I was working at circuit city when this woman asked for help on a camcorder. I said “ you look like Nina Hagen” she replied “I am Nina Hagen”! I’ll never forget what an epic moment that was. She was so awesome.
From 1971 to today, Nina Hagen has made parents ask their children, “What the hell are you listening to??” 😍🤩❤️ *edited on December 7, 2023 …and makes some children ask their parents, “What the hell are you listening to??”
My old boss was a fan of Nina, anytime he was down or stressed I'd just like shake him and go "WE ARE GOING TO ANOTHER DISCO."...that usually did the trick and got him to laugh.
This video was shot in New York Live - she doesn't lip sync - I knew Karl Rucker who died in 2016 after a brief battle with cancer - he was an amazing man - had could play any instrument he picked up. Nina and Karl where roommates for 8 years in NYC. Very nice man. I wish they left this version on the record - Nina is amazing. A genius with delayed vocals and she was an opera prodigy at the age of 9 years old.
Nina does something very few modern artists do. She moves to her music in a completely non self conscious, non choreographed way. She embodies it in the moment.
She was brilliantly clever music wise. People don't even know how clever she was, just see her acting crazy, facial contortions ,voice doing verbal acrobatics and they think she was just some chaotic off the cuff kook. It was all part of the Nina stage persona ..She was brilliant. She was so much more punk ,then some punks that claimed to be back then. She did punk in her own very unique way. And you cannot get much more punk then that. Only now when I'm much older, I am really appreciating her more.
This is amazing . Before Madonna, before Gaga....there was NINA HAGEN. Amazing artist , singer , songwriter and so unique . Only Grace Jones goes along with Hagen .
I love Nina Hagen, I had the pleasure of meeting her - and spending an entire evening with her - she was very approachable - treated me like she knew me forever, she isn't kidding when she says it's always late at night when she wants to go out, we hit Gay Bar after Gay Bar from 10:30pm - 4:00am - I still keep in touch with her. She's a great lady, very kind and generous - it was worth being out that late - I didn't sleep that night - I just went to work @5:00am - I was tired - but like I said again - it was so worth it. :)
She was the first woman in music I remember to admire. I was 8 years old, when I first heard this song on the radio, back in 1983. I was mesmerized. I asked my mother to buy the LP “Fearless” and I still have it. After Nina, I began to admire women with exquisite looks, like Annie Lennox and Siouxsie Sioux. Thanks for sharing this video!
A años luz de las que se consideran "artistas" hoy en día.... dentro de 20 años pones esta canción y te sigue gustando..... la calidad es es la calidad.
I believe that Nina Hagen has one of the most versatile singing voices up to date. Given that I don't about whether or not she had formal vocal training, Nina's vocal range and her ability to adapt her voice is nothing short of phenomenal.
Everyone says “Oh she had opera training”. Of course she did… But her voice is also extraordinary, the opera training just gave her mastery over her talent.
Nina Hagen and Kate Bush, using their voices as instruments like no one before or after them. We were so lucky, those of us who were kids to 20 something in the 80s.
Nina was our Goddess in the early 80's-saw her at the Wiltern in LA-where Anthony Keidis from Chili Peppers jumped on stage in that HUGE fake fur purple coat-and they did "What It Is"....Awww-now those were FUN days. Gaga does not have a fraction of Hagen's talent, she's already being forgotten. Hagen-I was born in xixax-no, I really was born 6/6/66, always was my song!
I was presented to her on lbiza twice when I was on holiday. She was my biggest idol when I was 13-14. Little did I know that I was going to make dresses for her some few years later when I moved to Ibiza. We made some nice photo shots of her on the beach. She's a nice lady, but she did have her days when you preferred to stay far away from her. 😂 She always had an majestic air around her. The tourists made big faces an I was in heaven. Nice memories ❤
This joint was the shiznit back in the clubs in to 80's. This shit STILL holds up after all these years. And I STILL love me some Nina Hagen. This woman put weirdness on the map. GaGa ain't got SHIT on Nina!!
Used to dance to this track and Born in Xiaxax at the 321 Club in Santa Monica waaaaay back in the day in the 80s....anyone out there remember that great club??? I'm 50 now, and I can't remember a lot of what has happened between now and then, but those memories back in the 80s are safe in the vault. I can still smell cloves in the air as we waited in line!
I cant believe I found this song...I haven't heard this song since 1983, at a random disco in Orlando Fl.!! It was quite outer worldly, but I was intrigued.
Lindoooooooooooooo! Incrível! Como que uma artista super maravilhosa dessas, não faz sucesso em meu pais. Não aguento mais samba, pagode e outros bichos... Af!
Em nasci em 1968 e durante minha adolescência ela fez muito sucesso. Teu a música "linda garota de Berlim - Tóquio e Nina Hagen". Vale a pena ouvir. Ocorre que os pais da minha geração, em vez de ensinar os filhos os entregou aos avós, às creches, escolas e à pipa na rua e o resultado é a geração pervertida atual. O meu filho ouve, por exemplo, o conjunto ABBA e gosta, mas porquê? Porque eu lhe mostrei a música, o timbre da voz dos cantores e fui cativando ele aos poucos, pergunta se ele ouve os lixos atuais? Essa geração é vítima de seus pais.
