Trans Europa Express Lyrics
Trans Europa Express
Trans Europa Express
Trans Europa Express
Trans Europa Express
Rendez-vous auf den Champs Elysées
Verlass Paris am Morgen mit dem TEE
In Wien sitzen wir im Nachtcafe
Direkt Verbindung TEE
Wir laufen 'rein in Düsseldorf City
Und treffen Iggy Pop und David Bowie
Trans Europa Express
Trans Europa Express

Rendez-vous auf den Champs Elysées
Verlass Paris am Morgen mit dem TEE
In Wien sitzen wir im Nachtcafe

I think this song is about the Trans Europe Express.
this is the song that sucked me into this genere
without this song there'd be no hip hop as we know it.
Chinup is part right, Rap was influenced by many things, but Kraftwerk is what overwhemingly got rap started.
Kraftwerk did not get rap started. It just kicked off the electronic/rap connection...like Afrika Bambatta and The Soul Sonic Force and the song 'Planet Rock'. After that loads of rap artists began lifting Kraftwerk's sound.
Funny thing is, I adore Kraftwerk and I can't stand rap and hip hop. I find it hard to believe that something as beautiful, precise and technology-loving as Kraftwerk could inspire something as insipid and musicless as rap.
amen.
amen.
