  2. Oh man, this song is pure magic. I don't think that any other song in recent history has been responsible for as many calories being burned as this one.

  3. it doesn't actually sample kraftwerk. it's just copying the TEE melody and the Numbers drum patterns.

  6. "not even remotely rap"? sure, if you want to rewrite history. like it or not (and it's never been one of my favorites), it's a seminal track in the genre.

    and "rap is pathetic" -- i laughed at my dad the first i heard him say that in 1984.

  7. "and "rap is pathetic" -- i laughed at my dad the first i heard him say that in 1984."

    American Black music is pathetic nowadays, just some fat men with gold all over them rapping over a Yamaha motif. America used to have great music, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Prince, Hancock, all the Jazz and blues singers/musicians. Wow!. Now what they have, Will Smith??? Timbaland??? come on.
    Tell your Dad he was right.
    Seminal track? Take "Trans Europe Express" and put a "Numbers"-like drums on it, rap (or whatever) over it, and there you have it... a seminal track. Don´t make me laugh.
    This is crap.

  8. "Don´t make me laugh."

    It would be waste of time trying to teach you how.
