Featuring Cybronica on the Germanphone

Verse 1
i don’t want another coffee
don’t want any dessert
don’t want to see a movie
don’t want to sit and flirt

don’t want to be inside
gazing in each others’ eyes
i don’t want to see a show
i just want you in my boat

Chorus
Aber es ist zu heiss! (But it is too hot!)
Nein! We row!
Die Sonne zu hell! (The sun too bright!)
HEAVE-HO!
Die Ufer zu weit! (The shore too far!)
Nein! We row!
Dein Boot ist zu schnell! (Your boat is too fast!)
JOIN ME ON MY PLEASANT ROW!!!!!!

Verse 2

I don’t want to bring you flowers
don’t want to talk for hours
don’t want to be your prince
deciphering your hints

I don’t want to meet your mom
or pretend to read your palm
i don’t want to sit and coast
i want you to row my boat

Bridge
Ich liebe die Sonne, weil ich um Schönheit liebe;
Ich liebe den Frühling, weil ich um Jungend liebe;
Ich liebe die Meerfrau, weil ich um Schätze liebe;
Ich liebe dich nicht, weil du nur dein Boot liebst.

(I love the sun, because I love for beauty,
I love the spring, because I love for youth,
I love the mermaid, because I love for wealth,
I do not love you, because you only love your boat.)

Since NE started this year there has usually been 1 song per round that has made me want to write reviews so I could share my opinion on that particular song. On this occasion it's this one. It is absolutely hilarious. Obviously you've parked in the "row your boat" camp and the verses are fine in setting up the premise, but those choruses are genius. The massively over the top metal and erotically delivered german are incredibly entertaining. The verses are perfectly passable in a 90/00s alt rock type way but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's just waiting for that chorus to kick back in.

TLB: Okay, now I know for sure you didn't play that guitar, but I do love the African-style riffing. I'm kinda sad that the synthy arps take over more but those are good too, I just prefer the guitar sample. Generally I like this. Might need a few more listens to stick in my brain, as it doesn't have a super memorable bit save for Vom's spoken interlude. It does bop along energetically though.

Max B: Well isn't this a jaunty little number. The narrator's goofy obliviousness is quite amusing. On a technical note I do appreciate your ability to play your instruments in time with the song. Seems obvious but I've noticed a few entries here lately that seem to mess up their drum rolls, so kudos to you for redoing your take until you actually got it right (unless you got it right first time, in which case go back to the factory, YOU ROBOT!)

Dude. This is cool. Really cool. Then I read the lyric and I was like, what the flying fuck? Then I listened a couple of more times. And then I thought, this is cool. Really cool.
