http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=... & Co. entertain an audience for a German TV show to promote The Model from their 1978 album Man Machine .... Even on this Saturday evening TV show Kraftwerk look cool and The Model still sounds great exactly 30 years later.- - - - - -DAS MODEL DATA - - - - - - "Das Model" (spelling on album: "Das Modell"; English version title: "The Model") is a song recorded by the electro-pop group Kraftwerk in 1978; written by musicians Ralf Hütter and Karl Bartos, with artist Emil Schult collaborating on the lyrics. It is featured on the album, Die Mensch-Maschine (The Man-Machine). It is one of the band's most accessible and melodic songs.First released as a 7" single in Germany (B-side: "Neonlicht"), under its English translation the song was eventually included on the B-side of the "Computer Love" single released in July 1981, which reached #36 in the UK charts. When radio DJs started playing the B-side, EMI re-issued the single in December 1981 apparently against the band's wishes with "The Model" as the A-side. It reached #1 in February 1982 and spent a total of 21 weeks in the top 75 of the UK singles charts. -- - - - KRAFTWERK - DAS MODEL - - - - -Sie ist ein Modell und sie sieht gut ausIch nehme sie heut' gerne mit zu mir nach HausSie wirkt so kuehl, and sie kommt niemand 'ranDoch vor der Kamera da zeigt sie was sie kannSie trinkt im Nachtklub immer Sekt (korrekt)Und hat hier alle Maenner abgechecktIm Scheinwerferlicht ihr junges Laecheln strahltSie sieht gut aus und Schoenheit wird bezahltSie stellt sich zu Schau fuer das KonsumproduktUnd wird von millionen Augen angegucktIhr neues Titelbild ist einfach FabelhaftIch muss sie wiedersehen, ich weiss sie hat's geschaftFor Kraftwerk Anoraks:- - - - - DIRECT GERMAN TRANSLATION - - - - -She's a model and she's looking goodI'd like to take her to my placeShe's working coolly, she won't be touched by anyoneThough, before the camera she shows what she can doIn the night club she's drinking only ChampagneAnd has checked out every manIn the floodlight her young smiles glitterShe's looking good, and beauty will be paidShe exposes herself for consumer productsAnd is being seen by millions of eyesHer new cover is simply gorgeousI must see her again, I know she's made it.Official Kraftwerk site http://www.kraftwerk.com/
