Lemming of the Day

April 19th, 2005

OK, here are the rules.

You go find a song that everybody knows and put the lyrics into the Babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/). Translate them from English to German, then German to French, and then French to English. Then post here with 3 clues. See who gets the song right first.

Here’s the clues

1) Not everyone knows it, but everyone who knows me well probably has heard it.
2) It’s a BNL song.
3) Some of the lyrics translated -perfectly- from english to german to french to english

In old housing which this one, where we maintained, food fallows broken glass of it, is in fallow and is famished broken hearts and bones broken of this one, where did we maintained to live why paint you to them walls? Why did you clean the floor? Why vergipsten it on the drilling which I punched in the door? Is this one, where we maintained to you to live why held that mousetrap? Why did you hold Dishrack? these things used to be my that I estimate that they wish them still, me are back in old housing to Forty-two staircase of the road of curved landing, curved owner of house proximity laneway filled in fallow with hooks. This one is, where we maintained to live. Why did they pave the lawn? why did they modify lockings? Why was I to break to him, I only came me to speak this one am, where we maintained to live as are the neighbor downwards? How is it reheated this year to him? I turned myself your television apparatus and stomped on the floor which is right for the recreation that I know that we do not buy here to more us one old house on Danforth live it me like and their body me I am hot hold fortunately here, with those is however, where we maintained to live in old housing broke in fallow violently the telephone of the memories of the wall only, the memories fading outside which mix it in the blunted lists me wish return
