This is fabulous! Of course, trying to go from one language to another when you don't speak one of those languages is always an adventure :razz: I was reminded of this clip a friend found on YouTube of the Bulgarian version of "Idol" with a woman trying to sing that Mariah Carey song we all know and love, "Ken Lee". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT18LZItBLA

She actually claimed her 15 mins of fame with her Bulgarian audience. As you can see they loved her! :lol: :lol: :lol:

So, whether it's "Ken Lee" or "Uncanny Din: A Rant", it brings a laugh and the world needs more laughs. And after all, laughter is the universal language.

Somhow, Youtube tells me I cannot watch the video because it contains music licensed by Sony, and that apparently is not anything Germans are entitled to watch... :? Shame! However, I have got something to contributre as well, as there is a very good misheard lyrics version of Orff's "Oh Fortuna" / "Oh Four Tuna" - one of my favourites really: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KaOV3dBlts

That was so funny :lol: :lol:
I would never have thought of this words when listening to this song (I learned some new words by the way, thank you!), as for once I don't have to concentrate to understand the meaning!
