Yep definitely remember it.
Surprised such an Asiancentric song / video made #12 in 1982!!
Was just reading a bit on wiki and came to the bit where the singer said it was a hit everywhere except in Japan because "they thought it sounded too Chinese." Just gotta love the whole weirdness of 80s pop.

I’d love to see the rest of his presentation.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

"Codo" was a hit for DÖF here in 1983. Never knew there was also a Yiddish version, "Cojdoj". Which is quite fantastic, actually.

A musical observation:
The first 30 secs or so, before the vocals kick in, is some seriously beautiful acid rock bliss.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Pretty much a total break. He and Martin did a collaboration called VCMG a few years back and released a couple of techno albums under that name. The more interesting part is that it was released on Mute, Daniel Miller's label. That was the label of the early DM albums. Daniel Miller was also The Normal of the original Warm Leatherette fame (and I think more people are familiar with Grace Jones' cover). Mute was also Fad Gadget's label. I could seriously talk about Mute and Daniel Miller all day long. His parents were also refugees from Nazi occupied Vienna like my nana, so I feel a special affinity toward him. Anyway, I digress. Vince has not done anything with DM proper since he left.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 Sep 2018, 12:48pmHas he done anything with the DM guys since he left or was it a total break?JennyB wrote: ↑14 Sep 2018, 12:37pmWait, i'm a dork.
