Turn on the volume and sing along! At the end of the day this is a forum about a German car brand or what?

This reminds me of a thought I had, if you can choose to be whatever celebrity, I'd definitely choose actor over a musician. It must be soul-crushing and/or insanely boring to be performing the same song for 31 years. No wonder Adam Duritz virtually never sang their biggest hit in the same way.

You don't have the same prb for actors, they don't go around having live performances of their past movies/shows w you watching them slowly degrade over the years.

Give it a listen...

The instrumentation is a shamisen (plucked strings), drums and an electric bass. The background singers are of course dressed in kimonos. Great stuff!

Grrr... the original version won't load; here's a more modern version...

I have no idea what they are singing about but the music is no different than Adam & The Ants (within reason). I like it.
