Japanese.
Thank you very much Mr. Roboto
Edit:
The album “Kilroy was here,” by the group Styx tells a fictitious story about a world famous rock star named Kilroy. The story is set in the near future, and each song tells a different part of that story and social meaning. The story briefly goes like this: Dr. Everett Righteous, the founder and leader of a group called MMM (Majority for Musical Morality), has his own television channel and “preaches” about the immorality of rock music. At one of Kilroy’s concerts the MMM storms the stage, captures Kilroy, and sends him to jail with other captured rock and roll stars. Also in this time, Robotos (robots) have taken over the meaningless jobs once done by humans, like factory labor, and work in jails. In Kilroy’s jail the MMM forced mind controlling propaganda at the rock and roll inmates all day. Meanwhile the leader of the rock and roll resistance, Jonathan, jams the signal and replaced it with an outlawed tape of one of Kilroy’s concerts. Kilroy’s hope is reborn and he escapes inside one of the “security guard” robotos. After his escape he leaves the roboto “mask” on while he searches out Jonathan. When he meets up with Jonathan he can finally escape from his “mask.”
This song’s literal meaning depicts his escape from jail, but the true meaning of this song is hidden in the words and expresses Dennis DeYoung’s (the lead vocalist and writer) thoughts about the average blue-collar worker.
He first educates the listeners about the workers in their meaningless lives. He sings of how the workers are human on the inside, but on the outside, treated sub-human, as if they only exist for the company’s profit.
Thank you very much Mr. Robot
Domo Arigato is "thank you" in japanese and it just ryhmes.
I don't get it either. Maybe a true Styx fan can tell us. I enjoy the song, though.
I think that theyre thanking Mr Roboto for the good times, this can be translated according to a persons delight, but thats what I think it means.....
It's Japanese for something similar to "Please, thank-you, Mr. Robot". It was explained to me as a very polite way of saying thank-you in Japanese. It is also a VERY bad song by Styx, who used to be one of my favorite rock groups. It was part of a concept album. The song was actually thanking a robot for doing work that people don't want to do. Why Styx wrote this I'll never know because they were a great band in their earlier days. Maybe they were doing blow or smoking weed when they wrote it.
the song is something about Robots taking over and the humans have to fight in order to stay alive agiant the Robots,
it was back in the 80's where some people really thought that robots were going to get too powerful and take over the world
There is something to get, but I'm not 100% clear on the whole thing. This song came from the album "Kilroy Was Here," which was a concept album about a futuristic society in which rock n' roll was banned. Apparently Kilroy is the leader of a rebellion that wanted the laws banning rock n' roll rescinded. Try Googling the album or looking it up on Wikipedia for more info.
It is a Styx song and part of the "Kilroy was Here" rock opera. It is about a future society where music is banned. Kilroy, a rock-and-roll musician, is thrown in prison for his musical crimes. He escapes prison by disguising himself as one of the cleaning robots - which is what the song "Mr. Roboto" is all about.
