Inspired by the "Flash" site above I included this link. It has actually nothing to do with Mercedes-Benz, except if you watch the music-clip closely you will notice that following the VW beetle there will be a MB fintail driving by. The song is by one of my favourite bands in the early 80's. This is a German band called Kraftwerk. Visit their main site or try this song directly; Numbers, or this one; Robots