Fez e faz sucesso no 🇧🇷 sim, os 2 shows dela no Rock in Rio 1985 foram uns dos mais aplaudidos e elogiados, o que incrementou sua venda de discos em mais de 30% pois o mercado brasileiro estava sendo descoberto por artistas estrangeiros e o movimento PUNK(que se identificava fortem. com Nina por causa das letras e irreverência n palco) na música era influente em tdas a capitais estaduais do país. Essa geração continuou e continua ouvindo-a n internet, tanto qto ouvem Marilyn Manson e The Clash. Mas de fato nem tdo mundo teve a sorte de nascer numa época privilegiada e ímpar na produção de talentos cmo os anos 60, 70 e 80, 🎵🎶 e as últimas gerações se acostumaram e aceitaram consumir todo o lixo musical que o mercado lhes empurrou e que está aí na mídia. Com raras excessões, a partir dos anos90, tudo que se consumiu foi lixo, nas artes, na política e na educação, fazendo o Brasil regredir em relação a países c msm potencial.🤷♂️ Bjos!⚘
Back in the 90s I was passing by a gay bar in West Hollywood and I heard the start of this song and I rushed in because I hadn't heard it in so long since I was a kid and right there, on a pole descended Nina Hagen from a hole in the ceiling wearing roller skates and she performed this song. EPIC!!!!!!!!!!
Remember driving down Greenville Ave in Dallas back when this was out and seeing the video on a screen from a place called the Video Bar or something like that. I stopped in the street to see who it was by.
I was working at a hotel from 2006 to 2009. Lady came down to check out and started going at length about how people on the plane were looking strangely at her. Few seconds later and I realized it was Nina Hagen.
La escuche y vi en video cuando no pasaba de los 11 años, y despues de la era de dvd no sabía como encontrarla, hasta hoy la encuentro, no me arrepiento
New York City is the hottest place For a honeymoon in a hotel room New York City is my favorite place 'Cause I know so many people with a golden face It's always late at night when I wanna go out And New York City has for sure the horniest crowd Especially for me, this is true I have the best time when you're there too Honey, after the show, when we are ready to go We are going disco but before we hit East 7th Street We are going to another disco Disco after disco and shaking our hair to the disco rap AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria The newest club is opening up The newest club is opening up The newest club is opening up New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York Yeah New York City is the hottest place For a honeymoon in a hotel room New York City is a place so nice Everybody says it so they had to name it twice New York my happy love's you, I love you very much New York City has the fanciest rule When you want to live in this town you just have to be a fool After the show when we are ready to go We are going disco but before we hit East 7th Street We are going to another disco Disco, after disco and shaking our hair to the disco rap AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria The newest club is opening up The newest club is opening up The newest club is opening up New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York Yeah It's going hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop Straight up to the top Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop Straight up to the top Let there be light 'cause David Bowie's Gonna be here tonight in New York
My kids couldn't believe this when I showed it to them. They doubly couldn't believe I used to play it. You should have heard Alta sing it back in the day.
I was working at circuit city when this woman asked for help on a camcorder. I said “ you look like Nina Hagen” she replied “I am Nina Hagen”! I’ll never forget what an epic moment that was. She was so awesome.
I ran into her in San Francisco and ended up partying with her all night in approx '83. I found her funny and very mellow which might sound weird.
@@angelmorningstarr9504 such a great story. I think her own stage is a bit different then her every day.
Thats an awesome memory!
@@stephenulmer3781 thank you, it was pretty cool
I made love to her in the late 80’s. Not bragging. She was average in bed.
I love how raw and unpolished artists could be in the 80s and 90s. They were appreciated for authenticity, not a manufactured image.
such a great time to be alive!!!!!!!!!!
From 1971 to today, Nina Hagen has made parents ask their children, “What the hell are you listening to??” 😍🤩❤️
*edited on December 7, 2023
…and makes some children ask their parents, “What the hell are you listening to??”
And if you're lucky, parents want to know more and hear it!
my parents called drunk
My mother raised me on her music. 52 years later and still listening to her.
...and later made children ask their parents...
Absolutely perfect. Lol
No autotune, no other shit, just real voice and music. She's a real artist with one of the greatest female voice possibilities.
She doesn't need one - she was taught to be an opera singer :)
Nah Taylor swift is so much better
@@thugmouth5251 huahuahuauhauha u're funny
her voice is incredible.. she's able to change it to her will.
I think she wanted to be every genre possible because she makes herself sound pop, indie, rock, opera, and hard rock.
Nina Hagen and Grace Jones are the pulsating pulchritude of the 1970s/1980s.
THIS 100%
And Ian Dury
❤️
She's so weird and beautifully angelic and I love it
Honestly, this is the best Nina has ever done! Nothing will ever top this clip, not even the studio version, nothing, ever! Flawless in every detail!
Naturträne is better imho
My old boss was a fan of Nina, anytime he was down or stressed I'd just like shake him and go "WE ARE GOING TO ANOTHER DISCO."...that usually did the trick and got him to laugh.

