Aha! It's Coldplay's "Talk".

According to The Kraftwerk Influence: Samples, it "uses the main melody from Computer Love. Apparently they wrote a personal letter to Ralf and Florian to request permission and got it."

Kraftwerk's "Computer Love":

Coldplay's "Talk":

Most humble apologies for confusing Coldplay and the White Stripes, to fans of either.

And to think, it's only three years after Coldplay released the album with "Talk" on it...

Re: Kraftwerk Fan since 1974

Hmm. I dunno, I listened to a few samples from Basskraft and I don't dig their take on it. But I'll definitely be a Kraftwerk fan for a long time.
