coin operated boy

sitting on the shelf he is just a toy

but i turn him on and he comes to life

automatic joy

that is why i want a coin operated boy

 

...those are the first few lines of a song that i cant get out of my head. I promise, i tried, but it keeps coming back...

 

It all started with a commercial on austrian TV. The biggest austrian jam manufactorer "Darbo" had a weired (but very interesting) ad, promoting one of their products with this song. (you can see the original version

)

 

It is performed by the former street artists "The Dresden Dolls", who describe their style as "Brechtian punk cabaret"...

 

American`s who name their band Dresden Dolls and their style "Brechtian punk cabaret", what can i say, love it! :lol:

 

p.s. and what about the lyrics hehe, pretty obvious, what the lady is singing here about, isn`t it! ;-)
