Klaus NOMI - The Twist

[immeroffen]

ein musik gott

ihr solltet euch verbeugen

[Acronymius]

For God's sake, take it off. This Satan spawn will kill us all. It's in my BRAIN!!!

[lijaa11]

this is excellent

[madincx2]

WOW you did some nice work on this video

[Hawkes10112]

Have to say that at first i hated this song, far to slow... but after hearing it a few times i believe i am liking it.

Very original sounding.

[sparksalexo]

i feel sorry for you..you ignorant..

[jeffrey9876543211111]

ive been watching and listening to klaus nomi for the past couple of days (my friend sent me a video)

my personal opinion is this guy has a good voice but is fuckin weird nightmare shit lol not my type of music, he should have done some italian opera

[lovethosegreens]

love this guy ever since i heard one of his songs i grew of fear of losing my saprano. i still have it and i'm in my teen yrs.!!!

[OfficialMC2]

Damn it, I was gonna favorite this. Fucking Youtube favorite limits.

A damn shame that Klaus had to die but we still have talentless piece of shit screamo bands around.

I just found out about the guy this month, and I'm already a fan.

[ArchetypeZero]

i just found out about this guy today. i can't figure out how i never heard his music until now. i love stuff like the Doors, Manson, Mr bungle, and so on...and lots of heavy metal...so how i missed this is beyond me.

i just love how haunting and spooky it is, and his image really adds a "twist" to his music too.

[OfficialMC2]

Chubby Checker, you just got owned.

I love this song. It's just so awesome in so many ways.

Oh yeah, and the video. His voice is just so GAWDLY.

[petercrowley41]

Excellent interpretation of Hank Ballard's THE TWIST. (Chubby Checker did the cover version)

[zee339]

this is a well made video though, praise for its creators

[Alphonsus0di0Ligouri]

Uber-creepy. God I love it!

[spookygothu]

There is one more version of this song wich is my fav and the lyrics on the second version are different >;0)

[7Row7enn7]

Come on humans, let's do the twist!

[Godzilla1985]

Schprockets!

[normloman]

excellent video!!!!

[xslayersx]

Klaus Nomi is God!

[meerkatvaginagoddess]

where can i get this song and other nomi songs? my ipod is hungry for some nomi.

[blondie1159]

I got a cd of his from ebay, you can allways check out there;-)

[metzgerbier]

what? smoking crack is illegal!!!

[philipchek]

très belle vidéo sur cette belle chanson.

[ofdrywit]

nomi was the second coming of jeebus chrispe. hiv is the real antichrist. and the prophet muhammed (peace be upon him). that's it! the prophet muhammed gave klaus nomi aids so that we might all live in peril, for what is a world without nomi when it had once

[XMrStayPuftX]

Haunting, but damn if it isn't an innovative cover.

[sk1ll3rscape]

"Lol. Great parody of "The twist". For me this is musical comedy."

[Quoted by gonrolgonrol]

Lol idiot.... this is not a parody...

[gonrolgonrol]

You should be careful to talk about things you do not know. This is a parody of Chubby Checker-The twist. A song originally from the 60'.

[murezor]

its a cover, not a parody. lrn2terminology.

[gonrolgonrol]

Ah yes you are right, it is in fact a Cover. Still I find it hard to think that it was not the intention of mr. Nomi to make the cover in a comical way (which it is for me) hence being what may be referred to as a parody of the original.

[petercrowley41]

Chubby Checker did a straight cover version of Hank Ballard's 'The Twist'. Klaus did an interpretation.

[jcd6960]

What an amazing artist. WE miss you NOMI.

xoxoxoxoxo

[1amjapan]

Stunning.  That was cool.

[4nonymous01]

i love how someone named Burzum2 is posting this lol. awesome song tho.

[RiverHockey]

some songs just have no business being sung in opera. ill take the doo wop version anyday.

