    This were the 80s. We sampled this live in a HardRock Disco near Vilseck Bavaria with Der Tod ist ein Dandy from the Neubauten with a little H and Amphetamins. Nice.

    Now this is what you call incredible real music & real live performing. No auto tune nothing, just a straight great band, vocals & rap. I wish I could go back to these times. they were amazing.

    This was just incredible. Funk, jazz, rock, Motown, disco and rap all rolled into one seamlessly. Wow.

    They rushed this song and cut it too short. The album version is a bit slower, much longer, and infinitely better.

    • @mriyefa2196

      Of course the album version is better but this is sung live and during a TV show they can't afford a 7min performance.
