You met the divine Klaus!!?? For those who love him & never had the privilege of meeting him - & more importantly to preserve the memory of Klaus - could you please elaborate? x
I was so lucky to listen Edson Cordeiro singing Cold Song in a n event remembering Klaus Nomi! I liked so much , i searched for who was Klaus Nomi!! And is magic, so talented!!! To good to this world but also can.t understand why not spoken about!! He .s absolutely amazing!!
Klaus gives me mixed impression of him all the time..there is something so magical about him i can barely put the feeling he gives me in words..:) Such an amazing unique human being.
Rest assured, he's well seen as one of the great artists of the 20th century :) No doubt :) Not only he showed great artistry, but also - facing death - he gave his best performances ever :) Your place in 'heaven' is there, Klaus
Im 55. Discovered him when i was a teen.a long long time ago...my family and i were in the world of all music. My mother was a contre alto ..she used to be against contre tenor..but klaus touched her heart and still her death she always fought he was the best to sing so complex music score...
Whenever I hear his music and see videos of him I can’t help but feel at peace and joyful. I can’t imagine what a lovely human being he must have been. It’s a shame he was taken so soon, but I don’t think the world was ready for everything he had to offer
Simply brilliant! I was already addicted to "Total Eclipse" and I've just listened to this for the first time. I'm 57... how come Klaus passed me by in the 80s??? What a tragedy he passed so soon.
I first heard Klaus on the Rush Limbaugh show. I didn't realize then that he was an actual singer and not someone just making a parody. He was apparently very talented.
I'd forgotten about this old Lesley Gore song until I saw this, It's an amazing cover of the song and I don't know how I got here, never knew about Klaus, but he obviously has talent, it's a shame his life was cut short
Puts quite a spin on the line: I'm young, And I like to be young! I was just a kid when I first heard him sing this, now I'm an ol' geezer. He's been forever young to me.
I see something mystical and aesthetic in Klaus Nomi at the same time. I believe that he would have had the potential to become a big star like Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley if he had been to live longer.
I think I-Tunes should consider picking up this song and adding it to their library of music. I can't find this song on I-Tunes. My dad and I like this song alot.
You don't own me I'm not just one of your many toys You don't own me Don't say I cant go with other boys Don't tell me what to do And don't tell me what to say Please when I go out with you Don't put me on display Cause You dont own me Dont try to change me in any way You dont own me Dont tie me down cause I'll never stay I dont tell you what to say I dont tell you what to do So just let me be myself Thats all I ask of you I 'm young and I love to be young I'm free and I want to be free To live my life the way I want To say and do whatever I please Dont tell me what to do And dont tell me what to say And please when I go out with you Dont put me on display I dont tell you what to say And I dont tell you what to do
I had had his albums and used to listen to him a lot in the 80's and have just found out he is dead. Back before the internet these things could pass you by - amazing really I had no idea he was already dead when I got into his music in 84.
Heyo I actually was! so lucky... worked w/ Nomi & watched his nearby apt. when he was away... received a cutting from his big houseplant... was signed to the same production company... took him a cassette set of Wagner's FLYING DUTCHMAN when he was hospitalized...Glad to see his 'cult' a-flourishing and keep imagining how it might be next century, with Klaus an unlikely [darkhorse] AI angelic Avatar/religious presence/artistic figure!
Oh! Klaus! Doing that right here! with those boyz! Oh you insane child! And yet, you killed no one in malice - no patroidiotic or religiospastic rationazism. Only love for whoever might accept love. The true starman. SINGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
@kuechenuschi to answer your question out of context, where an artist is from is one way of gauging how likely one is to see them in concert or to know of their next album. It's a personal proximity thing for some.
Dear Klaus, I'd like to apologize that your work once again attracted some bigots that have to spread their narrow-minded and homophobic hate here. Phobia is always a disorder. Let's hope we can help those poor souls.
