How to participate: choose a song (preferably whose lyrics you know). Go to Babel Fish. Type the lyrics into the "Translate a block of text" area, set the language to "English to Japanese", then hit translate. When the results come up in Japanese characters, clear the English text, copy / paste the Japanese into the text block, then translate from Japanese back to English. The results will be pure Engrish.

Paste the Engrish lyrics into your own LJ, website, wherever, and challenge visitors to guess the original song.


Now, I have found through extensive scientific testing that the best results are gained from translation to and from Korean, so that's what I've done here.


This hour me too much it will be unkind
and talking too much plentifully
it will change a thought and theyn the place
but that Iss, me, there is when to go out it thinks me
sensibility the be thing the i' It talks a m
and theyn place me it goes out
and the fact that it laughs in the fraud
which it tries regarding it handguard it all
comfort it tries, me regarding it it hides
a tear inside the eye because boy don'
The t the boy don' whom it shouts;
The t shout and me which laugh in your foot
and the station throw away
in order to beg a forgiveness you
and argue but the it'
The s it is late too much and now the there'
The s anything is the possibility of doing
to go out I is Iss and he is like this
and me he goes out, in because
boy don'
The t regarding it me which it shouts
it hides a tear inside the eye
in the fraud the fact that it laughs
regarding it when it all comfort
the fact that it laughs it will spread out
but or it will stay theyn the place,
to go out it thinks a handguard,
to go out it will be extensive
and with the fact that it loves me
it will talk to you, theyn the place thing the it'
The s that you' which the use throws away;
The ve already egg ten:00 bedspreads

It did little more you will carry in necessity
it will push your limit and and it had too much
and and far it went and and
and it thought the i which it presents hazard
the extensive vessel now me which it judges,
in me by side it will be extensive it turns
and anyone which is big most to receive,
it hangs but to do but me,
a tear only to maintain in laughter in
because boy don'
The t the boy don' whom it shouts;
The t the boy don' whom it shouts;
The t it hided inside my eye which it shouts


That's actually much more gibberish than my previous experiences have been. It seems that the contractions really tripped it up. I think they must have changed the algorithm, or else my having Asian text support (when did that happen?) is changing things, or both, because my favourite example (cat butt! CAT BUTT!, while silly in itself, somehow came back with a phrase inserted about computers and prosecuting attorneys; we always figured the all capital letters was confusing it) no longer works. :(
