Шаблон:Infobox song "Engel 07" (released as "Angel 07" in English) is a song by German synthpop band Hubert Kah, which was released in 1984 as the lead single from the band's second studio album Golden Zeiten. "Engel 07" was written by Hubert Kemmler (music) and Mario Killer (lyrics), and produced by Michael Cretu and Шаблон:Ill. The song reached No. 30 on the German Singles Chart.[1]

A re-recorded English language version of the song, "Angel 07", was released as a single in 1985. The English lyrics were written by Timothy Touchton. In the US, "Angel 07" was released from the soundtrack of the 1985 American comedy action film Gotcha!.[2][3]

In 1986, a Japanese version of the song was recorded by Megumi Shiina as "Change Me!" [4] The Japanese lyrics were written by Hiromi Mori.[5]

Promotion

On German TV, the band performed the song on Na sowas! on 9 May 1984,[6] Der Spielbude on 9 August 1984,[7] and ZDF-Hitparade on 17 January 1985.[8] A music video was filmed to promote the English version of the song. It was directed by Pete Cornish.[9]

Critical reception

Upon its release, Cash Box listed the single as one of their "feature picks" during June 1985. They commented: "Hubert Kah scores with a sheen-pop outing reminiscent of fellow German, Peter Schilling. A good international feel, a perfect record for summertime CHR."[10]
