The Misunderstood Language of Music
Friday, October 26, 2007
First off, apologies to anyone who reads this blog who might understand the real lyrics behind these songs. I can only imagine how funny an English song may sound in a different language.
The music videos below are not in English, but they have been subtitled with English purely based on phonetics, not on an actual translation.
My Loony Bun is fine, Benny Lava
Moskau, Moskau
Boten Anna
(via Winterfleur)
P.S. My punishment is that these songs are now stuck in my head.

Hey, ordinary:
I couldn't find any way to email you, so I'm leaving this note as a comment here. Since it's totally off-topic, I won't be offended if you delete it after you've read it.
Nonbelieving Literati would like to invite you to pick our next selection. There are no hard-and-fast rules, but I think these two guidelines may help:
(1) The book should not just be an atheist screed.
(2) The book should have something of interest, although not necessarily atheistic, to literate nonbelievers.
Please let me know if you'd like to be "the decider." You can either send me an email by clicking on the link at my blog, or append a comment to
Between You, Me, and the Lamb Post.
Thanks.

these were fricken hilarious!
I definitely have the last one I listened to in my head now...I'm going to be walking around singing, "shit a boat, shit a boat."

Wow, so very very very wrong.
And yet, so funny.
