- Klaus Sperber (January 24, 1944 -- August 6, 1983), better known as Klaus Nomi, was a German countertenor noted for his wide vocal range and an unusual, otherworldly stage persona.
Nomi was known for his bizarrely visionary theatrical live performances, heavy make-up, unusual costumes, and a highly stylized signature hairdo which flaunted a receding hairline. His songs were equally unusual, ranging from synthesizer-laden interpretations of classical music opera to covers of 1960s pop standards like Chubby Checker's "The Twist" and Lou Christie's "Lightnin' Strikes". He is remembered in the US as one of David Bowie's backup singers for a 1979 performance on Saturday Night Live.
Nomi died in 1983 at the age of 39 as a result of complications from AIDS.
R.I.P. artist. Thanks for the music.
TOTAL ECLIPSE LYRICS
Big shots argue about what they've got
making the planet so hot, hot as a holocaust.
Blow up, everything's gonna go up
even if you don't show up in your Chemise Lacoste.
Total eclipse, it's a total eclipse,
it's a total eclipse of the sun.
Can't come to grips with the total eclipse
Just a slip of ypur lips and you're done.
Fall out, nobody left to crawl out
If someone calls, we're all out, turning in to French fries
Last dance, let the entire cast dance, do the dismembered blast dance
as we get atomized!
I had no idea what this song was about until I saw this video, thanks!
Klaus Nomi had a set of pipes, what a talent!
Very creative lyrics graphic! Thank you for your effort.
Angela ( The German ) should listen to this song before is gonna be to late for Europe
Angela is a puppet.
oh shut up man
Cant disagree, i hope it's not too late... We dont need kalifat Germany ;)
thanks you for the presentation... and Nami for attempted to save us
OMG! love how you did the lyrics! love it!
thanks!
Some falsetto!
An interesting take on early 80s nuclear war fears. The artist sees what is right in front of everybody, only they make it imminent by its transformation into art.
Dieses Video ist einfach genial!!
I realized from this video that I've been singing most of the lyrics wrong 😂
my first album at ~6 , for years i thought it was a woman
Thank you
Who's this guy?
Someone worthy of being remembered.
A wonderful singer to be remembered
We were warned a long,long,long fucking time ago. I have a poem
Through shallow waters I tread.
All around me
Everywhere I look
I see the walking dead
They don't feel
They don't think
They're only offended
My life is behind me
My best friend is sick
In the land of the dead
Life has become plastic
Nothing is real
No one wants to think or feel
In the the land of the dead
I scream I rage in the
Silence of people's
Hearts
But only a deathly echo Responds in the land of the dead
Pearls before swine, they dine
What is yours and what is mine
The distorted rules in the land
Of the dead.
They think they know
But they have no clue
That these words are directed
At you. They have no soul
They don't give a shit
Because they are the citizens
Here, in the land of the dead.
I am tired, and sick of this
Pathetic race. To much ado
Here in the land of the dead.
The big one is coming
We will breed ourselves
Out of existence
But, do you think anyone cares
The zombies here, in the land
of the dead?
Don't be so hard on people. The time when they actually had a choice is long gone,
I like.
