I believe I heard this song somewhere, before discovering Klaus Nomi. It sounds rather familiar. (the music) But I have no idea where I could have heard this. Apparently it wasn't a hit single. So I don't know how I heard about it, unless it was featured sometime in a commercial or something.
'Simple Man' showed Klaus expanding his style from his first album, I reckon he'd have gone onto greater things if he was still around =/. RIP Klaus Nomi.
I have the greatest amount of respect for this alien. Still, if you showed one five-year old this video, and another 5yr old, the movie "saw", this video would be more disturbing. All little kids, when told about the horrors of history, figure "yeah, i kinda figured that would happen." But Klaus is one of those guys that kids think is going to steal their soul. Klaus probably seems alien to his alien compodrays, and when you get that weird: people suspect soul stealing intentions.
@terdanben Where's the contradiction? I'm straight & I kiss boys & girls (usually, those that are very close). Why should gays act differently?
You can be straight & be very close to ppl of the same sex, and you can be gay & be very close to ppl of the opposite sex. They can actually be your best friends. We're not talking about sexual attraction here.
Everyone who sees this video, please watch the Nomi Song. It's a documentary about the rise and fall of this amazing man. It's actually quite depressing that this is not the sort of thing he wanted to do with his talents, but instead got roped in with a bad marketing ploy by a record company to put a "funk band fronted by an opera singing man". After watching that, I can barely listen to his music =( Just so sad.
@BeatsFlows PENIS IN YOUR ASS BECAUSE WITHOUT REASON YOU SPEAK. OPINION OF MINE YOU SHALL HAVE IN REFERENCE TO CURRENT SUBJECT. TESTES SHALL BE PLACED INTO YOUR MOUTH FOR YOU ARE A FEMALE DOG.
I don't understand... I started by thinking it was crap.. a minute later, I was bopping along with it... than I was singing it... Now it's days later, and it won't leave my head! Thanks Klaus, for ruining what I thought I knew about music
@pigmeat40 Dude, I know exactly what you mean the first time I accidently stummbled upon him I thought it was just a kind of 'so bad it's good ' kinda thing then before long (when I also noticed I couldnt get his music out of my head) I realized just how much I legitimately loved it !!!
Anyway i don't understand why people are allowed to make comments on youtube when the majority of time it's to insult others and being not constructive and destructive...Klaus Nomi would be sad to see that on one of his video...R.I.P.
But seriously, this guy is excellent, one of the greatest pop singer of the 80 's, the 80 's were so great with Godley & Creme, Yello, The Residents and artists like that !
@reaperxnarutoz66 you're right. You are the God of music..sorry...everything you say is right...wow !!! how do yo do to be so good ??? wow !!! I think i'm so impressed by your comment, i'll subscribe right now to your channel, i'm sure you really know, what music is about... wow again !!!!
@reaperxnarutoz66 wow !!! man you're so kool !!! insulting people on youtube woooooowww !!! that isnt an easy task to do...it takes balls to sit in front of your computer in your mom's basement with a fake name and insult people woowww !!! you must be so powerful....king of the world woooowww !!!! and your vocabulary is so sophisticated.......man i tell you...you're so koool.....WOW AGAIN !!!
@reaperxnarutoz66 I think it is pointless for you to make comments and i've read your comments on other videos...what's wrong with you ?, you insult people all the time...you said to a girl on a vid that she was fat and ugly...im sure you're uglier than everyone else...at least inside your soul....you must be a very sad person to waste your time to insult others on youtube, stay in your mom's basement for the rest of your life...hide behind your computer under a fake name you coward !!!!
@reaperxnarutoz66 Perhaps to you, Dubstep and Hardstyle is music, to others they're nothing but untalented crap. Klaus Nomi should not be down rated by your fragile words and on your poor choice. Your whole speech/point has been shattered. Congratulations.
