Sheesh!  I can't believe this hasn't been played for 3 years....  Glad I landed on it today hitting the PSD button from another unsavory song.  Prefer this a whole lot more!

Is this about the DC Metro or the Berlin U-Bahn?  Either one is really pedestrian in excitement.  Now in the old days, the East German Strssenbahn (S-Bahn) was really scary.  The old overhead stations abandoned in the West were creepy, too, except for Mexikoplatz which was full of hippie girls, dope smoke and a fabulous coffee shop and bakery.  All gone now, I suppose, along with the KGB that rode the U-Bahn on the Purple Line past the Zoostrasse platform.

Saw her at San Francisco's Folsom St. Fair this summer, and she still looked amazing.

That synth solo is way abrasive - Vote: 2.

Riding on the DC Metro isn't nearly as exciting and upbeat as this song.

oh gag.

The New Wave fad in the early 80's was for real. You were apparently pretty hip dancing to, and dressing like, these guys in high school

I think of the Alkaline Trio cover.

I'm gelling my hair and putting on my pastel blue trousers with a stripy shirt...oh and playing pacman...the arcade version obviously

Man, how I hated that song back in the days. I'm getting flashbacks of plastic synthnoises lumbering out of speakers in rooms full of drunk teens with mullets hollering along to the alternative lyric Take My Brain Away.

Just say no. ;)

For me, this is a hard song to rate. In its own little universe it's pretty much perfect, but when compared to everything else the flaws are more visible. Taking that into account, I think a 7 is good.

Excellent.

I like the song, but every time I hear it I always think of the System of a Down cover.

How the heck did I have this marked as a 4??!?!?  Must'uv been a mistake.  Solid 6 easy.

Berlin ROCKS!!!!

Weird but good.

"Take My Breath Away" was a cover?  I can't find who did it originally.

Yes of course. The only cover the band ever did and the song that broke them up.

How about "Take My Breath Away"?

Yuck..this is what is bad about the 80's.

"I remember hating you for loving me."

Always loved that line.  This is 80s cheese, but it's good cheese!

PLA-EEEZE Isn't there another Berlin song you could play?

Terri was always one of those people who factored into at least a few of the questions on the purity tests running around back in the mid 80's. :)