Okay. Now somebody make the 'movie' about him. I know they did a documentary. A movie would star Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Guide) with Klaus' likeness when he's skinny. Make IT!
am 24. Januar wäre er 69 Jahre geworden, kein Alter... viel zu früh musste er gehen :( Ich werde an ihn denken wie jedes Jahr, denn da habe ich selber Geburtstag... Never forget this man :)
Klaus is one of those singers you have to stumble across or have someone tell you about.
Your right in target "- Paul parker
i saw him portrayed in a cartoon called Venture Brothers.
I was looking for the documentary about the “showgirls” movie, “you dont nomi” and i came across this, And i’m really glad i did lol
E. I. B. !
Yes, and those are the best artists
I would have loved to have met this brilliant guy
Same. What a rare bird he was. Such a voice, and seemed like a beautiful person. RiP, Klaus
klaus' cakes were lovely. I used to go over to his St. Mark's apartment for coffee and strudel
You met the divine Klaus!!?? For those who love him & never had the privilege of meeting him - & more importantly to preserve the memory of Klaus - could you please elaborate? x
Please tell more.
Holy shit! You serious?!
Are you kidding me? This is awesome!
For real ?
I was so lucky to listen Edson Cordeiro singing Cold Song in a n event remembering Klaus Nomi! I liked so much , i searched for who was Klaus Nomi!! And is magic, so talented!!! To good to this world but also can.t understand why not spoken about!! He .s absolutely amazing!!
Klaus Nomi does the coolest covers, i swear man...
Klaus gives me mixed impression of him all the time..there is something so magical about him i can barely put the feeling he gives me in words..:) Such an amazing unique human being.
He was a fascinating performer with an amazing voice. From what I've read he was a very good baker, too.
gunhed60 lol
gunhed60 lol
indeed he was a baker , before he went full space opera singer
Just a genius.
Very spectacular!
A perfect cover of a very fine song. I can’t believe I didn’t know Nomi covered this... til tonight!
Mar 10, 2024 and I just heard this.
had to hold back a tear , why has the world forgotten you Klaus Nomi ?
We do not forget. Love you Klaus.
Great cover!
The song is written by John Madara and David White and originally recorded by Lesley Gore in 1963.
I guess it must be a requirement to be flaming to do the song
Rest assured, he's well seen as one of the great artists of the 20th century :) No doubt :) Not only he showed great artistry, but also - facing death - he gave his best performances ever :) Your place in 'heaven' is there, Klaus
''you don't nomi'' :-) brilliant poster!
Im 55. Discovered him when i was a teen.a long long time ago...my family and i were in the world of all music. My mother was a contre alto ..she used to be against contre tenor..but klaus touched her heart and still her death she always fought he was the best to sing so complex music score...
Who knows what this genius might have achieved. R.I.P. Another masterpiece. 😊
Indeed such a pitty his eaxtraordinary talent left this world so soon.
I don't know why artists like Klaus Nomi are so undervalued and others with so little talent are so acclaimed that unfair -.- my humble opinion
Because of the lack of artists among us spectators and listeners
Maybe some have no taste in extraordinarily good music and performers. My guess.
@ManuMinzblatt aaa
@ManuMinzblatt aaaaa
Mediocrity has a tendency to rise to the surface like scum on a soup-especially in the Stati Uniti.
I miss this man so incredibly much. It still feels like I lost a friend.
I as well. Now I Must go to a room to cry.
Whenever I hear his music and see videos of him I can’t help but feel at peace and joyful. I can’t imagine what a lovely human being he must have been. It’s a shame he was taken so soon, but I don’t think the world was ready for everything he had to offer
Im 27 and a fan of Klaus Nomi. My highschool sweetheart and I used to draw doodles of him in our love notes to each other back in 2010...
That's very cute
The sweetest
Happy 30th, friend!
People these days NEED THIS SONG so they can wake up
Was für eine tolle Stimme,dazu noch seine Gestik❣️Schade,ich hätte ihn gerne Live früher gesehen!!!
He was incredibly beautiful, I can't get over it!
This guy was ahead of his time with a rebellious outrageous figure then BOOM!! An unexpected huge operatic vocal capability ❤ lost too soon
Discover his music, love it and then discover he died long before he got the level of success he deserved. Such a shame.
