Fritz Kahn was a German writer and illustrator in the 1920s who specialized in illustrating the physical processes of human bodies as though they were machine powered.
This man machine trope can also be found in Lee Perry's "Throw Some Water In"[1] with the lines "Service your engine if you want it to function" by Lee Perry, from his album Roast Fish Collie Weed & Corn Bread .
Additionally Horace Silver and Andy Bey recorded "I Had a Little Talk," in which the narrator has a little talk with each of his organs:
- "I had a little talk with my lungs and I've decided to treat them right. We made a mutual agreement and I think, at last we both see the light. "
The Andy Bey track can be found on the Blue Note kozmigroov compilation The United States of Mind.
