@aaandreas idk it just sounds stange... like he's one of those creepy cartoon clowns in the drug dreams whwere the clown gets really big and tries to eat you
@MasterJedi96 Your comment is based on the same logic as everyone who summons images of the satanic every time they hear Gregorian Chant... because Hollywood has made those associations for you. If you can't get over that it's a shame, because it's just a form of popular singing from the first half of the last century. But we've been told anything that is more than 50 years old is innately creepy.
Love it! Could almost be from the late 1920's / early 1930's. Conjures up images of flapper dancers doing a routine to this complete with cleopatra-style hair cuts, glitzy dresses with dropped waist-lines, and feather boas abound! :)
@MegaBenino remember when these comments were original and people actually cared?, im sorry but u can have these at the top of every video but companies making this much money from advertising rights aint going stop because of a few 'liked' comments
@MegaBenino Do you want to pey 5-15$ by months to listen to your musics and watch your videos ? VEVO and the advertisements are there to pay youtube, so that the music is still free for us. now just ponder before saying idiocies ^^ ;)
Thirty years ago, when I was a senior in High School, I would have mocked this Gentleman and His Music. HOWEVER, the beauty of aging allows us all to GROW UP, to sit back, listen, laugh and enjoy! Some friends and I are planning a road trip, and I think the first 100 miles will be dedicated to Max Raabe's Palast Orchester. How about the first 200 miles??! You'll hear us first...as we come through your town! SPIELEN DAS MUSIK!! MAX RAABE und PALAST ORCHESTER!
I had the pleasure of seeing him on PBS (channel 13 in NY) and he did more nostalgic songs but this and Let's talk about Sex Incredible I love him and Kraftwerk wunnderbar!!!! now I must listen to Viagra(lol) and I honestly think Cheek to cheek is my favorite!!!
I was a huge fan of this song in high school in the '80s, but this far surpasses Soft Cell's original--at least for the adult me. I love the way he says "baby."
hätten sie sich nicht so verkrampft an die "soft cell"-version geklammert sonder gloria jones auf 30'er getrimmt wär das lied mit diesem orchester und diesem sänger wahnsinn geworden...leider
The articulation of Max Raabe singing in English shames most American singers by his better English elocution or pronunciation, which is appropriate in his tuxedo, refined style, subtle humor, whimsical charm, epitomizing the last Epoch of Art in our Culture, the 1920s-30s Art Deco period he revivifies here, after decades of excess of rock-headed roll out of show-offs' neurotic noise. Delightfully refreshing is Max Raabe and his truly entertaining, refined, amusing, Palast orchester of Berlin.
Das ist einfach genial. Ob er das auch bei der Hochzeit von Marylin Manson gesungen hat? Ich kann es mir nicht oft genug ansehen. Geniales Arrangement dazu die Stimme von Max; wunderbar
