There's a similar thread to this in the ESC 2016 part of the forum, but I thought it would be cool to do it for WV as well So basically, you have to take the lyrics of a song and use Google Translate to pass the lyrics through several languages, and eventually translate them back to English. We all know how useless Google Translate can be and therefore the results can be hilarious, like this:
I thought I'd give it a little go with Ricki-Lee's Raining Diamonds, my first entry for ::quee in WV51:
The original lyrics:
Whoa whoa whoa...
I declare war on love
I declare war on love
Finally I'm burning the pages
And I declare a war on love
And it's not fair to put the blame on you
It's not fair to just blame you
I kept denying the sound of the sirens
So it's not fair to just blame you
For too long I played the pretender
But now I'll never surrender
I need it rain-rain-raining diamonds
I need the planets all aligning
I know that love is more than just surviving
I need it raining diamonds
Whoa whoa whoa...
I'm not scared, a little reckless maybe
Till I hold it in my hands
And when I fall madly deeply
I wanna fall and never land
I need it rain-rain-raining diamonds
I need the planets all aligning
I know that love is more than just surviving
I need it raining diamonds
Whoa whoa whoa...
I've heard it heard it heard it
All the lines and the imperfections
The perfect words are worthless
I'd rather go it alone
Whoa whoa whoa...
I need it rain-rain-raining diamonds
I need the planets all aligning
I know that love is more than just surviving
I need it raining diamonds
Whoa whoa whoa...
And now the wonderful Google translation (English - French - Swedish - Korean - Turkish - English)
Hey, hey ...
I love war ilhan
I love to declare war
Finally, as burnt
And I like declaring war
And put in charge would be unfair
You guilty of unfair
I kept denying the sound of sirens
So unfair to blame you
So long as I'm playing a suitor
But now I will not give up
I need a cigarette with non-diamond
I have to adjust all the planets
We know that love is more than just survive
Diamonds need a rain
Hey, hey ...
I'm not afraid, perhaps reckless bits
To keep my hands
And when you fall madly deeply
I do not want to land in autumn
I need a cigarette with non-diamond
I have to adjust all the planets
We know that love is more than just survive
Diamonds need a rain
Hey, hey ...
I heard heard heard
All lines and weaknesses
Value excellent Words
I prefer to go alone.
Hey, hey ...
I need a cigarette with non-diamond
I have to adjust all the planets
We know that love is more than just survive
Diamonds need a rain
