Kraftwerk cover video by German school children is making people cry
A video of German school children covering an iconic song by electronic band Kraftwerk is prompting an outpouring of emotion on social media.
The online film shows members of the Kinder der 1. Klasse at GTS Lemmchen Mainz-Mombach school performing 1977 number The Robots, while dressed in homemade cardboard costumes.
Having only just surfaced after being posted in June, it has triggered a range of mainly delighted reactions on twitter.
Suited and booted in cardboard robot outfits, the rendition adds more than a touch of cuteness to a song that Kraftwerk used actual robots to perform on tour.
