Expo 2000 Jingle by Kraftwerk

[Monodi91]

Yeah it's kind of a tragedy, Kraftwerk fan or not I would have loved to check the place.

[IrishRetroGamer]

This is actually the original, not the one with extra lyrics. bit mad they paid about 400,000 DM for it though

[ChrisVanOz79]

@IrishRetroGamer

ja genau. soviel will ich auch mal für nen jingle xD

[PitBullFarmer]

mal ne info dazu diese 30 sekunden haben damals 400000euro gekostet lol oder

[machiner6]

darn, I should've been there!

[Kraftwerkfan2]

deutsch, englisch, französisch, russisch, chinesisch, spanisch,

[machiner6]

I think these 6 languages are of the many countries visited by Kraftwerk.

[spirit666crusher]

They were paid 400.000 DM. But I do not know what this was in USD. It is about 200.000 EUR today. Not that bad!

[NotATube]

Is it true that they made the single version of this because they were embarrassed at being paid large amounts of money for a 3 second jingle? :-)

[Lacrimosa12]

30 seconds actually :p

That is the same as sample.

[braindamagehurts44]

wouldnt you love to hear a kraftwerkian take on the mcdonalds jingle

[Jpntdl]

hahahaha

superbly funny to say... terribly tragic if ever done

cheers!

[Eremita68]

...and why there isn't "expo dva tisíce" ???

[fatalcze]

I don't know..and why isn't in Die Roboter "jsem tvůj sluha, jsem tvůj služebník" or something like that? :|

[KuriJarri]

And why there isn't "Dva dupla, dobosh torta. Mahuna to jedosta". Why? :'(

[fatalcze]

because Karel Čapek wasn't Finnish but Czech. he invented the word "robot" in his drama R.U.R. ;)

[UnwashedMusician]

I dont get it....

[Zekitcha3]

Genial! Kraftwerk always decades ahead of their time!

[Godknown]

The last one is the funniest.

[forpultdrit]

A child with eJay could have made this, although it wouldn't have had the marketing effect.

I guess the only reason they did this is to be able to say 'hey, kraftwerk made our theme sound'

[fatalcze]

omg..

1999: Expo 2000 (Single)

2000 : Expo 2000

2000 : Expo (Orbital Remix)

2000: Expo Remix (Remix maxi-single)

[19861998]

Of course the Expo guys wanted to buy the "Kraftwerk-Image".

And the reality is that the only interesting thing which has remained of this Expo is the Kraftwerk song "Expo 2000"

[Siriaan]

right cos simple always means easy

[Killohertz]

if that child is soo smart, then maybe he can tell us all notes of the chords used?

[joshman94]

ok then make a vid of a kid making this if they can

[wheelbackselector]

Could a child have done it in 1999?

[t0rment2004]

Not to mention making it into a full song and releasing a remix album around it..

[MissyWegner]

Well, 190,000 Dollars for four seconds... at least they were so nive to record it in several languages...
