Lost in Translation?

From Lori’s site:

1. Take the lyrics to a favorite song.
2. Go to Google Language Tools and translate the lyrics into German; then from German to French; and finally from French back into English.
3. Post the results verbatim.
4. Invite your friends to guess the song based on the newly mangled lyrics.

“There keep of Oh- I you by the window and me absurd thus bound in top to you stare of wear nothing however you wear him wellbeing and, does not come the manner which I would like to be for you, for me, demolition in me”

   “Oh I watch you there
   through the window
   And I stare at you
   You wear nothing but you
   wear it so well
   tied up and twisted
   the way I’d like to be
   For you, for me, come crash
   into me”
   -DMB, “Crash Into Me”

   Here’s another “fun” thing to try. Take the result, put it back into English->French followed by French->German and German->English. The result obviously will not be the same as the original (or will it be?). Then take the correlation of the result and the original. You’ll get a number… OK I don’t know where I’m going with this! But this number probably means something! Food for thought.
