I know some people are a little snobby about later Can compared to the earlier stuff, but this is great. Truly surreal that a band like this were on TOTP. It's like the Velvet Underground turning up on Ed Sullivan. I Know it's now become a cliche, but Can's influence on alternative music post 1977 is overwhelming.

Nice of Lou Reed to fill on on guitar

Yeah, it's Doug Yule.

What ... funk and disco are off limits for an experimental band? Fat chance.

[MonsieurMosca]

I can picture David Byrne taking notes while watching this.

Irmin Schmidt just looks like the coolest pervert I´ve ever seen.

[NormanArches]

Fucking cool, innit? What a cool hook.

I remember Thin White Rope used to do Yoo Doo Right. I´m off to find that now,

And what the fuck is Hary Potter Fame Girl Emma Watson doing in the audience? That paedophile who stuck her head on babies´bodies will be pissed off if he knows she is over 50.

cont. So if for u this is Disco or a contemporary of Salsoul Records (and it's not totally unfounded) for me is what started happening in New York by the likes of Ze records or in Manchester by Factory records a year or two later, Post-Punk - Punk-Funk. So it's probably as landmarking as Tago Mago and yes Tago Mago is also my favourite album from them.

I love how the prog or post-rock fans of Krautrock and Can hate this track as they label as an inferior discoish work.I as a melomaniac IMAO can see a bit beyond that.For me Krautrock (and kosmische musik for that matter) helped set the pace for a number of genres from New Age to Post Rock passing through Ambient,Prog, Shoegaze, Indie, Noise, Punk Funk/ Post Punk/Mutant Disco, Synth-Pop, Electronica and EDM. So if u see it as disco bulshit I see as a predecessor of Post-Punk at the peak of Punk
