From Wikipedia: “The song is intended to sound to its Italian audience as if it is sung in English spoken with an American accent, however the lyrics are deliberately unintelligible with the exception of the words "all right”.”

- Ca plane pour moi — Thee Headcoatees
“We are the queens of the divan,” which was modified from Plastic Bertrand’s original “I am the king of the divan.” But I like the Headcoatees version better so that’s the one I’m going with.

- Ca plane pour moi — Thee Headcoatees
- Booker T - Bad Bunny
“Booker T” and “Can you dig it, sucka?” are the only words rapped in English. Everything else is in Spanish. The song is not about Booker T, the wrestler. The song is Bad Bunny calling himself the greatest of all-time. And it’s laced with profanity.

The third verse is in German, sung by Dee Dee (who was no longer in the band but continued to write songs for them) over the phone. It made for a neat effect.

It starts with a recitation in German – Achtung! Jetzt wir singen zusammen die Geschichte über den schweinköpfigen Hund und den lieben Red Baron (translation: Attention! Now we’ll all sing the story of the pig-headed dog and the beloved Red Baron), and a voice in the background counts cadence in German – eins, zwei, drei, vier – during the second stanza.
