[@alancoombes7677]

40 years this song still gives me goose bumps amazing song

[@digitalrobotics914]

Just a Genius work of art! But yet so simplistic! Sounds all in right places.

Omfg these guys are amazing how have I gone 40 years or so without hearing them

American promoters and radio would not book, play, or promote them because they’re from Germany. now they sell out entire world tours.

There Were 6 Samples in the song: Fergalicious’ by Fergie (feat. Will.I.Am) (2006) --------------------------- 1. ‘Supersonic’ - J.J Fad (1987) - (Which is the main melody of how the song flows through each verse and chorus.) ---------------------------- 2. ‘Give It All You Got (Doggy Style)’ - Afro-Rican’ (1987) - (Which are the vocals saying the lines: ‘Four, Tres, Two, Uno’ in the beginning & towards the end of the song.) (Also, the sound effects of the silverware clicking on glasses are sampled from this track too) ---------------------------- 3. ‘Night Train’ - James Brown (1962) - (Which is the bass guitar riff used during the bridge of the song.) --------------------------- 4. ‘The Rat Patrol Theme Song’ - Dominic Frontiere (1966) (Which is the violin 🎻 sound/riff used each chorus) -------------------------- 5. ‘It’s More Fun To Compute’ - Kraftwerk (1981) - (Which is the electronic keyboard sound used each time Will.I.Am does his spelling/freestyle saying the lines: (‘T to the A to the S T Y, girl, you tasty, T to the A to the S T E Y, girl, you tasty’) (‘D to the E to the L I C I O U S; D to the E to the’) ---------------------------- 6. ‘I’m A Greedy Man’ - James Brown (1972) (This one is a little hard to catch, but it is the vocal sample saying: ‘Pick up on this!’ right after the Kaftwerk sample comes into play.) ----------------------------

@Trump_won2020 Kraftwerk led to kids digging through the crates(turntable catalogue,mixers,speakers etc,,.) All "70s " albums have hidden gems of profound beats,kraftwerk led to a further evolution of Hip Hop .

[@luisbarreiros8628]

incrível como usavam os primeiros sintetizadores. Esses caras avançaram mais de cem anos na frente de sua época. A musica ouvida hoje ainda é totalmente atual.

[@michaelkrestan5483]

This version sounds much better than the 2009 remixed version..

[@pankaburek59]

Yes the start is more creepy and ehh Robotic voice sound better here

[@IrobocompI]

Can someone help me reproduce the high pitched screamin lead at the beginning of the track... maybe the Arp odyssey is involved... I can hear the fast square LFO as vibrato but can’t find what kind of osc wave can scream like that..? Thanks

[@robertoalmeidadossantos9778]

Kraftwerk the best!

Boy, Kraftwerk must rival James Brown in the number of hip hop samples!

I will never understend why this song was never played in the media back then instead of other title from them that are not as good..

FROM THE ERA OF REAL HIPHOP 1980s KRAFTWERK ITS MORE FUN TO COMPUTE

[@sanfoxmusicband]

Obra Maestra¡¡¡

[@michaelkrestan5483]

The computer voice does not say : its more fun to compute...it sounds like : age year hat no compute ....very strange...I wonder about this since may 1981, when I bought this album

[@paultaylor5502]

@@paultaylor5502 No. Computerwelt, May 1981, german version, side B, last song: This Computervoice does not say : it 's more fun to compute, sorry. It should, probably, but does not. In these concerts you are referring to, maybe, but not in this special case. 😉

it is still a mystery why no one listens to this strange lyrics at the beginnig of this last song ...age year hat no compute .. this is the computer voice is saying ^^ ????
