Party Poison

The Japanese parts are translated as follows:

Minna! Kuruma wa mantan dashi Su-tsuke-su (suitcase) ni wa bakudan tsumete-iru Jinsei wa mijikakute, iku michi wa kiken ga o-oi Dakara odorou

"Everybody! The car is filled with gasoline. The suitcase is filled with bombs. Life is short, and the way to[i.e. future] has a lot of danger. So, let's dance!"

Yuumei ni naritai no Majide E-n to ikitai Watashi wa bakuhatsu suru

"You wanna be famous? Seriously? I wanna keep going forever. I'm gonna explode!" (Interestingly, 爆発する"bakuhatsu suru" is my favorite Japanese verb ever)

So when the party gets out Minna de odorou Till the party breaks down Karada ga itaku naru made Now everybody get down Minna de odorou Now everybody get down Karada ga itaku naru made Till the party breaks down tonight Karada ga itaku naru made Karada ga itaku naru made

"So when the party gets out. Let's dance together. Till the party breaks down. Till the body hurts. Now everybody get down. Let's dance together. Now everybody get down. Till the body hurts. Till the party breaks down tonight. Till the body hurts. Till the body hurts."

Hope that helps!

If anyone wants to help me with the lyrics, that'd be awesome. Haha Gee can be kind of hard to hear sometimes.

that's cool that this song changed it's name from death before disco to party poison but it is really just that old song living after midnight by judas priest

Hahaha Okay. I updated the formerly hilariously misheard lyrics to the accurate ones from the CD booklet.

to me this song is definitely about living life to the fullest, it's also about not letting partying consume your life and doing some work such as the lines "Oh, we'd be killing ourselves while sleeping in" and "And all the good times, they give you cancer". Also Iggy Pop and the Stooges refrences? first with the solo in the beginning and with the line "Street walking cheetah with a capital G" like the line in search and destroy "street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm"

Im sorry... but the freaky asian makes me not like this song as much.

I think the Japanese part makes it very comical . . . I love it. Kinda 80's cartoon stuff (like Kill Bill). Great concept -- the whole songs in the album seems to be a missile to today's music scene.

For me, this song shows a violent attack to some preppy (popular) party kids . . . uncool guys getting revenge!! I like that idea. MCR always goes far from safe circle and tries to give big fist to popular lifestyle and crowd.

Heil Gerard Arthur!!

The "Ain't no DJ gonna save my soul, I sold it long ago for Rock n Roll" Really speaks to me; I'll always be a man of Rock n Roll
