Section 25 have covered The Model. Didn't make it onto the LTM reissues as the permission never came through. Anybody got a copy?

Computer Love...Barney could sing that one well...

4 Mar 2003, 18:46

None of the above (see other thread) but if forced - Radioactivity. :)

I think they did a thing on VH1 not long back picking out videos and they picked The Telephone Call. If that was there, i'd pick it.

Neon Lights, simple but lovely melody.

Autobahn. Complete with the electronic yodelling on the "Mix" version.

I´d like to hear them playing Trans Europe Express.

I would choose "Vom Himmel Hoch",but I don't find it in the list.

Pocket Calculator 'cause "it beats arithmetic."

12 Mar 2003, 10:53

'd like to hear them playing "Trans Europe Express" as well. Or "Showroom Dummies"

why no spacelab

"The Robots" would be a good cover if Hooky could come up with a good bassline for it, or "Spacelab" with some lyrics added.

"Sex Object". Imagine Barney digging out the 82/83 era vocoder for that one.

"I don't want to be....YAAAAWWWW!!....your sex object....*whistle*..."

Simple Minds also covered it and it´s a nice one.

Did you listen to it, Jorge ?

My vote is for my favourite Kraftwerk song - Radioactivity :music:

It's on their covers album, isn't it? I haven't yet, though...

Funny Name - Funny Guy! 'Von Himmel Hoch' is the one that sounds like the air force bombing the shit out of your house isn't it?

I'd vote 'Radioactivity' - as they sampled it for 'Blue Monday' anyway. How about 'Geiger Counter' from the same LP?

yes yes yes yes...no no no no... I agree, but they'd HAVE to play "Sex Object" live. Barney with his bitch-tits doing that simian dance singing "I don't want to be you sex object" would scar for life everyone who saw it. It would be hard to "show some feeling and respect" after seeing that. What would make it even better would be if he through in a little KW1 somewhere: "I don't want to be your sex object...I've had enough, and that's fact--so why don't you piss off!" :laugh:
