My high school plays music over the intercom during the 5 minutes between classes, and they played this today. Pretty shocking to hear this song in a place that's full of thousands of fans of modern pop.
Kraftwerk is fucking genius. Sure the lyrics are basic. But fire up your NES or GBC emulator and listen to this song, or even the robots or anything else by kraftwerk and you can enjoy hours of gameplay with these simple songs. 8-bit song, so amazing <3
@itsyouonlyou Oh really? That would have been such a laugh to see, I wish my maths teachers in high school had done that, I was in high school in the late 90's early 2000's, and I didn't even know about this song until 2003 or thereabouts. I love Kraftwerk, this song always brings a smile to my face.
@alexou331 watch your mouth and grow up. I like old technology anc can make fun of it and still enjoy it and be a Kraftwork fan If I want to, and theres nothing you can do to stop me.
*Im the operator with my pocket calculator*.....Whats the betting Ralf says the opening lyrics to his missus in bed..........:-D.......*To which she replys..*Oh Ralf just go to sleep before I stick my size 10 jackboot up your schnitzel...........Love kraftwerk..........
@Ograws I kinda relieved when I heard the news of his death, then it turned out to be fake. I won't wish death towards a person, but his music is just one of the worst thing that ever happened.
...then God created Kraftwerk and said: "Your purpose is to amuse and entertain only those people who see the real value of your music. That kind of people may not be many, but those people deserve to listen you." :-)
Certainly ahead of their time. Kraftwerk was a little too wierd for most people when they first arrived on the scene, as was Gary Numan and Iggy Pop but now you hear his music in all kinds of ads, like for Carnival Cruise lines, I gotta lust for life!
@1612199413 : A documentary I saw said that they had to keep re-recording the early tracks because technology was moving so fast. As an example, look at the old solid state crap they used on this early version of Autobahn:

This band definitely ushered in the British 80's era.
