Maybe it is *now* - the English word "funk" in the musical context
is far more recent than the German word Funk (which has long been
used as a term for radio). Thus it's a clever pun or word play, but
not a pure / correct translation.

To be exact, Stoerung means "disturbance" (check the dictionary)
(Mine is the Collins German-English-German, 9th edition, dd 1990)

Radio disturbance (we could carry on like this for ever, eh?!) The
recent German v/a compilation compiled by Bernd Friendmann was
titled "Deutscher Funk", had an image of a transistor radio on the
cover and said in smaller print "German radio" below it (1997).
