'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; English version title: The Man-Machine. It is one of the band's most accessible and melodic songs.
First released as a 7 inch 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 number 36 in the UK charts.
When radio DJs started playing the B-side, EMI re-issued the single in December 1981 – apparently against the band's wishes – with 'The Model' as the A-side. It reached number 1 in February 1982 and spent a total of 21 weeks in the top 75 of the UK singles charts.
