Talk:Mr. Roboto

message: * I call BS on the "most known to generation Y" comment... "Come Sail Away" is clearly the more popular, well known song.. I was born in 1989
* Any information about the apparent intentional misspelling in the song of the word "modern" as "modren".  As in "Modren man" ?  The article does even mention this curiousity. ---- (anonymous)
: Dunno. He definitely sings "modren". Was the band from Canada? That might explain it. Lupine Proletariat 13:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Dennis DeYoung wanted to do rock operas; the rest of the band wanted to rock. DeYoung had a certain amount of power over the rest of the band, because he wrote hit singles that brought in money. But the band hated "Mr Roboto" because it was not rock, and the tour for Kilroy was Here involved the band dressing up in robot costumes, acting out bits of the album's story, and miming to backing tapes. It could not last. Lupine Proletariat 13:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Though copyright naziism prevents us from displaying the full glory of the lyrics here in our information repository, I think a blurb featuring the translation of the Nihongo bits in the song would be useful. I seem to remember a 'himitsu no shiri tai' which has something to do with a secret... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.122.208.51 (talk) 17:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Translation 

message: Just noticed that the translation of the Japanese lyrics is completely retardedly 100% incorrect.
The Japanese lyrics are: 
    どうもありがとうミスターロボット 
    また会う日まで
    どうもありがとうミスターロボット
    秘密を知りたい 
The translation provided is:
    "Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
    For cleaning the dog poop
    Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
    For helping me escape to where I needed to pee"
These are just the English lyrics sung later in the song. Somebody has just assumed that it's a translation. It isn't. The proper translation would be:
    どうもありがとうミスターロボット
    Thank you very much, Mr Roboto
    また会う日まで 
    We meet again on day
    どうもありがとうミスターロボット
    Thank you very much, Mr Roboto
    秘密を知りたい 
    I want to know your secret
This song was also featured in an episode of Two and a Half Men, during which a couple of references are made to its --101.185.93.89 (talk) 11:28, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:StyxMrRoboto.jpg

message: The translation "Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto" is incorrect. "ロボット" is Japanese for "robot", thus the correct translation is "Thank you very much, Mr. Robot."

message: My compliments to the editor(s) who wrote the "Composition" section. This is what a section with that title should be like -- actual information about the musical composition. (I have done this with a number of articles about Pink Floyd songs, such as "Dogs", "Run Like Hell", and various other songs from The Wall.) I haven't even fact-checked the information in this section, or tested any of it out on my piano, but based on what I know of the song, it looks correct. Even if it isn't correct, kudos for trying. Thank you to whoever wrote that section!
