1) A rock group from Cologne (Köln), Germany, founded in 1976. Their most outstanding feature has been that all the songs performed by BAP are in Kölsch, the local ripoarian language (or German dialect) spoken in Cologne and its vicinity, which is hardly understood in other parts of Germany. BAP had their greatest successes in the 1980s, when they stormed the national charts with a number of subsequent singles. Their all-time number one is "Verdamp lang her".
During the peace movement in the 80s they played concerts on demonstrations and were dedicated to the disarmament in Germany and Europe.
2) BAP!! (Brigada Anti Polizialak) is an influential Basque Hardcore fusion band. Formed in 1984 and disbanded in 1996, they only released 3 albums partly because the drummer joined Negu Gorriak but achieved the cult band status thanks to their open minded fusion of styles and powerful live performances. Later 3 of the members formed Inoren Ero Ni.
3) BAP. is the stage name of Jakarta-based rapper and producer Kareem Soenharjo. He also goes by the name of Yosugi as a producer, DJ, and the frontman the noise quartet BAPAK.

Ich jonn su unwahrscheinlich jähn
met dir enn der Waschsalon,
weil du häss Ahnung vun dä Technik,
vunn der ich nix verstonn.

Ich maach ding Auge und ding Leppe
Vumm decke Zieh bess zo de Fingerspezze
fahr ich ab op ding Figur,

Su wie du optritts en dämm Laade

Dazo kann ich nur saare: "Frau,

Dat Kleinjeld, wat mer hedrinn bruch,

Ich dunn die Wäsch drinn, do die Knete,

Die Schleuder törnste ahn, bess dat dat Ding de Welt niemieh versteht,

The song "Waschsalon" by BAP is about a man who is completely clueless about operating laundry machines and finds himself amazed by a woman who has mastered the art of doing laundry effortlessly. The song's refrains reveal that the man is fascinated by the woman's knowledge of laundry-machine technology, while he knows nothing about it. He goes to the laundromat with her because he needs her expertise to help him with his laundry. However, he is more interested in watching her handle the machines and admiring her physical appearance, rather than actually learning how to do his laundry properly.
The first verse describes how the man is so focused on the woman that he doesn't even notice how he's staring at her eyes, lips, nose, and hair, from head to toe. He is fascinated by her every move, but what surprises him the most is how she can operate the laundry machines with such ease.
In the second verse, the man admires how the woman confidently handles the empty washing machine and checks the operating instructions with a glance. He is so impressed by her that he says she has "format," which means she has a certain stature or presence, which he finds appealing.
In the third verse, the man comments that she has brought along the exact amount of money needed for washing and drying, and he watches as she puts her laundry in the machine and expertly operates it. He is amazed that he has no knowledge of how to do it himself, but he doesn't mind because he is more interested in being there with her.
The fourth verse describes the various difficulties that the man has encountered with the laundry machines, such as the machine not spinning, and the man's frustration that he cannot seem to operate them like the woman he is with. However, despite the difficulties he encounters, he still admires her for her knowledge.
Overall, the song presents a comical but sweet depiction of a man who is fascinated and smitten by a woman who is skilled at doing laundry, revealing how mundane activities can bring people together and create an enjoyable moment.

Ich jonn su unwahrscheinlich jähn
I go so incredibly willingly

Ich maach ding Auge und ding Leppe
I do your eyes and your lips
un ding Naas und ding Frisur.
and your nose and your hairdo.
Vumm decke Zieh bess zo de Fingerspezze
From your thick coat to your fingertips
fahr ich ab op ding Figur,
I admire your figure,
doch wat mich intensiv zum Staune bring,
but what really astonishes me is
ess wirklich ein Saach nur:
really just one thing:
Su wie du optritts en dämm Laade
The way you appear in that shop
un direk en leer Maschien entdecks
and immediately discover an empty machine
un die Jebrauchsahnweisung nevvenbei
and casually check the operating instructions
met einem Bleck affchecks.

Dazo kann ich nur saare: "Frau,
To that, I can only say, "Woman,
dat hätt Format, ich benn perplex!"
that's impressive, I'm stunned!"
Dat Kleinjeld, wat mer hedrinn bruch,
The small change we need inside
dat hässte selbstverständlich längs parat.
You naturally have it ready.
Ich dunn die Wäsch drinn, do die Knete,
I put the laundry and the money in,
dann routiert dä Lavamat
then the washing machine rotates
Dat dat nit weltweit övver Satelitjesendet weet,
That it's not broadcast worldwide via satellites
ess wirklich schaad.
Is really unfortunate.

Die Schleuder törnste ahn, bess dat dat Ding de Welt niemieh versteht,
You turn the spin cycle on until the machine doesn't understand the world anymore,
ich flippen uss, wenn ich mer ahnluhr, wie et em Trockner wiggerjeht.
I freak out when I listen to how the dryer is running.
Die Mangel pack et nitmieh un behauptet: Bügelfrei
The ironer doesn't work anymore and claims it's wrinkle-free
dat kriej ich wirklich nit jerejelt, Frau dat jrenzt ahn Zauberei.
I really can't manage that, woman, that borders on magic.
