"Das Model" (spelling on album "Das Modell"; English version title "The Model") is a song recorded by the electro-pop group Kraftwerk in 1978; written by musicians Ralf Hütter and Karl Bartos, with artist Emil Schult collaborating on the lyrics. It is featured on the album, Die Mensch-Maschine (The Man-Machine). It is one of the bands most accessible and melodic songs.
First released as a 7" single in Germany (B-side "Neonlicht"), under its English translation the song was eventually included on the B-side of the "Computer Love" single released in July 1981, which reached #36 in the UK charts. When radio DJs started playing the B-side, EMI re-issued the single in December 1981 apparently against the bands wishes with "The Model" as the A-side. It reached #1 in February 1982 and spent a total of 21 weeks in the top 75 of the UK singles charts.

Sie ist ein Modell und sie sieht gut aus
Ich nehme sie heut gerne mit zu mir nach Haus
Sie wirkt so kuehl, and sie kommt niemand ran
Doch vor der Kamera da zeigt sie was sie kann
Sie trinkt im Nachtklub immer Sekt (korrekt)
Und hat hier alle Maenner abgecheckt
Im Scheinwerferlicht ihr junges Laecheln strahlt
Sie sieht gut aus und Schoenheit wird bezahlt
Sie stellt sich zu Schau fuer das Konsumprodukt
Und wird von millionen Augen angeguckt
Ihr neues Titelbild ist einfach Fabelhaft
Ich muss sie wiedersehen, ich weiss sie hats geschaft
For Kraftwerk Anoraks -

Shes a model and shes looking good
Id like to take her to my place
Shes working coolly, she wont be touched by anyone
Though, before the camera she shows what she can do
In the night club shes drinking only Champagne
And has checked out every man
In the floodlight her young smiles glitter
Shes looking good, and beauty will be paid
She exposes herself for consumer products
And is being seen by millions of eyes
Her new cover is simply gorgeous
I must see her again, I know shes made it.
