Talk:Mr. Roboto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- 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)

I heard this was the song that tore the band apart. Anyone know anything about this and if true willing to add it to the article? (unsigned comment by 06:35, 5 October 2005 66.75.49.213)
- 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)
- I'll put it another way. Imagine you are in a rock group. In your own mind the group is a credible, grown-up rock band like contemporaries such as Pink Floyd or The Who. Would you prefer to be remembered for "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "Behind Blue Eyes", or "Mr Roboto"? Lupine Proletariat 13:35, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

- The users 133.20.16.171, Revertus Maximus, Mr. reverto, and R. Evert are presumably all the same person. Since you seem insistant on repeatedly reverting back to a specific and very old version of this article, perhaps you can be more productive and discuss here the reasons why you think that version is better. There have been many additions and removals to the article since then, and you probably are only in disagreement with a few of those changes and not all. Although providing song lyrics is a noble goal, there may be legal copyright issues with that; linking to an external site with lyrics is probably safer. -- Bovineone 07:11, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
WHAT A SWEET SONG! political commentary at its worst 80s fashion!

[edit] Translation
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).
