Snakefinger "The Model"

Snakefinger "The Model"

[@CaptainResident]

Snake and The Residents are underrated as hell.

[@fuzz7263]

Toby Derrikson drastically

[@marcosmith2501]

I had the pleasure of seeing them perform together!

[@Semprini537]

They are not underrated,they never wanted fame (still got some) and they made this weird music on purpose,knowing that they always will be just a candy for few cult followers. They are even overrated since they made some pretty unlisttenable sounds

[@borgono]

@@Semprini537 overrated...yeah, right...

[@jbrownstein7589]

Snakefinger, who's real name I will never divulge, was a boyfriend's roommate back in the 70's in Venice, Ca. I was at his place, Snake was once at mine.

[@prokesuk]

His name was never a secret.

[@ehrichweiss]

LOL, you don't have to "divulge" his name, it's on freakin' wikipedia for chrissake.

[@memosol55]

One of the most memorable bass lines

[@rommix0]

Yeah because it was originally a Kraftwerk song. Kraftwerk always had good basslines.

[@mybingobrain]

This reminds me of Milwaukee in the early 80s. It was on the juke box at a club called " The Starship". Snakefinger played there eventually and did a kick ass show. He played a cheap pawn shop Kent guitar that sounded great. What a musician!!

[@lambdashiftakadavidheikkil2657]

That guitar tone is butter to my ears.

[@larrythomas4380]

Such great memories... Saw them many times Live !! During my youthful day's back in the 70's

[@leonardoivacic2965]

Han Solo makin’ some dope music

[@emdotambient]

One of the very best covers of this song. Faithful in its way, while capturing the more lurid implications of the song. Always have loved this one.

[@charlyW34]

Phil Lithman was a real genius. Another unique talent taken too soon. love this version, the snake obviously loved Kraftwerk. Cheers!

[@cheerfulmadness]

This is the best cover of it I've ever heard. Am I the only one to think Snake Fingers bears more than a passing resemblance to Han Solo?

[@auxnull]

i do not see it. maybe slightly.

[@pianocovers4227]

Yeah ! ..'ve always seen Han Solo !

[@duncan-rmi]

jerry harrison, maybe...

[@jptre]

damn i thought that actually was harrison ford

[@kedlz]

this song was released before Kraftwerk's.

[@bobt5601]

a friend introduced me to this in 1980. Still love it.

[@FeonaLeeJones]

damn this song has been stuck in my head this entire week

[@joshbernardo4360]

My fav guitarists 1. David Gilmour 2. George Harrison 3. Snakefinger

[@Gopichant]

Still listening to it in 2021.

[@Scotty-P]

I CAN'T believe tonight is the first time I'm hearing this!

[@MrJoeGenius]

Snakefinger shows the knack for covers that his residence in The Residents nurtured. This version of Kraftwerk's "The Model" keeps the rhythm and melody but substitutes guitar for synthesizers.

[@joeguerreiro3701]

Steven Gallanter "residence in the residents." nice one there

[@thecjl99]

you mean switches synthesizers for guitars

[@SK1974ification]

Had this record once upon a time.

[@karljk]

THE BEST VERSION

[@merissagonzalez6823]

Lyrics She's a model and she's looking good I'd like to take her home that's understood She's playing hard to get, she smiles from time to time It only takes a camera to change her mind She's going out tonight, for drinking just champagne And she has been checking nearly all the men She's playing her game and you can hear them say.. "hmm She's looking good, for beauty we will pay" She's posing for consumer products now and then For every camera she gives the best she can I even saw her on the cover of a magazine Now she's a big success, I want to see her again

[@Wilantonjakov]

It's "she's going out to nightclubs drinking just champagne."

[@robotfumble]

one of my favorite model-covers

[@noeldelesseps4321]

fancy lad ;p

[@terrenbrown4941]

Erics part

[@soyslut]

+Noel de Lesseps Happy they sent me here :)

[@Prospekteur]

+Franky Maruchan fancy lad.....the best Skatevid ive ever seen;-) Im from germany.....and this version from Snakefinger is so much better than the german version from kraftwerk.....

[@narvdogg8671]

Didn't get it but figured it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5LPdpieitymiNU @ 17:11

[@Paolopagnaniofficial]

I miss you Snaky

[@sagewere-rat3282]

i party so hard to this

[@PoutineProductions]

I heard the original one and this one. This one makes me feel cool driving in a car and it makes me kinda bob my body up and down my seat. The other one, original, was not bad though.

[@SploopBaDoop]

+PoutineProductions Agreed...this cover lends itself to driving around with the top down. Kraftwerks original version is still timeless

[@jonisonline09]

its good yo

[@BillMcSciFi]

The first bootleg I ever bought was a green vinyl 45 of this

[@AMeN288]

Roll your joint, put the song on and do some smoke's circles

[@chriswyke]

Best cover of The Model.

[@soulseer5]

You are waiting at an underground train stop, rolling your shoulders as you shake your head. A girl in a blue dress walks by, and you pull your shades down and say, " no waaaay-"

[@diaxgvantsa_]

საინტერესოა

[@oscardriver]

What a cool version this is.

[@TheChannelofaDisappointedMan]

Absolute quality reworking.

[@SK1974ification]

Love the Carribean vibe. And the lisp

[@meatmotor]

Please don't let Kraftwerk know, but I like this version more than the original!

[@monkerino]

he is just very different.

[@kallewirschin]

Amazing Cover...!!! Looove the Balanescu Quartet-Cover! It´s usually instrumental - but there´s also a version with the extraordinary David Byrne - listen to and have fun... :D

[@vosblod]

Love it, feels Hawaiian

[@kaystern]

Booooooooooooo Very very nice! I like this remix really, kraftwerk is for me a intuatin, but this... great!

[@weirdosheep619]

Very nice, up there with the Big Black version to be certain.

[@lurleenbeckneywimple3270]

Big Black’s is my favorite

[@ferrucjean623]

This tune is timeless, hotter than the original. Anybody here in 2021?

[@jacknumberone600]

Phil was great. Put the year of release karmike, people don't remember that long ago.

[@Buszu00]

my favourite thing in the world

[@jameselliott5390]

good version this

[@vote4ulvio]

I heard this from the residents but don't remember the song name?

[@dannybaster2209]

Much better than the original

[@davidgallagher5094]

+Alexandra Aerlinn Snakefinger was the first to cover this song...Kraftwerk wrote it

[@Wilantonjakov]

respectfully disagree! Although I love them both

[@Scotty-P]

Not.

[@lanakorvin2445]

I totally agree ! this is incredible the voice and music

[@ThalamusMinimus]

Theirs and The Cardigans' (sexy female vox) are my 2 favorite covers of this song (very yin-yang that 1 is very heavy with male vox & the other is the opposite).

[@jaycooper2624]

My favourite version of this song.I believe Snakefinger's real name is Phil Lithman ,he hails from Wales(sorry) and before The Residents he played Guitar with Chilli Willi and the Red Hot Peppers.

[@seatonsmithy436]

Snakey also played dobro, violin, piano, mellotron, banjoette & VCS3 synthesiser in Chilli Willi.

[@charlytaylor1748]

born in Tooting, london, I believe

[@ginolight]

A very successfull cover in the 8os , . True !

[@verapamil07]

Heard it from Soulwax mix, the chords and latino melody make it somehow melancholic but still good.

[@s062dd]

Soooo fucking good

[@Bfrumg]

man i miss the 80's so much I did so much cocaine it was so pure and easy to get! man I miss being an infant.

I cannot for the life of me figure out the riffs that go after each line of lyrics and before/after the last verse.
