The Broken English Musical Challenge!

So we ran the Broken English Musical Challenge a couple of months ago, and we thought we'd try it again. Partially because some of you seemed to like it the first time, but mostly because we're lazy, and it's too much work to think up a new type of quiz every week.

Remember, here's the deal. We take your favorite song lyrics, run 'em through one of those translation web pages several times, and show you the results. So the classic line "Who let the dogs out?" comes back as "Who leaving the canines outside?"

Anyway, below we've got a bunch of other song lyrics that we ran through the translation wringer. See if you can figure out what songs we used. As a hint, here's a list of 10 songs -- six of them we used, the other four we threw in just to mess with ya.

  • "All You Need is Love" by The Beatles
  • "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot
  • "Careless Whisper" by Wham!
  • "Genie in a Bottle" by Christina Aguilera
  • "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper
  • "The Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston
  • "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2
  • "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zepplin
  • "La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin
  • "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith

Personally, I recommend reading them out loud with a Yoda voice. It won't make them any easier to figure out, I just like hearing people do Yoda impressions.

The telephone sounds in the center of the night
My father howls, "What are you making with yours life?"
Oh daddy dear you knows you are motionless number one
But girls that they want to have the pleasure
I believe the child will be our future
Teaches them is well and lets them carry out in this way
To demonstrate they all will be beautiful inside their posess
I never again dance.
The guilty foot does not have the rhythm.
Although it are easy to disguise
I know you are not the imbecile
She will encourage you to remove your clothing
And with going to dance under the rain
She will encourage you to live the insane life
Because it will carry your pain
I had run I have crept
I measured these city walls
In order to be only with you
But I have not still discovered what I am seeking
I like great ends and I cannot be
Your other brothers are not possible with the denial
Where a girl goes inside a size bitty itty
And a round thing in yours face
