I had no idea there was a video for this when I was a kid in the 80s with my Walkman on the bus. I scored a tape copy from the coolest kid in the year. At least in retrospect he was the coolest. I have no idea if he's even alive anymore.
I just read your comment, it's so funny, the coolest guy in my school turned me on to CAN, Amon Duul, Neu. I'm 64 now and still love this music. Very few people realise how this music influenced the early rave scene. If you read this take care man and keep listening to the tunes.
Holy shit, my all-time favourite song finally on CZcams! Thanks a million! Although, I guess they never made a video for the whole song, which is 3-4 times longer than this?
I find this pretty good. Creepy, ironic and fun. Excellent playback sync. Nivea! You probably have to have been a kid in Germany to get this. I exactly remember the smell, texture and, ahem, taste when I watch him. Come on, you tried it too, didn't you?
Charlie Chaplin composed an orchestral melody that sounds very similar to this. How interesting. I wonder if there's a connection. CZcams won't let me send the link, but look up the last scene on Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times and listen to the theme music about 20 seconds in.
hey but that's an enough snip of the piece! i never would know the cymbal was just next to the keys tapped by czukay's own hand, youtube rules, cheers lazyslip from hong kong.
codyki, if "half-ass dracula" is all you can glean from Holger's vid, you don't dig too deep , do ya? but that's no reflection on you (in Holger's mirror, that is.. ) The Great Holger!!!
Holgar, ye merry prankster! Trolling your very own song, and putting those old avant garde film art stuff. We get it, and we appreciate your brilliant and ironic self. :]
macabre photo ... i also think holger killed himself. for a long time he cared after his wife, u-she - until her death ... 5 weeks later, holger´s death ...... r.i.p. .... u-she and holger
Best Nivea commercial ever
Pure GENIUS. How I miss Holger Czukay.
Mannn what was y'all on in the 80s
I bought the album back in the day. This of course was one my favourites. Love the rhythm section.
Have always been a fan of Can, now im a fan of the man behind the can. A very uniquely funky man.
RIP, Holger Czukay. Thanks for the music and the trips
i had the vinyl in the 80s and most of Can of course, and my favorite Movies
One of my favorite tracks of all time. Tears welling in my eyes listening to this!
;) Poesboes
I am all yours. What a fantastic piece of music!
Like a very warm magic that takes away all fear in the dark...
Crazy shit, good-for-humanity shit.
THank you! RIP Holger
Remember People if it's in a Can it lasts indefinitely!!!! Deutsche Electronic!!!! Still F*cking Wow!!!

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you Holger, and thanks Karmike2 for posting this.
so great, slimy, outrageous synth
Played it so many times ovr the years, i just love it!
...from the lp "on the way to the peak of normal", if anybody should be interested...
As good, if not better than most drugs.
damn right
Also... splendid while ON drugs. Best of both world, as it were. 🌮 tacos
WHY NOT BOTH?
great guitar for a self-taught amateur... heh.. he's a freakin genius, this Holger, he is!
When you see a security camera in the store
Good one
this is a dank groove
RIP Legend...
Strange I don't remember dropping any acid!! But listening to this music!!I seem to be trrippppiinnnnnñg!!!!!!!!!!!

genius! much respect for him
Fab short version. Shaped my musical life and opened me up to a world of wonders. Bravo my friend!
Just GREAT music, celebrating something beautiful in a most articulate way.
Unique. Love his stuff for over 35 years😃
Nivea suncream is the aroma of summer.
I remember this...great...
Amazing! The guy innovated so much with Can just couldn't stop innovating with his solo stuff...brilliant.
amazing trip
-3 this, I can totally relate to how he reacts and experiences music alone, hilarious, a genius!
this is like euro disco almost CAN is the most amazing band when they had Damo but he Holger did all the recording engineering
It's like drugs ... without the drugs!!!
Better with drugs
Incredible exhibition of genius ... man I need some Can
RIP Holger
beautiful simply
Holger reminds me of Jean Pierre Léaud here!
They really do look alike.
COOL AF
can't stop wating it it's just brill
Great!
Simply great !
What a Track! Legend🔥
Cmmon.. that’s absolutely brilliant
On The Way To The Peak Of Normal !!!
RIP Holger...
Brilliant!

Just makes me smile
...though you heart is breaking?

love it
mitico Holger Czukay !!!
DOPE ..... 1oo1 tx ....stay young again..
great music
amazing
back again :)
Talk about "ready for the 80s".
It sounds like he's using the same vocoder that Tommy Mars used with Zappa in the late seventies and early eighties (i.e. the Korg VC-10)
wow brill :)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Grande omaggio a Totò " Malafemmena"
no dai, te voglio bene
the man
Funny, it's my Sunday morning routine...
prettay groovy
RIP :(
Muy bueno

Ha, I was thinking the exact same thing. The song is called "Smile", and was later a recording hit for singers like Nat King Cole.
A brilliant lunatic.
What if he made the processed organ sounds with his mouth and the cymbal hits with his hand
hey but that's an enough snip of the piece! i never would know the cymbal was just next to the keys tapped by czukay's own hand, youtube rules, cheers lazyslip from hong kong.
what IS he alluding to...
eh?
Aye!
!!!
@mescaleros666 the FOOOOOOOOOOOOLS
Holger ist ein sehr guter Musiker
Ob ich ein Fan bin? Das würde ich nicht so sagen, aber ich höre ihm sehr gerne zu
hans robl
fragrance it is
Morvern
Дядька серьезно видимо курил. RIP Holger
codyki, if "half-ass dracula" is all you can glean from Holger's vid, you don't dig too deep , do ya? but that's no reflection on you (in Holger's mirror, that is.. )
The Great Holger!!!
Strangers in the night?
indeed!
No... More like' Smile' by Charlie Chaplin
yup. even tho its ''ivo robić-stranci u noći'' but sinatra stole it from him. you know, being a gangster and all that
:-)
@mescaleros666 noticed that immediately haha
Weelll, my original LP does not extract any "Fragrance" from "Ode To Perfume" (which covers the whole side A), so...
@anabasi63
ja, ein Lied von Totò.
@Phrogex1 look up "Smile, Charlie Chaplin , Modern Times, 1936" posted by Petrodka.
always made me think of 'strangers in the night'
The song playing in the women’s refuge in Ep 5 of Rain Dogs
Holgar, ye merry prankster! Trolling your very own song, and putting those old avant garde film art stuff. We get it, and we appreciate your brilliant and ironic self. :]
what exact version is this? What release is it from?
@ardentepatience
but with Nivea!
Is this from a DVD?
kitty
straight, old german avantgarde it seems or sounds like.
h.m.
aber mit is es noch besser :)
macabre photo ... i also think holger killed himself. for a long time he cared after his wife, u-she - until her death ... 5 weeks later, holger´s death ...... r.i.p. .... u-she and holger
