lol, reading the comments, must be something wrong with me, i'm 61, heard all the covers and original of this song ... when ... they came out and I"m even talking about her cover on the Ecstasy record (chit) ... my god, you people have no idea what you are experiencing here ... best version ever, hands down ... Billy Liesegang and Karl Rucker ... unbelievable ... this is how she should have done this on the record ... how this song should be played ...
This song is my dad's favorite. He passed in 1992 and the original was played at his funeral along with other tunes he liked. He would have loved Nina's version.
Best cover of this song by far!!! The guitarist was over the top great! Makes you look forward to getting to heaven! Her quirky delivery of the lyrics was cool! Love it!!!
Probably because the song is not really about some Byzantine proclamation - i.e. "Nicene Creed" it just mentions a Spirit in the Sky and Jesus.....you know all that magicy stuff is just put in to placate the raving made Greek Bishops in Constantine's Council.......Yea and Mary was a virgin......just like in all the older versions of god men.....I wish people would really read some books about history....
Une merveilleuse et talentueuse chanteuse et musicienne qui est à elle seule l authenticité, l humilité et le fun , inspiré sans cesse par l amour que Jesus lui donne elle chante de toutes ces tripes !, je t aime Nina you're the best!! Ce genre d artiste est d une rareté incontesté
You are so correct!!! When I was in college, I worked as a DJ at my college's radio station all 4 years, and served as Music Director my Junior and Senior years. I made sure to play Nina Hagen constantly, and made sure other DJ's followed suit. However,, I NEVER heard Nina Hagen on any commercial radio station! Heck almost never heard her on any college, non-profit radio station The biggest issue I see is that her early albums/singles were in German, and although I played ""TV-Glotzer"" and ""Wie leben immer" to death, the US, at the time, wasn't reading to accept non-English songs. But besides being a great singer/entertainer - how many artists were more attractive than Nina? Considering the mindset of that era (late 1970's*early 1980's) - ot was the attractive female artists who were promoted. Why was Nina denied?
@@billsager5634 there is a TV show that was on public access in New York City called On Patrol. Nina said that the man who was in charge of her career did not like her because she wore too much make up. His name was Alan Leavy. He was instrumental in holding up her American record deal.
@@TomYaz - Never heard of Alan Leavy nor "On Patrol", but either Alan Leavy is full of shite, or that's just a cop out. Remember NYC gave us the New York Dolls, Kiss, Twister Sister, etc... Makeup galor! Maybe Nina Hagen was a tad too avant garde for American tatses, but that :make up" line is pure BS,
Madonna, Cindi Lauper, Lady Gaga, all Nina Hagen wanna be's !! None of them can hold a candle to her style or creativity. She's had more looks in a month then they've had in their careers. And her band is totally under rated for straight up musicianship. I got introduced to Nunsex Munkrock in 1982 and I've loved her ever since.
Was für eine Stimme, tolle (durchgeknallte) Frau. Irgendwie muss ich feststellen das ich wohl alt werde, solch geile Musik gibt es heute einfach nicht mehr....
Je suis comme toi, nous avons le même âge et je te remercie pour tant de vécu. Je n'ai pas ta voix et la tienne est du délire, comme j'aimerais te parler en allemand et te faire la Cour en tout honneur. Je t'embrasse Nina. ❤😍
Nina Hagen...way kooler than Madonna ...Gaga...Cyrus....Katy Perry....she started so much.....cyber goth meets opera meets horror punk ...she's awesome
Great song and I’m an atheist ! I did not exist before I was born and I will not exist after I die. No heaven or hell for me but boy, I had a good long life thanks to evolution and luck.
Hey! Has anyone ever seen the alleged official video to Nina's cover of Spirit in the Sky? I only heard it existed when she mentioned, on the David Letterman show (the clip is here on UA-cam), that she'd been in Spain and Greece filming it. I wonder if it was actually produced/released? Was it the English version, or the German one from "Exstase"? I like the latter a little better, especially at the very end when Nina sneezes, and then says, in a more masculine voice, "Gesundheit".
Many people comment on the influence that her charisma has had on many artists but the one I think about most is Mexico's naughty girl from the late 80"s early 90's Gloria Trevi. Riding the microphone stand and crucifix especially. This was a wonderful rendition and amazing to watch. I think Norman Greenbaum would be proud.
j nina hagen eu penso como fui sortuda em viver estes tempos com UMA FURIA DE VIVER hoje eu sou "velha"na escola a minha filha mais nova tem a mãe mais velha da turma,mas quando eu digo eu vivi numa época muito louca ,eu perdi meus grandes amigos com as drogas ,mas eu posso falar todas as histórias ,que eu vivi,eu apanhei uma boleia nosw anos 80 com estes musicos de nina hagen....eu vou morrer mas eu deixo muitas histórias verdadeiras para minhas filhas e muitos jovens,em 1987 perdi minha melhor amiga uma overdose levou a nina portuguesa,menina das ruas e noites de portugal.

