  It's also my favorite one. It's just magic. It's just as fantastic as the first time I heard it about 29 years ago or so. (I also happen to believe that massive introduction of nuclear power is the only thing that will make the earth comfortably habitable for our grand-children, but that's a topic for another thread.)

  you know that the percussive urgent beeping at beginning and end spells out "RADIOACTIVITY" and "ITS IN THE AIR" in Morse code?

    When played live, they spell out "KRAFTWERK" instead.

  Huh, I didn't realize they localized these. The Japanese texts say things like "Fukushima radiation, today and forever, stop it now".

    > I didn't realize they localized these. Which is why this is my favorite version of the song. They kind of evolved it with the Hiroshima accident.

      I think you have your geography and timeline mixed up a bit.

        Oh crap! I meant Fukushima.
