I've only found it today looking for retro one hit wonders of the 80s ... i seen it and kept repeating "The Foo Fighters" a number of times like i was reading it wrong 😂
it's a totally amazing song and i'm still playing it at 63yrs old i find it interesting how many different covers there are and heard most of them but the original is by far the best hands down no debate 🇬🇧😬
Il aura au moins eu ce privilège d’une reprise. Bien que je rejoins ce sentiment d’une exceptionnelle interprétation unique et inimitable après tout ce temps passé je n’ai pas encore ce sentiment de trop avoir entendu ce magnifique morceau des passions. Combien de fois encore je l’écoute ❤
I just heard the original of this on Stafford FM it made me want to look for it and hear it again on UA-cam. ended up listening to this foo-fighters version watching this video which turned out to be very surreal because it looks like it's been filmed in Stafford.
Fab cover, love the vid also. I saw the Passions Live maybe 1981 is. They were brilliant. Cant remember the venue but I think it was in Victoria London.
Having danced to the original at a school disco, I can confirm this is not as good, close though it may be. I suspect it was done to raise awareness of the original; so, that's no bad thing. 🙂 P.S. The album the original is from is called Thirty Thousand Feet Over China.
This sound is so haunting. I loved the original,when it came out. I alwa thought it didn’t get the AirPlay it deserved.. but, then again, that made it less commercial. It really epitomizes the early 80’s sound. This should have been used in « Stranger Things » instead of Kate Bush’s song. Well, that is solely my opinion !
Kate's song is highly energetic and more suitable to fight the bad demon in STRANGER THINGS. She really deserves to be rediscovered by the new generation. Still, I'M IN LOVE WITH A GERMAN FILMSTAR is a very beautiful song and I was totally struck when I heard it for the first time in 1982. I had Brit coworkers who happened to play it. It also touched me that Brits would fall in love with a German filmstar.
This is so great! Where did these guys dig this up? The Passions..?? 😅 I heard the original on WLIR -NY and thought the dreamy sound was amazing... and now the Foo’s cover it. 👍
Yes, it's the original and lyrics and music go perfectly together. But this version breaks my heart as it is so beautifully sad. I also like the video so much. I can fully identify with the robot and the girl is maybe the most beautiful German filmstar, ever😍
So cool they covered this great song!
Considering its the Foo fighters...
Beautiful song
I just discovered this cover, I’m ashamed that it’s taken till now. More love for the Foos. Deep, rare track. Mind blown.

Aye... remember this beautiful song from many moons ago.
The passions were the original performers of this song many moons ago in my youth and sorry foo fighters they did it far better way back in 1981
Yes!
Wow, this cover has passed me. Love the original and this version.
Great song , great cover, by a great band, thank you.
Im sure ill get criticism but this isn't in same league as original. Her voice makes it unique..
It's fine mate!
This is the beauty of music, nothing should be equal or comparable.. and I'm glad it's not

E' piu' bello l'originale,pero' questa versione ha qualcosa di affascinante ❤
A atmosfera que nos envolve em ambas as músicas são próximas.
Mas a original tem uma paixão genuína
Your correct it’s a classic song the original
How did I miss this? A favourite song by my favourite band. Thanks for posting.
Original : The Passions - I'm in Love with a German Film Star 1981
Yes, absolutely
Hi Rod - wow, thanks for sharing this song. I had no idea it even existed!
Wow....fantastic Foo Fighters 💯👍🏻

Mai e poi mai avrei immaginato una cover dei FF di questa bellissima canzone ,che ho riascoltato dopo tanti anni..😀
Piacevolmente sorpreso 😍
Not exactly uplifting but so beautiful and melancholic 💔💘❤️ For all guys and gals with a big heart. I think, the video is a masterpiece.
I'm not a Foo Fighters fan but this is a nice homage to a blissful song. Fair play to Grohl, he knows his music.
Fab cover, love the vid also. I saw the Passions Live maybe 1981 is. They were brilliant. Cant remember the venue but I think it was in Victoria London.
This is absolutely amazing. Beautiful! Thanks a lot rodsott! I hope you do more =]]]]
Intriguing version, glad to have found this! Love the Foos
I'm obsessed with this song. Where can I download it?
We've all felt like that robot at times in our life. 😢
Every. Single. Day.
I would never dare call this a 'cover' it's more like a part 2 (IT'S THAT GOOD.)
Awesome cover and great video
Beautiful combo, thank you Rodsott.
Is the video from Foo Fighters, or made by somebody else? I find it very moving for some reason, I love it.
Absolutely love this cover!
Foos again Delivering a Quality Cover. Excellent Band led by a real cool sound Man
Always loved the song, but I love it more now :) Really felt your idea.
What with the video? Obviously filmed in England - was it made for the song by Rodrigo?
That's not an official music video, just an experimental edit for this song.
Ma il video e' ufficiale ?
Dove e' girato ,non in America ,direi ☺️

The thank you was for Rodsott nice one mate.
Leave master piece alone
Transports me back to early 80s. Sets the mood right, right quick
Cant believe foo fighters did a copy of this. Even tho it's a good attempt.
Not a patch on the original

Shows their ability to adapt to other music genres... Top Class!!!... 😎 😎 😎
Like something out of a Lina Wertmuller fever dream...
Uff.....great cover
Am I the only one that has the impression this version is slower than the original?
Gunnar S.
I think it is slower. I prefer the original.
Sembra piu' lenta perche'...e piu' lenta 😊
I don't rate the FFs much, but this was a real "homage."
Superbly done.
RoJaws!
This was Taylor's idea 💡 #RIptaylorhawkins ❤️ 🕯
The Passions original versión always!
Top stuff.
this one is to listen after midnight
Almost the same but a little lacking. The Passions have the edge.
Good cover, but I still prefer the original personally
A very good cover. But you're right
Thanks for sharing. We all appreciate knowing that.
Great drum machine: A gentle Dinger-beat-motorik.

cade os Br?

Dear oh dear. What a dreary cover.
for me the Passions' version is better... question of generation...
Yes, it's the original and lyrics and music go perfectly together. But this version breaks my heart as it is so beautifully sad. I also like the video so much. I can fully identify with the robot and the girl is maybe the most beautiful German filmstar, ever😍
I'm in love with a german football manager. Jurgen KLOPP LIVERPOOL FC
Im in love with Mr Jorg Albertz who played with the mighty Glasgow Rangers...... ❤🏐💙
