Here's one for ya! I've translated a song from its original English language, into Norwegian, then to German, back into Norwegian, and finally back to English again, using a web-based automatic translator.

The question is, of course: What song is this? (I'll start with an easy one)


At one time at them while you dressed soaping daintily you
discarded it plump them dime in din grandfather age, didn't you?
People gale appeal, recount age doll, you're what ought drop
You conceived they nonsense all kidding you
You cultivated laugh about
all it hung at
Now you no matter conversation soaping copious
Now you no matter appear soaping boast
about has ah becomes catch it too they next meal
What does as dawn
What does as dawn
ah becomes ahead them home
Equal them in full unknown
Equal them rolling brick?

Like A Rolling Stone!

That's some funny stuff.

Rentings a plan near I
cut top your and I acquire I
smoke the work certain fags and I play somebody swim
I pretend never I do not have it still goes in school
but never you will acquire precisely
cos while you are lived here the rise that
looks at house the night the wall
if you name yours dad that it could stop all, yeah.

Translated through.. a lot of languages.

Is that common people ?

The first one was Like A Rolling Stone, yes.

Here's another one.


Fresh I belief as gale this genial
if I able touch din body
I knowledge no matter all
has getting them body equal you

But I've getting ah suppose about double
at a prior this is on me at my heart away
plus I knowledge all fights you action
as I action her again

Correct Nicolas.

I was thinking that was some poetic song Rune with a ton of depth and then I realized it was Faith.

Here's one

I cannot seem with receivers with the facts
that I nervous am tended and and me cannot relieve me
to sleep cannot, because me I do not affect my bed on fire am a true wire of phase.

I wonder if some people actually writesongs like this...lol I wouldnt doubt it. People are probably like " Dang that band is md genious, those lyics are awesome."

"Psycho Killer." And, amazingly, it still sounds like David Byrne.

Don't get Jonmarck started...

this one is a little easier, translated from English to French to Spanish to French to English again.

And as well as we meander on the way at the bottom
Our bigger blackness than our soul.
There a lady walks whom we all know
That white light shines and wants to show
How everything always turns in gold.
And if you listen very harshly
Air will come to him finally.
When they there is one all and are us everything
Be a rock and not run.
And she buys the staircase from the sky.

What is "Stairway"?

I'll take "f**ked up lyrics" for $600 please, Alex.

What if to laugh?
What if you walk?
What if you oscillate twenty-four hours out of twenty-four?
Tick-tock. Makes the tick-tock-tock.
What if you?
What if you walk?
What if you try lower, baby?

Yeah, I probably shouldn't take that one.


But here's a translation from English to Japanese and back:

That is large, earthquake, it starts from the airplane of the bird and the snake, - Lenny blues does not fear. You yourself, the 撹 mammary organ you hear the eye of the hurricane, - in spite even in your yourself necessity serve monopolized ones of the world need. No of the knock, speed and groan voice, give to no of strength to that above. The sound which structure of the ladder of fear of height and height is said shakily. The wire of the fire displays 7 games of government for the place of the rent debt and battle. The left had not entered quick her of the rage which breathes under your neck. The trump was perplexed, attached the team grain by the team reporter. Look at the low plane surface! Then fine. Outflow and population of Uh Ohio state, the common group, but it does that. If you exclude you yourself, serve you yourself. Your center it finishes to cut the world, in itself necessity, hears it is useful. Me of ecstasy and the う and the う palm of right the right be and - say. The bright light/write patriotism where, slam of vitriolic, it fights, feels forces, considerably psyched.

That as we have known that, is the edge of the world.
That as we have known that, is the edge of the world.
That as I where we have known that feel well, is the edge of the world.

REM- Drive

Hey, throw a guy a "touché" here!

Schleuse, that would be REM - It's the End Of the World As We Know It, isn't it?


I don't think this one will be so hard.


Pillule makes to you larger,
and it returns pillule small,
and that to you which gives you the mother,
does not do anything the entirety
Goes request of the Alice,
if she rises with ten feet of large,

And if you become a rabbit verjagen,
and you can yourselves them fall to go
Which says that tractors of chain ookahnikotinismus you that recall Alice call given has,
when she were simply small,

If the men on the panel of failures
deviate and say you, where to go
and you are a certain kind mushroom to have had just, and your spirit the weak reason will
Ask of the Alice, more that knows,

If logic and the share
died satisfy wet made,
and the white knight in direction of the back part speaks
and the red queen "far with her head!" recall,
Which the button of door indicated:
You provide your head

Babelfish is fantastic!

To Japanese and back to English!

That last one was White Rabbit, Rune? (Can't guess Moonbeam's)

Reminds me of the time my roommate and I (one Chinese + one Dane) in a student dorm in Israel were trying to translate Beatles songs into Hebrew.

I think it's Prince's Batdance, which is a pretty funny song it itself. How "Get Your Funk Up" turned into "Profit Do The Fear" is miraculous though.

That was White Rabbit, yes.

Here's another:


Do signs of ambition seem you beautiful ugly
blows of the foot, and Gucci little pig of Quieken
does not remember you that you do not remember
why you remember my names?
To don't share with its head, man
above far with his chief, man
why you remember my names?
I advise that him....
To rain to the bottom,
rains downwards on the Erich rain of practice
of a great dimension
of a great dimension
of dimension herabsteigen......

Track 2 from OK Computer.

That should be correct, I assume.

I got a hard one for you guys (pun intended)


Curiously like does discovery I itself would become in the love you,
if I could buy my reflexion to me, pay,
for a half to lose me does not make required,
how much you are made?
It is not my life
you to him is never forgotten
my life him ends

More.
