Wir Tanzen im 4-Eck - Everything2.com

The strange and artsy German band Die Tödliche Doris ("The Deadly Doris") released the song "Tanz im Quadrant" ("Dance in a square") in 1980 on a six-song self-titled EP also known as 7 tödliche Unfälle im Haushalt (7 Deadly Household Accidents), the title of its first track.

That record sounds a lot like their contemporaries Einstürzende Neubauten, and "Tanz im Quadrant" will certainly please those who like their tunes harsh, atonal, monotonous, driving, and authoritative.

The Stereo Total version ("Wir Tanzen im 4-Eck," or "We are dancing in a square") is markedly more chirpy, disco, and sexy. The Felix Kubin remix ("Wir Tanzen Kompliziert," or "We're dancing complicated") harkens back just a tad to the original, ending in some kind of crazy robot meltdown. Both Stereo Total versions are available on the 2002 re-release of Musique Automatique.

This is the song Stereo Total customarily use to end their shows, abandoning instruments to dance with their audience. Good people!
