Pop Song 452 of 500 'Mr. Roboto' Styx 1982
The Japanese lyrics at the beginning of the song are as follows:
どうもありがとうミスターロボット (Dōmo arigatō misutā robotto)
また会う日まで (Mata au hi made)
どうもありがとうミスターロボット (Dōmo arigatō misutā robotto)
秘密を知りたい (Himitsu o shiritai)
The lyrics translate into English as follows:
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
Until the day we meet again
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
I want to know your secret
The lyric "Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto" has entered popular culture as a catchphrase,[7] appearing in media such as The Simpsons, Futurama, Archer, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Arrested Development, Eight Crazy Nights, Austin Powers in Goldmember, DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story, Man With A Plan, The Perfect Man, Chuck, Ion Fury, Mr. Robot,[8] iCarly, King of Queens, and How I Met Your Mother.[citation needed]
The song tells part of the story of Robert Orin Charles Kilroy (ROCK), in the rock opera Kilroy Was Here. The song is performed by Kilroy (as played by keyboardist Dennis DeYoung), a rock and roll performer who was placed in a futuristic prison for "rock and roll misfits" by the anti-rock-and-roll group the Majority for Musical Morality (MMM) and its founder Dr. Everett Righteous (played by guitarist James Young). The Roboto is a model of robot which does menial jobs in the prison. Kilroy escapes the prison by overpowering a Roboto prison guard and hiding inside its emptied-out metal shell. When Jonathan Chance (played by guitarist Tommy Shaw) finally meets Kilroy at the very end of the song, Kilroy unmasks and yells "I'm Kilroy! Kilroy!", ending the song.

秘密を知りたい
You're wondering who I am (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Machine or mannequin? (Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
With parts made in Japan (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
I am thee modern man
I've got a secret, I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain IBM
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone and somewhere to hide to keep me alive
Just keep me alive, somewhere to hide, to keep me alive
I'm not a robot without emotions, I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not the saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control, we all need control
I need control, we all need control
I am thee modern man (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Who hides behind a mask (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
So no one else can see (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
My true identity
どうもありがと Mr. Roboto
どうも (どうも)
どうも (どうも)
どうもありがと Mr. Roboto
どうも (どうも)
どうも (どうも)
どうもありがと Mr. Roboto
どうもありがと Mr. Roboto
どうもありがと Mr. Roboto
どうもありがと Mr. Roboto
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape, when I needed to
Thank you, thank you, thank you
I want to thank you
Please, thank you, oh-oh-oh, yeah
The problem's plain to see
Too much technology
Machines to save our lives
Machines dehumanize
The time has come at last (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
To throw away this mask (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Now everyone can see (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
My true identity
I'm Kilroy, Kilroy, Kilroy, Kilroy