[Tenetri]

i got shot in the paintball in the back of the head last nite, and that was just about as awesome as this

[Thiago1950]

the first record I bought... "Twist" by Chubby Checker, a single. I bought it in a little town at the south of Brazil that's to say very near the end of the world.

[hackallgames]

FRICKING CRRRREEEEEEEPPPYYYY!!!!!! but good...

[realpirate]

Some video - well done !!!

and I agree, by far the better, weirder version...sample that with a bit of early Anne Clark - it's uneartly :-)

Klaus, you are immortal

[kovalabc]

1:17 there`s a swear word in polish `pierdoli` xD that means to f*uck smthng ;p

[poperuku]

The line you're mishearing is "We're going twist until we tear the house down."

But I can see how you could make that mistake. I can almost hear it there too.

[80slover1986]

Yeah, by Chubby Checker I think.

[Andrewsaxamophone]

oh, i'll have to look that up. Thanks!

[80slover1986]

Wow, this is SO much better than the original!!!

[PerfectGlitch]

This is like some weird shit out of a Wario Ware game. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[DrDoc420]

indeed, there's something RIGHT with that.

[Koax123]

Oh man, i love his music and this man, because he`s so sexy.

[dreadOFdread]

love nomi but i have never thought of him as sexy :) i hadn't heard this before - very impressed. like it a lot.

[daniela2twin]

I listen to every music he sings since I was 8 years old. I still does! I wish Klaus alive to make more unforgettable music and his voice! His music will lives forever!!

[quetzalift]

I prefer his version too!

What an Artist!*

* yes, with a capital A

[Cosoasalo]

Some understood what he was at the very 1st moment,

Some 2-3 years go

Some 10-20 years ago

Some will never....i pitty them

[teddyjoebrian1]

and just who the fuck wonders why a man who died and was then cremated in 1983, has not been shot yet??.... have some respect for those who had more talent in thier toenail clippings than you will ever have in you entire waste of a life

[ilvadel]

there was never a video made for this song

[steliosicedearth]

ενας και ανεπαναλυπτος!!!! respect!!!

[Mimritsya]

Perfect song, but, from my point of view, video could be better.

[pontikeli]

μαλλον το βαλσαμο την Πληγη..

[TTELEMACHOS]

JUST GENIUS

[TTELEMACHOS]

ΗΘΟΣ ΑΝΘΡΩΠΩ ΔΑΙΜΩΝ

[patrickofbruges]

Nice of you to quote Heraclitus here

[NikkiClo]

Wow, it's amazing how he changed this song..I prefer this version!

[perfidoincanto]

a genius a big international artist

[shortyblackwell]

Very funky and differnt. I put this onmy mp3 player.

[nominette]

Définitivement génial !

[6The6Berzeker6]

for me, was like the father of sopor aeternus...

diferent styles, same pasion

klaus really was a genius...

rod

[tofusauce]

wow so psychedelic, again an amazing voice

[stevennomi]

gracias por el video

[suzanhelene]

La culture lyrique allemande a donné des génies déjantés: Klaus Nomi, Nina Hagen; même Rammstein mélange art lyrique et métal.

[TheMouthOfTheBeast]

oh my god.... i love this! creative cover (much funny than the original version for me)!

[ElveeKaye]

This is a very weird rendition of a classic song, and the video does it justice. I think Klaus would approve. :o)

[raymisra]

I love it! Klaus was an insane evil genius, no question about that. (And before anyone flames me for saying so, I mean that in a GOOD way.) I know he would approve of this tribute! The only fault I see in it is that it would have been better if you had excised the last minute-and-a-quarter or so, the silent part.

[earthboyx]

I love everything from Klaus. I can not get enough of this other-worldly transplant. You can see his influence on artists from that time and today. Genius!!

[dearmalika]

wenn ich ihn hoere muss ich unwillkuerlich an nina hagen denken.

[OptimusPrimus001]

nicely made!!!!

[0marylene]

Merci pour cette vidéo pleine de folie !

[cakebythelake]

Love it!  Creative and nicely edited.
