Topic: Funhouse Karaoke. Entry 1 - Labo Arrigato Mr. Roboto Kit

[Khushrenada]

In the grand Khushrenada tradition of throwing stuff at the walls and seeing what sticks, here's the latest in my R&D Forum Testing of ideas. The idea is to take a song and give it a bit of a video game twist with a mix of jokes based on giving it new images with the lyrics or tweaking the lyrics a bit. In this case, I'm using the classic Mr. Roboto by Styx.


You can find that all-time classic here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlXRRxc0TLE You may want to listen along with the song as you scroll along with the lyrics given below. I think it's a great song so it's win/win to do that.

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai



You're wondering who I am, (Secret secret, I've got a secret)

[Khushrenada]

Machine or mannequin, (Secret secret, I've got a secret)

[Khushrenada]

With parts made in Japan, (Secret secret, I've got a secret)

[Khushrenada]

I am the modern man!

[Khushrenada]

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin,

[Khushrenada]

My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain IBM,

[Khushrenada]

So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised,

[Khushrenada]

I'm just a man who needed someone and somewhere to hide,

[Khushrenada]

To keep me alive, just keep me alive,

Somewhere to hide to keep me alive,

[Khushrenada]

I'm not a robot without emotions, I'm not what you see,

[Khushrenada]

I've come to help you with your problems so we can be free,

[Khushrenada]

I'm not a hero, I'm not a savior, forget what you know,

[Khushrenada]

I'm just a man who's circumstances went beyond his control,

[Khushrenada]

Beyond my control, We all need control,

I need control, We all need control,

[Khushrenada]

I am the modern man, (Secret secret, I've got a secret)

[Khushrenada]

Who hides behind a mask, (Secret secret, I've got a secret)

[Khushrenada]

So no one else can see, (Secret secret, I've got a secret)

[Khushrenada]

My true identity,

[Khushrenada]

Domo arigato, Mr, Roboto,

Domo, (Labo), Domo, (Labo), 

[Khushrenada]

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,

Domo, (Labo), Domo, (Labo),

[Khushrenada]

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto,

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto,

[Khushrenada]

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto,

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto,

[Khushrenada]

(Thank you very much oh Mr. Roboto

For doing the jobs that nobody wants to)

[Khushrenada]

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto,

(And thank you very much oh Mr. Roboto,

For helping me escape just when I needed to)

[Khushrenada]

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto,

(Thank you thank you thank you)
