May. 28th, 2010 01:42 pmAn internal review conducted by the Mild Perils has concluded that they need to improve their song procurement processes. “God, it’s like pulling teeth from a stone,” said an exasperated spokesman announcing the band’s latest song, pointing out that their current rate of output indicates that a complete album will probably be ready “some time after Ghana sets up a base on the moon”.
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?
