I loved that song, and the video too!

It's a neat song, and catchy as hell.  It's just weird. 

Also, I keep expecting him to go into the Axel F theme from Beverly Hills Cop, and when it doesn't, it perpetually subverts my expectations!

It was one of the first break-beat dancing songs I remember.

along with this from Kraftwerk, which I think is actually in the movie "Breakin'":

Dude, Beverly Hills Cop came out about a year and a half after "Rockit."

Harold Faltermeyer completely ripped off Herbie Hancock!

When you rip somebody off, rip off someone great, I always say.

Never heard that before, but it's kinda cool, sans the lame vocals.

Lame vocals were a calling card for Kraftwerk, alongside their too-thin synthesized soundscape.  One of my college roommates was way into them.  I liked them okay but a little goes a very, very, VERY long way.

Nobody our age should be "way in" to Kraftwerk. 
I respect what they did for the time, but it isn't something you should listen to for anything more than effect. Unless you're using oscillators and waveform generators to create synth sounds from basic electrical objects, they're best enjoyed as a concept.

Same with Vangelis. Yeah, he had some listenable hits like "Chariots of Fire" and of course "Hymne" when you're trying to sell table wine:

Yeah he was one of those guys who intentionally liked a band because nobody had ever heard of them, and the moment anyone mainstream said they liked the band, he'd be over it.

Great guy but he was definitely an early onset hipster.