Dear Annika, please do not even mention those entertainers when discussing Nina Hagen.
kate bush says hi
Yes!
And toyah willcox
@@gabrielevan5527 Love Kate but Nina came first.
I love how she used the delay on the vocals in perfect rhythm. Very creative. I loved this the moment I first saw it on MTV so many years ago.
"Because I am willing to declare myself to world " goosebumps!!!
I love Nina Hagen, I had the pleasure of meeting her - and spending an entire evening with her - she was very approachable - treated me like she knew me forever, she isn't kidding when she says it's always late at night when she wants to go out, we hit Gay Bar after Gay Bar from 10:30pm - 4:00am - I still keep in touch with her.

That's awesome! I went to see her live in her London gig in September (her first gig in the UK in 12 years). Was a wonderful night.
Always a great night to see Nina - she never disappoints!
I wish I MET HER
Bill Carnevale
Awesome Bill, thanks for sharing!
Gosh, I can't get enough of her opera singing. Or any of her singing, for that matter.
I've heard a few different versions of this song, and this one is by far the best. I also love Nina's priceless facial expressions while singing.
What a talented woman. I can't stop listening to her. I really love her.
She was the first woman in music I remember to admire. I was 8 years old, when I first heard this song on the radio, back in 1983. I was mesmerized. I asked my mother to buy the LP “Fearless” and I still have it. After Nina, I began to admire women with exquisite looks, like Annie Lennox and Siouxsie Sioux. Thanks for sharing this video!
Amazing voice : high, low, strong, soft !
She is a punk opera singer!

Everyone says “Oh she had opera training”. Of course she did… But her voice is also extraordinary, the opera training just gave her mastery over her talent.
@@makisjnx007 I don’t think anyone is mentioning her training to denounce her uniqueness, just adding to her authenticity.
I had the pleasure to meet her in the first "Rock in Rio" in 1985. A fantastic artist, amazing, powerful voice !!!!
Nina Hagen and Kate Bush, using their voices as instruments like no one before or after them. We were so lucky, those of us who were kids to 20 something in the 80s.
Best time of my life...
Don’t forget Klaus Nomi.
I 'm listening her first and l'm absolutely impressed 👍👍👍
Nina was our Goddess in the early 80's-saw her at the Wiltern in LA-where Anthony Keidis from Chili Peppers jumped on stage in that HUGE fake fur purple coat-and they did "What It Is"....Awww-now those were FUN days.

