This one is actually kind of fun.  I stole it from atara, but I remember seeing ursulav posting something similar earlier today.

You go find a song that everybody knows and put the lyrics into the Babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/). Translate them from English to German, then German to French, and then French to English. Then post here with 3 clues. See who gets the song right first.


I admit that these songs may not all fall into the "everybody knows the lyrics" category, but none of them are that obscure.  I think.

The first one is the easiest, followed by two that become progressively more obscure.

Ooh, a storm threatens my life, if I do not receive a protection, OH- yeah which I fan wegkrieg go, children, is to him precisely a shooting today far, is to him a shooting is far Juste, of the children, is to him precisely a shooting far, is to him precisely a shooting far

1) Think "British invasion"
2) The name of the song is also the name of a movie
3) The movie came out in 1970

Thus, you give each other him all in the world legends, them on the leaning one are today completely and you me undertake the wars, are not saying me are for activity of force, it hold but me hangin ' with him is an occasional business, if each one you OH- like that they leave with higher dollar you it ring of collar of dog carry to pay, if each one you like

1) The band formed in LA in 1994
2) This song was on their debut album, which came out in 1996 (released in 1997)
3) The band has a rather invigourating name.

Spring starts, if that poundin an impact of heart ', if the birds on that can be intended reckonin ' karrt to make a deduction washes flowin ' in the direction of the farmer of Super who it ' is been ' gettin ' Reprieve of heat in the section of food of congelation (YaacAa)

1) This band formed in 1983
2) This song is off their 1998 album
3) When the band gets old enough they might have to join forces with The Replacements.

No idea -.-

Here's a real easy one:

And if your fear slows down and of the shades remain me to still know that you can like me, if there is on the left keins, the understanding to show if ever blackening

Early 1990s

Someone wanted to rerelease their songs, but the lead singer refused

OK, I have to admit defeat. My brain insists on trying to match it up with something by INXS, but I can't make any firm connections.

I had to use your Kingston hint from your later post and Google, but I finally got song #3: "Poets" by The Tragically Hip

Spring starts when a heartbeat's pounding
When the birds can be heard above the reckoning carts doing some final accounting
Lava flowing in Superfarmer's direction
He's been getting reprieve from the heat in the frozen-food section
