*snatches it from erinpuff because it's shiny, and Soujin needs shiny right now*

1. Pick six songs that most people will know.
2. Select lyrics of up to but not surpassing 150 words from each one.
3. Go to http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr
4. Enter the lyrics thus:

English to German
German to French
French to Portuguese
Portuguese to English

5. Post the resultant gobbledegook and see if people can figure out what the songs are.

4.) Act I Finale of POTO/AIAOY reprise.

My brain hurts just from looking at these. >.

6. Building the Barricade, Les Miserables

I translated the sentence "I like pie, it is fun" through three languages on babelfish today, and it came out "I like the pie in the crust, it am pleasure."

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yes indeedy.

...PIE SEX!

*boggles!*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Aren't they horrid? I still think I like five best.

1) makes me think of Shakespeare: "Come and kiss me, sweet and twenty, youth's a stuff will not endure".

3) Ragtime, title song (duh to anyone who has ever heard Ragtime)

5) Old Devil Moon - cannot for the life of me remember which inadvertantly racist musical it's from, though

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, and yes.

*snrks* Old Devil Moon is from Finian's Rainbow, and that's a fairly good description.

*snickers at the Feste song*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I love the way it came out. Yes. Hugs me.

[bewareofitalics]

Where the heck did that come from, anyway?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

The meme? The song? The bizarre generator?

[bewareofitalics]

The "hugs me" part.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*blinks* You're right. I just thought about it. You're right. I have no idea where that came from.

[bewareofitalics]

Mysteeeerioooous...

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*nods solemnly* Very.

[lasucette.livejournal.com]

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, wonderful. *g*

Oh, really? How did they turn out?

Your icon makes me laugh now that I've seen Romeo et Juliette.

[lasucette.livejournal.com]
