This is my first post here. Sorry if it's inappropriate for any reason, please just let me know and I'll do what needs to be done.
The song is just something light and fun I've had in rotation lately. I used to be a vinyl DJ way back when, for the last ten years I've run Future Funk Airlines on Reddit.
(I actually like the dub version a little better but if I posted that you wouldnt get to see them pretending the calculator watches they're wearing are mini radio transmitters or something. And since I've got the page open, here's discogs.)

Wow I had no idea about the lyrics, thanks for the information. To be honest I have no problem with happy music mixed with dark lyrics though. I was going to say maybe London Calling is along the same lines but even the melody alone isn't nearly as cheerful as 99 Luftballons or Vamos a la Playa.
Heh. Which of these statements is more accurate regarding your feelings about disco and italo disco? "I hate disco!" "I LOATHE italo disco!" I'm kidding of course! i know it's not for everyone.

Are you a fan of disco/italo in general?
No, I just stumbled upon that in the comments and looked it up by finding a translation, which says so.
