      Then you start playing with phonetic similarities in different languages.
      Take Spanish:
      Flock Of Seagulls sounds like Flaca Seagulls, “flaca” is the singular female of “skinny”.
      So you bend and break the grammar a little bit and get
      Las Gaviotas Flacas - The Skinny Seagulls

      Not unlike
      “Está café”
      How do you say “café” in English?
      Brown.
      "Está ca-brown"
      “Está cabrón”, a versatile slang vulgar similar to “it’s fucking hard” and “it’s fucked”.
