About This Track
According to the Computer Love Songfacts, the subject matter of this song, looking for romance via the computer, was a remarkable prediction of the future as it was written many years before online dating. In the early 1980s computers were large, impersonal, incommunicative things and not many could have foreseen their use as a vehicle for communicating with others.

all you coldplay haters - chris martin requested and received approval from kraftwerk to use the melody. so it's not really a rip off. <----- This. There are lots of reasons to hate Coldplay, but that isn't one of them.

I heard this song on the radio I realized these commercial motherfuckers ripped hipster and obscure band Coldplay (you guys probably don't know them don't even bother searching too obscure lol). Fucking mainstream shits think they have the right to steal other's people's music's

absolute classic. I like this better than the version from The Mix. I wouldn't mind if the song was even several minutes longer

Actually, it doesn't really bother me at all. I don't like Coldplay, Kraftwerk is great. Coldplay took some inspiration from Kraftwerk. They came close to copying the original material. Oh well.

I don't know how I feel about having first heard this as a Coldplay song. I guess it doesn't really bother me, especially if they requested permission to use the melody. It would have been nice if they gave credit more obviously, though, just because they changed so little compared to the original.

Take stunning electronic song, change it into lame pop song, aquire money and fame. No, I'm not talking about José Gonzales.

Chris Martin apparently sent a letter to Kraftwerk in german seeking permission for the melody. Got a letter back saying......"Yes". Why do I find that amusing?

Kraftwerk quite clever to see that in 1981 we would be addicted to computers in the way we are,Computer love now thats possible,as for Coldplay they actually credit kraftwerk for their part in the tune.Thats a fact.