Too bad he's no long with us, I can imagine him and Nina Hagen going on tour together, it would have been hysterical!
I've totally thought this before! I think Klaus and Nina would've been amazing!!
+Andrew Tornadoboy YahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhNinaHagen and Klaus Nomi together would be great
It would be amazing
Simply brilliant! I was already addicted to "Total Eclipse" and I've just listened to this for the first time. I'm 57... how come Klaus passed me by in the 80s??? What a tragedy he passed so soon.
tremenda versión, gran voz de Klaus Nomi ! ! !
A perfect song for Klaus
I' m old and I like to be old.
Grüsse aus Österreich.
Nomi is my greatest heart break lightener. And my BEST. Simply EL OH WE E: forever
Да! ❤
I first heard Klaus on the Rush Limbaugh show. I didn't realize then that he was an actual singer and not someone just making a parody. He was apparently very talented.
Yes, and if there is any justice Limbaugh's in the hell he deserves.
@@johnbroussard4856 Nope. Rush Limbaugh is in Heaven because he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord.
@@MuttTheHoopleno he's not lmao
Nomi ain't dead, he just went home
He was a satanic AIDs carrier. Pure trash.
@@TheresaPowers and what have you done with your life, you hateful bigot?
@@TheresaPowers OMG....Where is the Christ in Christian?
@@TheresaPowers Care to explain
@@TheresaPowers but you're watching his vids on youtube. explain.
klaus is FABULOUS! wonderful!
I'd forgotten about this old Lesley Gore song until I saw this, It's an amazing cover of the song and I don't know how I got here, never knew about Klaus, but he obviously has talent, it's a shame his life was cut short
thanks for posting this, Klaus was an original even on a cover version
Listening to my favorite song played by RUSH LIMBAUGH on the day Rush passed away. RIP EIB !!!
Oh yes I remember he would play this on the making fun of certain Democrats and this damn song is so captivating I'm a fan of Klaus nomi now!!
@@sleepingrabbit4011da da lut da da lut da da lut lut lut lut lut! gay rights update!
The most suit smile ever. We will remember you forever. An angel left us.
Magnificent!! I love it!! Thank you for sharing it!!
I can't get over how sweet he was
Neither can I - and I don't want to
Absolutely astonishing !!!!! Can see his influence in artists from steve strange to also latín músics as miranda and Maxi Trusso
Puts quite a spin on the line:
I'm young,
And I like to be young!
I was just a kid when I first heard him sing this, now I'm an ol' geezer. He's been forever young to me.
I see something mystical and aesthetic in Klaus Nomi at the same time. I believe that he would have had the potential to become a big star like Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley if he had been to live longer.
Very nicely made film. What an astonishing voice; what a great talent, what a beautiful performer.
Quelle voix, quelle musique!!!
HIV really robbed this world of some real treasures!
Truly special people! Thank goodness for video...it brings a smile from the past!
Amazing RIP Klaus
There's only one word for this: TALENT
What a freak! Love him!
R.I.P. you silly, talented man.....
This is the most different version of this song,everyone else just do the same as the original,Klaus is genius and unique!
I think I-Tunes should consider picking up this song and adding it to their library of music. I can't find this song on I-Tunes. My dad and I like this song alot.
listening to the brennan at home, this came on forgot I had it. Brilliant Klaus.
Would love to have one of those Street posters ❤

You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I cant go with other boys
Don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
Please when I go out with you
Don't put me on display Cause
You dont own me
Dont try to change me in any way
You dont own me
Dont tie me down cause I'll never stay
I dont tell you what to say
I dont tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
Thats all I ask of you
I 'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I want to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
Dont tell me what to do
And dont tell me what to say
And please when I go out with you
Dont put me on display
I dont tell you what to say
And I dont tell you what to do
WE LOVE YOU. WE MISS YOU!
