    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”.
