Over at the guilty pleasures thread, our Matthew Richardson mentioned he loves European pop sung in English by performers who don't have a firm grasp on the language. That's the principal reason I like laughing at Tokio Hotel singles, because these ladie-dudes aren't even writing their own lyrics, and half of them don't make any sense; "I'm automatic for you" sings the lead singer during their new single "Automatic," which judging by the video, is literally about being someone's car. Plus there's some totally rad robot makeout scenes that my dishwasher found ribald and disgusting.
Tokio Hotel's Automatic is due out on Oct. 2.
Tokio Hotel isn't included in my love of poorly worded lyrics.
Haha, well I liked the video. Just enough 'WTF?' moments for my liking.
Also, where does the lead singer sing 'I'm Automatic for you'? I couldn't find it.
Chirupee
is this proven ja??

Well, where do I begin? Bill & Tom Kaulitz do write their own lyrics . . . in German. Why? Because they are a GERMAN band. Then their lyrics are translated to English, which isn't word for word because the song wouldn't be able to be sung the same way due to syllables, etc. Look up the lyrics with the German to English translation and I think you'll get it. Duh. You have no idea what you're talking about, so your FIRM GRASP of our language does you no good when you speak in ignorance. I'd like to see you go to Germany and attempt even a one minute conversation in German. Nuff said.

They are soooo writing their lyrics themselves. Don't say things you don't know anything about. And he sings "you're automatic to me", not "I'm automatic to you". Stupid.
