elektronik kinder Hallowe'en

 

I can't remember having done a Hallowe'en post before but I just can't resist showing you the children of the Kinder der 1. Klasse at GTS Lemmchen Mainz-Mombach school performing Kraftwerk's 1977 number The Robots, while dressed in homemade cardboard costumes. Truth to tell, I got a tear in my eye when they started to sing.

Kraftwerk was a great band and did a lot to introduce electronic music to the world at large, although Raymond Scott's Manhattan Research Project probably started the whole thing. Anyhow, maybe you remember them yourself - if not, and if you're wondering about The Robots here's a performance they did a couple of years ago.

Remember to wear some reflective clothing when you go out to trick or treat.. and don't eat too much candy.

    Ha ha ha. Lauter kleine Kraftwerke.
    The corners of my mouth are still not back from their expedition to my ear-lobes.

      Bah humbug switch the little robots off until Halloween is over. I'm off to bed in case any little people ring my bell expecting something for nothing...
