The Broken English Musical Challenge
The TV Theme Song Edition
These days, it's comforting to know that despite all our differences; no matter our religious disagreements, our backgrounds, our thoughts on hot-button political issues, or anything else... we have one thing in common. We can all sing the theme to Gilligan's Island.
So for this month's Broken English Musical Challenge, we're taking some popular TV Theme Songs and running 'em through the translation wringer, where we translate them into, say, Korean, and then back to English, where they don't quite end up the same as when they started. So the lines...
Five passengers set sail that day
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour
End up as...
Five passengers established the sail which day
For a three hours excursion, a three hours excursion.
See if you can figure out these remaining songs. I suggest tuning into Nick at Nite if you need some help.
