Because I am tired of reading about anthrax*, let's play a fun game suggested by [livejournal.com profile] 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!

*[livejournal.com profile] cognative, this wording made me think of you. "Because I have anthrax..."

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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...)

"She's dressed in yellow, she says 'Hello,
come sit next to me you fine fellow.'
You run over there without a second to lose
And what comes next? Hey bust a move!"


(my first visit to LJ in a looong time, and you gave me a puzzle to solve!! And I know I owe you comments on a lot of stuff, for which I do apologize...)

(a) What a fantabulous meme;
(b) I am so lost. If only I knew German and could reverse-engineer!

Oh. My. God.

How do you possibly get "you condemn vehicles" out of "you fine fellow"?

I wasn't sure either. I can see "you condemn," but the vehicles part is a little more obscure.

I have no idea what that song is, but it's a funny meme.

Total random guess, but -

I have no idea what that song is. Some TMBG maybe?
