English term

wire music into s.o.

English to German Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama Entertainment, tanning salon
(Not sure where to place this ... )

Es geht um Untertitel für einen US-amerikanischen Film. Die Szene spielt in einem Solarium/Massagesalon, es geht offenbar um die Hintergrundmusik. Der Sprecher ist der Inhaber, ein junger Mann, der einen alten Bekannten herumführt und ihm voller Begeisterung alles zeigt

You’ll enjoy this, this is the audio-visual jambox, **wire music** right into you.
It’s pretty advanced, basically it’s 14 mega-jams of slaffee.
I was perfecting a different playlist every day, but then we got these Mexican dudes that would come in here and swamp the feel.

Vielen Dank für Anregungen!

Sometimes hanging around with teens is quite useful!
Kerstin Braun (asker) Sep 17, 2014:
Hi Ramey Thank you - there is no more (visual) context there, I'm afraid. I was missing some grammatical context like Andreas said, so I wasn't sure. I like your suggestion, though ;-) Thanks again.
Ramey Rieger (X) Sep 17, 2014:
Hi Andreas my experience with slang tells me the less the better. Besides the verb 'wirst' is already there - Und hier ist meine audio/video Jambox!Du wirst es lieben, es zappt....
Andreas Gerold Sep 16, 2014:
@ Ramey Den Sinn verstehe ich auch so wie in deiner Antwort – aber findest du auch, dass irgendwie ein bisschen grammatischer Kontext fehlt? Ich hätte eher so was erwartet wie It'll wire music into you …
Ramey Rieger (X) Sep 16, 2014:
Hi Kerstin If there is no series of images that show customers literally wired up to the system, then I think he's talking about the effect, like 'pumps right into your blood, hits you full blast, etc. could you describe the room a bit more? Is it an enclosed environment? Do the clients lay down? Have headphones? Are they massaged by the music? Are there sensors? Is it for dancing? Fitness? We need more context.

zappt die Musik direkt 'rein

I THINK this is what is meant, gets under your skin, penetrates directly
I came up a blank with the slang dics, ergo low CL.
a German native speaker may have a better way of putting it

Does sound bit terrifying, doesn't it? Thanks, Brigitte
agree Usch Pilz : oder: pumpt die Musik direkt in dich rein/powert die Musik direkt in dich rein
