harry connected to die eier von satan

i think that these two songs are connected to show the power of language.
message to harry manback is a recording of a person who is saying something very evil set to piano that is very soothing and beautiful. if a listener did not know either language being used here, it may seem as though it were a love song.
on the other hand, die eier von satan is very simple light lyrics about baking cookies, set to very heavy sinister sounding music. since this is in german, i always thought it was saying something rather evil, then come to find out it is a recipie.
i believe that these two songs are to point out the power of language and of suggestion. I dont think they are related in lyrics or anything like that, just two intermissions that want to illustrate the same point.

thats a good interpretation but like many tool songs, i think the song has multiple meanings.
