Dentaku

Right now my very favourite musical thing is listening to a delighted Japanese crowd yell along with the words to Dentaku on the Kraftwerk live album. Can anyone confirm that this song is literally a translation of Pocket Calculator? For all I know they could be saying "We attack at dawn!".


EDIT: Okay, I have it on good authority* that this is what Kraftwerk are actually singing:

My pocket calculator
Full of military data

By pressing down a special key
We can attack them tactically

The German and Japanese peoples must reclaim their rightful place in history and destroy American hegemony

Where's me jumper?
Where's me jumper?
