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.
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.
Holy shit, my all-time favourite song finally on UA-cam! Thanks a million! Although, I guess they never made a video for the whole song, which is 3-4 times longer than this?
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?
Charlie Chaplin composed an orchestral melody that sounds very similar to this. How interesting. I wonder if there's a connection. UA-cam 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.
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.
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!!!
macabre photo ... i also think holger killed himself. for a long time he cared after his wife, u-she - until her death ... 5 weeks later, holger´s death ...... r.i.p. .... u-she and holger
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. :]
Mannn what was y'all on in the 80s
Pure GENIUS. How I miss Holger Czukay.
Best Nivea commercial ever
RIP, Holger Czukay. Thanks for the music and the trips
Have always been a fan of Can, now im a fan of the man behind the can. A very uniquely funky man.
One of my favorite tracks of all time. Tears welling in my eyes listening to this!
;) Poesboes
I am all yours. What a fantastic piece of music!
Like a very warm magic that takes away all fear in the dark...
I bought the album back in the day. This of course was one my favourites. Love the rhythm section.

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

Holy shit, my all-time favourite song finally on UA-cam! Thanks a million!

Nivea suncream is the aroma of summer.

On The Way To The Peak Of Normal !!!
wow brill :)
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
amazing
It's like drugs ... without the drugs!!!
Better with drugs
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)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The Future Sound of London sent me…..
Grande omaggio a Totò " Malafemmena"
no dai, te voglio bene
the man
Funny, it's my Sunday morning routine...
Talk about "ready for the 80s".
Charlie Chaplin composed an orchestral melody that sounds very similar to this. How interesting. I wonder if there's a connection. UA-cam 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.
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.
RIP :(
What if he made the processed organ sounds with his mouth and the cymbal hits with his hand
@Phrogex1 look up "Smile, Charlie Chaplin , Modern Times, 1936" posted by Petrodka.
always made me think of 'strangers in the night'
Muy bueno
prettay groovy
The song playing in the women’s refuge in Ep 5 of Rain Dogs
Weelll, my original LP does not extract any "Fragrance" from "Ode To Perfume" (which covers the whole side A), so...
Strangers in the night?
indeed!
No... More like' Smile' by Charlie Chaplin
yup. even tho its ''ivo robić-stranci u noći'' but sinatra stole it from him. you know, being a gangster and all that
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.
what IS he alluding to...
eh?
Aye!
A brilliant lunatic.
!!!
fragrance it is
what exact version is this? What release is it from?
Is this from a DVD?
That Pedro has more noodles than a pho restaurant.
@mescaleros666 the FOOOOOOOOOOOOLS
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!!!
Morvern
Дядька серьезно видимо курил. RIP Holger
@mescaleros666 noticed that immediately haha
@anabasi63
ja, ein Lied von Totò.
:-)
mitico Holger Czukay !!!
Did he just sniff glue in his video?
macabre photo ... i also think holger killed himself. for a long time he cared after his wife, u-she - until her death ... 5 weeks later, holger´s death ...... r.i.p. .... u-she and holger
but with Nivea!
