Yellow Magic Orchestra - Solid State Survivor (1979)

Track 8 on 'Solid State Survivor' (1979)
Written by Yukihiro Takahashi/Chris Mosdell
Featuring Makoto Ayukawa on electric guitar

LYRICS:

The strangeness of the strangers
Second hand teenagers
Face to face they face
A chemical race
Minds blind
Empty eyes
Black tongues ablaze
No names
Breathe in dreams
Stand in line, cracked smiles
Life to life colliders
Solid state survivors
And Marilyn Monroe's not home
So I sit alone with the video
And Tokyo Rose is on the phone
Dressed to kill in her skin tight clothes
Here's to a humanoid boy
Smiling, happy and void
Solid state survivor

It really does sound like the Bardock song.

Hypnotic and eternal ... YMO will live forever.

Magical. No doubt Cornelius and was inspired by this. I wonder how many times this track has been sampled.

[SpongeMagic]

I just realized that that noise at 1:02 that is heard throughout the piece is supposed to sound like coughing.

日笠さんが twitter で発言している内容はもしかして若干異なる & 曲の位置によって使われている場所が異なる、ようですね。