❤
HE CAME FROM OUTER SPACE
TO CAPTIVATE THE HUMAN RACE
Not capture or enrapture
So ahead of he's time 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤Grateful for he's gifts
No se si alcanza la palabra amor para nombrar todo lo que siento por el gran Klaus
El amor es el sentimiento más elevado. Por supuesto que es suficiente. No podría ser más.
I had had his albums and used to listen to him a lot in the 80's and have just found out he is dead. Back before the internet these things could pass you by - amazing really I had no idea he was already dead when I got into his music in 84.
Как же ОН уникален! Гений с детским взглядом! У КЛАУСА чистая душа!
In the description, it is stated this video is *FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY
*
Yes, it is! :-)
ノミ様のエプロン姿が可愛い‼️
I woke up this morning with "the girl don't love me" blues, so first thing I had to come listen to Klaus.
Great tribute video..... beautiful use of clips.
Very good stuff !
Klaus was a visionary
One of my favorite singers
"Klaus Nomi has assumed room temperature." -R.L.
Da da lut da da lut! Da da lut da lut lut lut lut lut da!
Imagine being friends with Klaus Nomi 💕 ✨✨✨
Heyo I actually was! so lucky... worked w/ Nomi & watched his nearby apt. when he was away... received a cutting from his big houseplant... was signed to the same production company... took him a cassette set of Wagner's FLYING DUTCHMAN when he was hospitalized...Glad to see his 'cult' a-flourishing and keep imagining how it might be next century, with Klaus an unlikely [darkhorse] AI angelic Avatar/religious presence/artistic figure!
Это было бы счастьем!
@@georgeyelliottthat’s just amazing
Very well put together, I love this song more and more every day!
Oh! Klaus! Doing that right here! with those boyz! Oh you insane child! And yet, you killed no one in malice - no patroidiotic or religiospastic rationazism. Only love for whoever might accept love. The true starman. SINGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

Absolut Genial...
He never died, he went back to his home planet after his mission of enlightenment was through. :3
Dear Klaus, I'd like to apologize that your work once again attracted some bigots that have to spread their narrow-minded and homophobic hate here. Phobia is always a disorder. Let's hope we can help those poor souls.
strangefruit42 😱
Sounds like you got a new bulb for your projector
He made a pie.😃
unforgotten, Klaus Nomi!
I so love him! Klaus was such a special person,true twisted genious! R.I.P. friend! :(
Awesome song and video! 5/5
I love your songs Nomi !!!!!
"I'M NOT JUST ONE OF YOUR LITTLE TOYS"!!
He is fantastic!
Nice videao ! Congrats ! amazing singer !
Amazing in such a short lifespan he created such an unforgettable enigma all on his own.
Klaus Nomi was… more than a "SIMPLE MAN"
He was a diva. :o)
I agree with you 100%!
Klaus was born on January 24, 1944.. We miss him and all that he brought to the Avant Garde scene in the 70's/80's music era..
Freedom of speech doesn't mean you're immune from getting called out and told your opinion is fucking toxic.
if my child will hear nomi, i would be proud of him.
Klaus was beyond cool, like something that came from the 4th millennia
uno de los mejores videos de klaus nomi que he visto
Excellent!!!
Superb video? Where did you get all the material from? Most of it I hadn't ever watched, even though I'm quite a fan of Nomi... Greetings.
I love this man. He is so special. The Tenn.girl.
A really great cover!
Klaus Nomi - the undisputable Godfather of New Wave Rock n Roll!
Great!
Don't tie me down..... coz I never stay!
All this eccentric stuff had been done many years earlier in the 20's and the 1930's in Berlin cabaret. A little bit goes a long way.
Okay. Now somebody make the 'movie' about him. I know they did a documentary. A movie would star Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Guide) with Klaus' likeness when he's skinny. Make IT!
"You don't Nomi" Oh yes I do!
am 24. Januar wäre er 69 Jahre geworden, kein Alter... viel zu früh musste er gehen :( Ich werde an ihn denken wie jedes Jahr, denn da habe ich selber Geburtstag... Never forget this man :)
un super artiste partit trop tôt comme bien d'autre quel dommage
