Apr. 19th, 2005 11:48 amBecause I am tired of reading about anthrax*, let's play a fun game suggested by
thekat03!
--Pick a song everyone knows.
--Take the lyrics to babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr) and
translate English to German to French to English.
--Copy out the result and give clues and see who can guess the song. Screen
comments so no one cheats!
Here's mine, which people will probably get quickly, but I think it's pretty hilarious:
It equipped in yellows, it says, "hallo, you come sat close to me, you condemn vehicles!" They run there without a second, to lose, and what comes initially? You make jump of He, a movement!
*

UPDATE: As some of you have figured out, the song was "Bust a Move," by Young MC. The winner of the contest (as in, the first person to guess right) was
gieves! A couple of others got it, too. Check the comments for the lyrics. (cynic, I'm curious what part of "Bus to Beelzebub" you were imagining...)
