P.C.O and Metropolis.

Fantastic.

Fritz lang.

[sortashaman]

Great video for this song! It was also part of the soundtrack for the Australian film "Malcom"...

[318SIDAVE]

Man i love that movie.....

1 of my all time favourites.

[blackflagqwerty]

Me too!

[Pullisto]

Oh yes indeed, I've just watched the DVD, hadn't seen it since it came out in 87, a true blue cult classic. Nice to see those good ole Holdens etc as cop cars, taxis again. Those were the days eh. Good to have finally found the title of this quirky track, with the amusing image of moving ashbins ever present, indelibly linked.

[steve5242]

Best bit was the 'parting' of the Honda!

[kaiyam1]

does anyone know where i can find a recording of Scherzo and Trio?

[dissent88]

lol, this is at the end of "Talk Radio"!

[luccyjane]

it also ends the movie "Talk Radio"

so good

[DJaBookByItsCover]

Been Lookin' 4 This For 4 Yrs. Haunting Yet Addictive. Key!

[alestefi7]

que genial suena i love this song

[PepedeAndujar]

I like this group very much!!!!

¡Temazo!!!

[sheilaskelly]

thanks for replying

[sheilaskelly]

does anyone know when simon jeffes passed away

he is sadly missed r.i.p....

[poacher007]

Simon passed away 11 December 1997 after a long battle with cancer. As you say, he is sadly missed A rare talent. R.I.P.

[scottygk88]

I knew I recognized that tune! Spacehog did a song called "In the Meantime" that uses the same phone note riff. Haha.

[EarlGreyIII]

the song was in fact used as the soundtrack of a low budget film called 'Meantime', hmmmm

[RegalBankie]

Absolutely fantastic - being trying to identify this tune for years after it featured in a 1990's mobile phone advert.

[darksouldealer]

this is pco? holy shite i thought it was mum from iceland...nice either way

[tim4oneris]

How extraordinary!

[rdnaylor]

Sums up the American Economy "going backwards"

Love this song though Thanks for posting it

[markymole1]

Absolutely brilliant; if any film sequence could compliment this music then a reverse movement of Fritz Lang's Metropolis is the best!

[EarlGreyIII]

fits so nicely doesn't it, weel done

[Tarvu]

The good old days...

[ClivePounds]

Brilliant!
