You could pick up a remastered copy of Kraftwerk’s The Man-Machine (along with seven other albums) come October 5. In the mean time, enjoy The Model from the regular old copy, along with Big Black’s noisy version of The Model.

Lyrics:

She’s a model and she’s looking good
I’d like to take her home that’s understood
She plays hard to get, she smiles from time to time
It only takes a camera to change her mind

She’s going out tonight whilst drinking just champagne
And she has been checking nearly all the men
She’s playing her game and you can hear them say
She’s looking good for beauty we will pay

She’s posing for consumer products now and then
For every camera she gives the best she can
I saw her on the cover of a magazine
Now she’s a big success I want to meet her again