My favorite Nina Hagen song😍 She is awesome, no one else will ever have her range. 😎 👍🤩
God, i love her and her vocal range!!! and the haircut, dont forget the haircut!!!

The look, the moves, the voice, the lyrics, the attitude, the energy ... this is shear perfection.
100000% Agree

Her Beauty, Her Voice, Her HAIR!! OMG...that is the Most Amazing hair style I've Ever seen, I fkn Love it and Her!!
Nina is amazing!

She is, but most of her music is not, unfortunately.
This video has had a massive formative influence on my life decisions.
This is insane but splendid
The vocal is beyond human possibilities
Punk is very alive right here
I really wish she had done more english songs... her voice is simply perfection 🥰
This voice range 😍
Shes so one of a kind..
Adelantada para su época, genial ¡¡¡ Madre del Punk.
La mejor!!! Yo me había comprado sus discos de pasta y después los casette
La amabaaaa
Es la mejor aún hoy!!
Si señor tal cual !
Meu Deus! Que voz! Nina Hagen é incrível!
This joint was the shiznit back in the clubs in to 80's. This shit STILL holds up after all these years. And I STILL love me some Nina Hagen. This woman put weirdness on the map. GaGa ain't got SHIT on Nina!!
Gaga ain't got shit, period, lol. We had the best innovators in the 80s.
You put the lime in the coconut and shake it all up! Her performance art is outta this world. I keep coming back for more.
Nina has an incredible fantastic voice range.
In my entire life I have heard this song exactly once. Somewhere around 1985? I have never forgotten it.
Minha infância foi magica e pitoresca com vc na trilha Nina Hagen.
Used to dance to this track and Born in Xiaxax at the 321 Club in Santa Monica waaaaay back in the day in the 80s....anyone out there remember that great club???

SoCalScott10 of course i remember 321 which is now Sassoon. LA was a playground of underage clubs. Our favorites were the Odyssey and Peanuts.
I Love You Nina ❤❤❤❤❤❤ You're My Favorite Artist, You're So Original And Talented
I never thought I'd fangirl over another female lead as much as I do Janis, and yet.
Omg Nina is a Janis Joplin fan too!! Check her Move Over cover >_
I cant believe I found this song...I haven't heard this song since 1983, at a random disco in Orlando Fl.!! It was quite outer worldly, but I was intrigued.
I Love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A superb performer. Very emotional. This is my favorite and one of the greatest songs of the era.
Lindoooooooooooooo!

my favourite song and video on the planet
New York City is the hottest place
For a honeymoon in a hotel room
New York City is my favorite place
'Cause I know so many people with a golden face
It's always late at night when I wanna go out
And New York City has for sure the horniest crowd
Especially for me, this is true
I have the best time when you're there too
Honey, after the show, when we are ready to go
We are going disco but before we hit East 7th Street
We are going to another disco
Disco after disco and shaking our hair to the disco rap
AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria
The newest club is opening up
The newest club is opening up
The newest club is opening up
New York, New York
New York, New York
New York, New York
New York, New York
Yeah
New York City is the hottest place
For a honeymoon in a hotel room
New York City is a place so nice
Everybody says it so they had to name it twice
New York my happy love's you, I love you very much
New York City has the fanciest rule
When you want to live in this town you just have to be a fool
After the show when we are ready to go
We are going disco but before we hit East 7th Street
We are going to another disco
Disco, after disco and shaking our hair to the disco rap
AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria
The newest club is opening up
The newest club is opening up
The newest club is opening up
New York, New York

Our original Harley Quinn
BAM! Perfect! 😎
My kids couldn't believe this when I showed it to them. They doubly couldn't believe I used to play it. You should have heard Alta sing it back in the day.
Nina Diva!!!!
Tout comme Siouxsie, elle a été et restera toujours unique 🖤
The famous Berlin Girl ✌
toujours géniale Nina... Je t'ai tjrs dans mon coeur (moi Française, Bretonne de 52 ans)
