Music lessons at school were a fine way to piss away an afternoon, weren’t they?

No doubt the teachers thought so too (ours once got us to make up raps to the piano part of ‘Still D.R.E.’ Get ’em young). But if you have to spend a whole day going over the same three-note melody, you may as well go big – which is what one German school teacher did this year.

Behold: Class 1 of Lemmchen Elementary School playing Kraftwerk’s ‘Die Roboter’, in full robot costume, as spotted by Electronic Beats. #crying

More Kraftwerk: see inside their secret live rig and watch the band’s 1970 TV debut.
