Before Kraftwerk, before Devo, there were The Spotniks! From 1962, the Swedish group The Spotniks perform their hit song "The Rocket Man." (via Everlasting Blort)
There's a nice version of this by the Leningrad Cowboys and the Red Army Choir during the Total Balalaika Show in Helsinki, 1994. The Total Balalaika Show is a must see. Here's them doing Happy Together, which gives an idea of what Rocket Man would sound like, if you can find it. https://chawedrosin.wordpress.com/2008/09/19/leningrad-cowboys-happy-together/.
