On the American Top 40 radio show in October 1983, Casey Kasem mentioned this performance. Taco would appear in a department store window dressed as a puppet, promoting his single. The idea was for him to perform and have a sizeable crowd gather around. Taco's record company hoped that if enough people liked what they heard, they would go inside the store to buy the record.

Roland, is there any footage of Taco performing any of the material from "After Eight" in front of a live audience at the time of the album's release? He must have done a few live appearance to support the album. I would love to see that.

The 1933 movie The Bowery with Wallace Beery, George Raft & Fay Wray let us see the "Puttin' On The Ritz" fashion look in that era. Watch when Steve Brodie went to see Lucy Calhoun at Chuck Connor house, the kind of outfit he was wearing to impress the girl. He even had white spats on his shoes and pants with stripes. He had mitts on, he was wearing a derby hat and was walking with stick. He was the super duper. Great song Taco!

Kraftwerk didn’t consistently have hit singles in Germany, so it’s likely that despite how unique and influential they were, their appeal was relatively niche even there.
