Goodness- that hurt!

I'm not linking to them, but if you find H-Smurf's vid at Youtube, some of the others are just as side-splitting (like "Indian Nipple Song" and "May He Poop?").

 

[Thunderfoot]

I'm going to be singing that song all week. I can only imagine what people will think.

[sings]My loony bun is fine Benny Lava!!![/sings]

I read through some of the commentary about these clips, and noticed at least a few people calling these mock translations "racist."

Not realizing, of course, that its just as likely that somewhere in New Delhi, some guy called "Dave" who has a job in tech support outsourced from a US company has assembled a collection of similarly altered clips by American and British artists...

I mean, what the heck does "Smells Like Teen Spirit" sound like to Indian ears? Or a further linguistic departure like "Du Hast?"

They're probably yukking it up just as much as we are.

 

[Angrydad]

I'd seen that video before, and it still makes me laugh like an idiot when I hear that guy. Benny Lava...ha ha ha ha. I don't quite grasp people getting all huffy about it though, it's just a goof. Honestly, some people have no sense of humor.

A little thread necro...

I've recently been listening to Filter's Anthems for the Damned and I really enjoy the song "The Wake."

The first bit of the song's lyrics go like this:

Filter
The Wake

clean
there aint nobody thats clean
down in the basement
down here the saints dont meet

love
aint nobody loving
down here your head stays low
you cant see the skies above

push me a little bit closer to the man in the mirror

the wake aftermath (sticks)
can you forgive and forget?
the wake aftermath (hate)
do you forgive or regret?

grow
aint nobody growing
its hard to remember hope
your standards just stay low

change
aint nobody changing
i dont want to stay this way
i cant stay deranged

push me a little bit closer to the man in the mirror

the wake aftermath (sticks)
can you forgive and forget?
the wake aftermath (hate)
do you forgive or regret?

do you forgive and forget?

Their lead singer usually enunciates quite well, but I misheard the last 2 words of the first stanza...but I think my misheard lyrics are actually better (or at least, more sinister) than the original.

Filter
The Wake (misheard)

clean
there aint nobody thats clean
down in the basement
down here the saints turn mean

Metallica's Hero of the Day

Mama they try and break me
The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where theyve gone

Theyre off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someones wicked way

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me

scuse me while I tend to how to feel
These things return to me that still seem real

Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

Dont want your aid
But the fist I make
For you,cant hold off fear
No not on me
So please excuse me
While I tend to how I feel

But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until its light
So cant you hear your babies crying now?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Cant you hear your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?

But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until its light
So cant you hear your babies crying now?

Mama they try and break me

Misheard:

Still the shadow burns
Time so slowly governs
