Another cover of Smells like teenage spirits by Beat-Boxer, DOKAKA. I've forgotten this cover for a long time. I guess this cover would sound funny or awful to someone.　Sugar Soul covered Smells like teenage spirits also.

WTF? A speech of Adolf Hitler? Are they crazy? Sometimes I don't understand the japanese. Don't they read books, or are they not interested in what a nightmare they glorify?

takkutaku9 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 05, 2009, 06:01:35 PM »

I don't understand both languages, english and german. So I didn't know what that song would mean. I serched the lyric right now. Words depend on the context, so it should have quoted the speech of Adolf Hitler in right way. It seems they failed to do that.
If my post offended you, I'm sorry.
