Das Model/The Model

[Shnate McDuanus]

This is probably one of my favorite songs. What I find cool is that three of my favorite artists of the moment have done versions of it. I'm gonna go ahead and share these with you (I promise there's no Gold Bond this time.)

 

Here's Kraftwerk's original:

 

 

Here's Big Black's cover [album title is NSFW, song itself is SFW]:

Here's Rammstein's cover of it:

I'm hesitant to turn this into a poll, because frankly I like them all equally. I just thought these might be appreciated on here--three very different takes on one song.

 

Edit: Also, Keira Knightley...

Great tune! Personally I'll stick with the first 2. Matter of fact, I have em both on vinyl- I'm off to raid the stacks...

Yeah, I feel you on that--I definitely think that the Rammstein one is my least favorite of the bunch. Simply put, while it's good and I like it, every time I hear it I think "it doesn't need to be this aggressive." Oh well.

 

When I think of Rammstein, I think of two songs before anything else:

The hi-hat beat in the Rammstein version just screams 'GAY DISCO!'
