KRAFTWERK - Showroom Dummies

[@plasticfriend9292]

Why is a happy smiling and dancing Ralf the most cutest thing on earth?

[@huguitorecords5055]

Haha, indeed. And, if you pay attention you'll see that the camera don't show him much as the others. He had some problems with self-esteem in those years, very shy guy. Florian really looks like a robot!! Haha

[@SergiuszWrotek8]

@@huguitorecords5055 Do You maybe know, why he had such issues? From musical and career perspective those were Ralf' s golden days, however, he always seemed to be a very mysterious, introverted, shy and delicate guy and at the same time with unique force of creativity and charisma.

[@eyerock36]

Oh, 2:13

[@FrankNFurter1000]

They are so bloody adorable. And I LOVE how much fun they have in this video. The dancing at the end is brilliant, and they are clearly enjoying being silly. RIP Florian.

[@LaptopLarry330]

It's good to see Ralf, Florian, Wolfgang, and Karl cut loose, and have some fun in this music video. Anyone who thinks that Kraftwerk's music is stiff and lifeless needs to see this video.

[@Cadesworth]

I think that the genius thing about this song is that they intentionally lean into the criticism that their music is stiff and lifeless. "Showroom dummies", eh? At least, I think it's clever.

[@literallyanythingelse]

@@Cadesworth the comment, she is, how do you say, sarcastic

[@kraftwerklover69]

You should see the 1981 live recordings of pocket calculator, ralf looks so happy there!

[@ALXXMaXX]

"We're standing here...exposing ourselves" This is one of my favorite bands ever, but that line just made me laugh out loud.

[@pablo.romero]

RIP Florian Schneider +(1947, 2020). Rest in The Voice Of Energy. He was the coolest of the band...

[@v.a.993]

Wolfgang is cool, as is Karl.

[@anto6331]

2:14 i love how karl is just vibing in the back. yes you're doing amazing sweetie 😌❤️

[@wididididididi8693]

He's just so precious

[@itsamilkshake]

“We step out and take a walk through the city’ was sacrificed for timing purposes, leaving a little scar in the edit, but by then the lyrics had taken us to the club and we started dancing. And how. Florian - the master of pirouettes and shaken bar mixer hands - remained deadly serious. Incredible but true: Ralf and Wolfgang are smiling just as the invisible ‘screenplay’ dictates. And me ... well, never mind. Those were the disco days and I gave everything I had ...” - Karl Bartos

Kraftwerk Made The Most Beautiful Electronic Music Ever & This Video Shows It. I've Been A Big Fan Of Kraftwerk Since 1977 & I Love Everything That They Do.

[@oludotunjohnshowemimo434]

Wolfgang, Florian, Karl and Ralf, the German electronic music equivalent of The Beatles.

[@juaniortelli2705]

Amen

I’ve always thought that! Ralf = Paul Florian = John Karl = George Wolfgang = Ringo

[@Bellvoy]

We are standing here,Exposing ourselves We're being watched and we feel our pulse We look around and change our pose We start to move And we break the glass We step out And take a walk through the city We go into a club And there we start to dance WE ARE SHOWROOM DUMMIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@oludotunjohnshowemimo434]

Simple lyrics but Kraftwerk were absolute geniuses.

[@maraujo1984]

KRAFTWERK DANCING!!! WOW!!! I've never imagined this four visionaries people dancing!!! Great video and perfect song!! I Love It!!! :)

[@rafaelmartinezdiaz3486]

Si existieran redes sociales en esa hermosa época estos Alemanes serían los culpables de la revolución de la música. Que de echo lo son !! Muchas gracias

[@NimrodelMirage]

Truly one of the music videos ever

[@KeithPudliner-nx1qj]

At 1:05 when they "look around" and "change their pose" is SO fucking awesome! And the fact KRAFTWERK never took themselves too seriously is the mist beloved thing about them. ❤️

[@IsabelDhampir82]

Que buen vídeo, y la música es tan pegajosa; se empieza a oír y dan ganas de salir a bailar.

Masterpiece.

[@barbarastepien-foad4519]

brilliant takes me back to student days of old great

[@antunivanovic]

Judging from their appearance in thisvideo, it too may have been from around 1977. The song itself is slightly remixed here, the "single edit" from the re-released version around 1982.

[@jorgelinalina]

This video it's EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SuperAgartha]

BRILLIANT...

[@prof.antoniocretella8994]

Actually this version is different from the album track: the drums are heavier and it’s more “danceable”. I like this version more

@2:00 Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance!

[@oludotunjohnshowemimo434]

I imagine many fashion retailers would have played this on the loudspeaker and the customers dancing to it as they are shopping. This video, Florian, Karl, Ralf and Wolfgang were absolute geniuses and actually thought they were actually just showroom dummies or robots. The Bach, Handel, Mozart, Schubert, Wagner, Mendelssohn, Pachelbel and Beethoven of German electronic music rolled into one.

Are we going to ignore the fact that Karl Bartos' drum pad looks like a keyboard?

[@robkb4559]

Just read about the filming of this footage in Karl's book "The Sound of the Machine". Never saw it before today. Wonderful, though it was a shame they had to hack the song to bits to get it down to length.

[@holsdpuffnstuff]

Yeah i agreee with badluck. but This song is about how people said they looked like Showroom dummies, manakins, robots, when they were live. so its about something. lyrics aren't pointless.

[@machiner6]

is Florian like doing the Peace sign at 1:12?

[@vomeinsamenmadchensophie]

♡♡♡.

[@machiner6]

I just had a funny idea of parodying this video: Casting 4 members from Half-Life 2 (Dr. Kliener as Ralf, G-Man as Karl Bartos, Barney Calhoun as Wolfgang, and Dr. Breen as Florian) I thought the "Break the glass" verse could be exaggerated, as when that is announced, the music pauses, then shifts to a sub-machinegun shooting a window, then a grenade blowing away the rest. this is followed by display glass breaking. "We're being watched" is of citizens strolling by and a flying robot flashing.
