Holger Czukay "Ode to Perfume"

Holger Czukay "Ode to Perfume"

[@KingfisherLtd]

Best Nivea commercial ever

[@user-gr7vd1hm1q]

Pure GENIUS. How I miss Holger Czukay.

[@Mr.Bassman]

Have always been a fan of Can, now im a fan of the man behind the can. A very uniquely funky man.

[@lilithpayne9229]

RIP, Holger Czukay. Thanks for the music and the trips

[@lumpyfishgravy]

I had no idea there was a video for this when I was a kid in the 80s with my Walkman on the bus. I scored a tape copy from the coolest kid in the year. At least in retrospect he was the coolest. I have no idea if he's even alive anymore.

[@cunobelinusX31]

I just read your comment, it's so funny, the coolest guy in my school turned me on to CAN, Amon Duul, Neu. I'm 64 now and still love this music. Very few people realise how this music influenced the early rave scene. If you read this take care man and keep listening to the tunes.

[@darrenwalker3342]

Mannn what was y'all on in the 80s

[@markkumanninen6524]

I bought the album back in the day. This of course was one my favourites. Love the rhythm section.

[@poesboes]

One of my favorite tracks of all time. Tears welling in my eyes listening to this! ;) Poesboes

[@schlomovandyke7495]

I am all yours. What a fantastic piece of music! Like a very warm magic that takes away all fear in the dark...

[@tonyfleck3029]

Remember People if it's in a Can it lasts indefinitely!!!! Deutsche Electronic!!!! Still F*cking Wow!!!

[@derekdean7580]

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you Holger, and thanks Karmike2 for posting this.

[@daveydudely9954]

i had the vinyl in the 80s and most of Can of course, and my favorite Movies

[@LowFidelityFilms]

Played it so many times ovr the years, i just love it! ...from the lp "on the way to the peak of normal", if anybody should be interested...

[@przhkv]

Crazy shit, good-for-humanity shit.

[@MANDRILLBLUES]

so great, slimy, outrageous synth

[@andypitchless]

As good, if not better than most drugs.

[@natedawebbfoot1]

[@skepticalsinik2412]

Also... splendid while ON drugs. Best of both world, as it were. 🌮 tacos

[@NormAppleton]

WHY NOT BOTH?

[@SabertoothNinja]

[@atomiste4312]

100% Czukay

[@willwelch2651]

Fab short version. Shaped my musical life and opened me up to a world of wonders. Bravo my friend!

[@hankm]

Holy shit, my all-time favourite song finally on KZbin! Thanks a million! Although, I guess they never made a video for the whole song, which is 3-4 times longer than this?

[@furrystep]

great guitar for a self-taught amateur... heh.. he's a freakin genius, this Holger, he is!

[@karlselm726]

this is a dank groove

[@saltywater004]

When you see a security camera in the store

[@rememberwhite]

Incredible exhibition of genius ... man I need some Can

[@gazzacroy]

[@niclaslbng]

[@cwwaldo717]

Holger reminds me of Jean Pierre Léaud here!

[@rafaelfernandeslopesdeoliv1700]

They really do look alike.

[@L2K4D44L4R]

I find this pretty good. Creepy, ironic and fun. Excellent playback sync. Nivea! You probably have to have been a kid in Germany to get this. I exactly remember the smell, texture and, ahem, taste when I watch him. Come on, you tried it too, didn't you?

[@ricadus]

Nivea suncream is the aroma of summer.

[@rememberwhite]

It's like drugs ... without the drugs!!!

[@NormAppleton]

Better with drugs

[@1056clement]

Simply great !

[@alanoneill3065]

...though you heart is breaking?

[@sassymolasey]

love it

[@diskochimp]

Brilliant!

[@gazzacroy]

wow brill :)

[@ShawnBarnesbass]

It sounds like he's using the same vocoder that Tommy Mars used with Zappa in the late seventies and early eighties (i.e. the Korg VC-10)

[@purba999]

great music

[@ianpreston6504]

The song playing in the women’s refuge in Ep 5 of Rain Dogs

[@meirtu22]

RIP Holger

[@timhawthorn7903]

beautiful

[@MilanVasiljevicBGD]

On The Way To The Peak Of Normal !!!

[@gazzacroy]

back again :)

[@sandipchaudhary4038]

amazing

[@ruslanmoonirov7369]

RIP Holger...

[@Phrogex1]

Charlie Chaplin composed an orchestral melody that sounds very similar to this. How interesting. I wonder if there's a connection. KZbin won't let me send the link, but look up the last scene on Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times and listen to the theme music about 20 seconds in.

[@DieGroteske]

Ha, I was thinking the exact same thing. The song is called "Smile", and was later a recording hit for singers like Nat King Cole.

[@curaimbow]

mitico Holger Czukay !!!

[@usernametaken1983]

Funny, it's my Sunday morning routine...

[@alexxx19071]

Grande omaggio a Totò " Malafemmena"

[@sonny2351]

[@hansrobl7605]

Holger ist ein sehr guter Musiker Ob ich ein Fan bin? Das würde ich nicht so sagen, aber ich höre ihm sehr gerne zu hans robl

[@davemz999]

Talk about "ready for the 80s".

[@enihpesojsrepiuk]

prettay groovy

[@flanintheface]

Muy bueno

[@lazyslip]

hey but that's an enough snip of the piece! i never would know the cymbal was just next to the keys tapped by czukay's own hand, youtube rules, cheers lazyslip from hong kong.

[@Brock2097]

What if he made the processed organ sounds with his mouth and the cymbal hits with his hand

[@WF203]

RIP :(

[@alanoneill3065]

what IS he alluding to... eh? Aye!

[@phunkaizer]

fragrance it is

[@diskochimp]

A brilliant lunatic.

[@Souplesse000]

Strangers in the night?

[@cosmicdrifter287]

indeed!

[@deliaracheru3842]

No... More like' Smile' by Charlie Chaplin

[@oraetblavora2375]

yup. even tho its ''ivo robić-stranci u noći'' but sinatra stole it from him. you know, being a gangster and all that

[@flooberbloob]

codyki, if "half-ass dracula" is all you can glean from Holger's vid, you don't dig too deep , do ya? but that's no reflection on you (in Holger's mirror, that is.. ) The Great Holger!!!

[@hankm]

Weelll, my original LP does not extract any "Fragrance" from "Ode To Perfume" (which covers the whole side A), so...

[@kaglyn]

@mescaleros666 the FOOOOOOOOOOOOLS

[@kaitlinerin2252]

[@thomascassidy2724]

always made me think of 'strangers in the night'

[@jamesg7037]

Holgar, ye merry prankster! Trolling your very own song, and putting those old avant garde film art stuff. We get it, and we appreciate your brilliant and ironic self. :]

[@informamoto]

@anabasi63 ja, ein Lied von Totò.

[@jimmypsychonaut9530]

:-)

[@ChauliceKetridge]

what exact version is this? What release is it from?

[@mckayefc]

Is this from a DVD?

[@hansmoser989]

straight, old german avantgarde it seems or sounds like. h.m.

[@michaelpdawson]

If Albert Einstein had forgotten all that physics nonsense and become a composer.

[@maaya111mk]

kitty

[@jarijukkaharri]

@ardentepatience

[@paintedsage]
