I found a poorly translated Japanese to English spelling and it automatically made me think of this picture, so I made this

Kraftwerk - Sex Object

Ah yes my favourite band, Kraftwerk: a man with a jaw I can perfectly fit a protractor to, tall angry seagull? Is he wearing mascara or does he really look that pretty, and a child.

And now for the other three. Ralf orchid with a butterfly, Wolfgang rose with a wasp, and Karl tulip with ladybugs.

We have checked a lot of pop music in the languages other than English to notice how the different countries' productions influenced the tunes and to observe the tongues don't matter much. Yes, this sounds weird, but check Kraftwerk to make my point clearer. I mean, they made most of their albums in two versions, i.e. German and English, though would they have needed to? While I would claim they were really sharp in their lyrics for their genre, the words they sang didn't resonate as much as their soundscapes. The tune in the link, for instance, has a stronger melancholy, if you ask me, in the original variant, yet both of the two editions remain quite sad thanks to the sonic environment that was so alien for the time. They hit their emotional beats thanks to their electronica.

Happy 40th anniversary to arguably one of the most important albums in history, and inarguably one of my favourites.