Still the most Christ-like Hindu and Buddhist in the Universe. The Mother of Holy S(punk). Hey lost souls you don't have to be lost no more NINA IS HERE. Thanks Gnapster!!!!
NINA HAGEN is one of the greatest artists EVER! So unique and original! Incredible vocal range, punky and operatic! Have loved her since my Punk days.
Couldn't agree more. The godmother of Punk. She is AMAZING

Love your comment

👍👍💫💫💫
Yes, but check Evol Walks‘ rendition, too. It‘s close.
This song is my dad's favorite. He passed in 1992 and the original was played at his funeral along with other tunes he liked. He would have loved Nina's version.
I hope it is played at mine.
Me too.
Deanna Dalton . LOL punk retired so 😘
@@fr0gthefrench502 hahahahahahahahaha, you retired
thats good!
Always have been a fan of Nina. But I am just realizing how much better her live performances are than the studio versions.
Best cover of this song by far!!! The guitarist was over the top great! Makes you look forward to getting to heaven! Her quirky delivery of the lyrics was cool! Love it!!!
Definitely what I want played at my funeral.
our tombstone will have blog's. 're already halfway there:
Can you imagine that 40 years have passed. 40.
time, what is that like? only time that matters is: NOW
Her band is absolutely amazing
lead git is a badass; a healthy one.
I was there. It from Roskilde in Denmark
When I was a kid, I always wondered why we never sang this in church. I always seemed a perfect way to celebrate Mass and praise the Trinity.
Definitely
Perhaps b/c it was wrote by a Jewish fella. 😂
@@jamesschaidt1096 But Christianity is all about a Jewish guy...? Maybe the Jews For Jesus movement has something going for it?

If this video is not shown at my funeral, I'm not coming 😎
Haha, best comment! 😂

Nina, thanks! 2020 in the old US waiting for the storm, hope i got friend in Jesus! Peace be with you.
Nina rocks! Billy Liesegang's guitar solo is ++, Karl Rucker's bass work is on point 🎵🎵
Danke
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." - John 13:34
Times didn't change, spirit is a good song for now and ever, thank you Mme Nina Hagen! ❤
Her record label would not support her in the USA She deserved a much bigger chance here.

Madonna wasn't Punk Rock, she was considered Bubblegum pop, VERY DIFFERENT Genres.
And her BAND!!!
Icon Artist ,if all nowadays rappers which use autotune could see her and performing with her they would disappear immediately....
Love this song I listen to it every day !!!!; She does it very good too!
Was für eine Stimme, tolle (durchgeknallte) Frau. Irgendwie muss ich feststellen das ich wohl alt werde, solch geile Musik gibt es heute einfach nicht mehr....
I loved the Dr. and the Medics' cover, but this was great! Nina Rocked it out, and the guitarist jammed! What a great cover.
"Spirit in The Sky" original was written and composed by Norman Greenbaum in 1970, Dr. & The Medics covered it.
wow what a voice !!!!!!
When you see a band firing on all cylinders and having a damn good time 🔥
For some reason I really like this guitar solo.
Impossibile non amarla..... Impossible not to love her...
its very easy not to.
This is more than gold, thanks so much for posting. peace!
Nina❤
nina hagen is total and absolut rock and roll rocks yeah
best singer ever....she inspired Abi's look In NCIS
Just saw an episode of Ncis where they zoomed in on Abby 's shoes and i had to think on Nina too
Most theatrical female singer ever
Eines ihrer vielen tollen Lieder...sie ist eine Ikone und absolut Kult
Love this song very close to my heart😮
Woah!!!!!
Damn this version is crackin' !!! 😀 🎸
Long before burning man there was Nina Hagen!
Je suis comme toi, nous avons le même âge et je te remercie pour tant de vécu. Je n'ai pas ta voix et la tienne est du délire, comme j'aimerais te parler en allemand et te faire la Cour en tout honneur. Je t'embrasse Nina. ❤😍

Saw Nina at Club DV8 in San Francisco.

i'm grown up with her songs.
