I just entered Computer Love into Google Search,
I'm about to click on the link "Kraftwerk-Computer Love on Last FM" ( To listen to the song)
Urrrgg, they want me to buy it- so I'm going to do another search now, refining it to:
Computer Love-Kraftwerk
I found the lyrics on Lyricsdownload.com:
All lines sung twice]
Computer love
Computer love
Another lonely night
Stare at the TV screen
I don't know what to do
I need a rendezvous
Computer love
Computer love
I call this number
For a data date
I don't know what to do
I need a rendezvous
computer love
computer love
I just listened to it on ILIKE.com, and I realize that the one we listened to in class was a complete remix, because the original has male vocals- so the search continues:
I'm now searching for Computer Love-Remix:
and found this video on youTUBE
I still don't think this is what I was looking for,
here's another version:
LOL this is pretty funny!
This one is pretty clever:
it's the SIMS- def computer love
Here it is live: with the live talkie box- Zap and Rogger
I just did a search for Computer Love-female Vox Remix and am not finding anything....
I'm going to keep looking!
The most popular remix seems to be by Zap and Roger
The Beastie Boys have a remix too:
you can listen to it on this site: http://www.hardtofindrecordsrecordstore.com/mp3/MR247107_2.mp3
but there are no vocals on it, I just realized it's a break beat for DJ's to play.
It appears Jay Z did a remix as well, but when I went to go listen to it the site wanted me to sign up and I said no.
I found a site that is dedicated to Kraftwork influences:

Here's some french site: http://musique.fluctuat.net/kraftwerk/computerlove-remix-t25428.html
I'm looking on dozens of pages- I can't seem to find the exact one we listened to in class : (
When all is said and done, this song seems to be significant because it is expressing modern forms of love, computer love. The lyrics of the song are very relevant, and I'm sure more then one online dating company has licensed "Compute Love" for a commercial or two. It's a fun song, it's very current, and it's been remixed various times by various artists- because of it is fun yet meaningful. It expresses a certain loneliness that the computer age has helped create with forms of isolation, and virtual connections.
