The Babelfish Song Scramble Opinion Game

Post by Emong » Tue Nov 27, 2007 10:11 am

Okays, inspired by Scott Green's thread and a forum game in Emilie Autumn forums that uses the same idea, I present you The Babelfish Song Scramble Opinion Game! :o

The rules are quite simple:
- Pick a song and a sample of the lyrics (preferably a chorus but could be a verse or anything)
- Translate the song into another language with Babelfish and then translate it back into English. It will mess up the lyrics but they'll still remain recognizable.



For example, here's the chorus of Misery Loves Company by Emilie Autumn:
Misery loves company
And company loves more
More loves everybody else
But hell is others
Then translated into French and then back in English:
Misery likes the company and the loves of company more of more than loves everyone differently but the hell is the different one


- Now, other people have to guess which song the lyrics are from and the first one guessing it right will receive a free op from the one who posted the lyrics.
- This is a loop game so when you guess right and receive your free op, you have to post new lyrics and then op the person who guesses right the lyrics you posted, and so on. But wait for a confirmation of the right answer from the original poster before posting any new lyrics.
- You can have as many guesses as you wish

And one thing yet: I suggest not posting lyrics from an ultra-rare band. Because then this thread will get to a dead end :roll: Also, only post lyrics that are in English

Though I still feel like this game might be dead before it even starts..

*

So, I start with this:
I want it now that I want it now gives myself your heart and your heart and me am bright me am last chance of bursting to lose the order
It's a chorus from a song translated into French and then back into English. The one who guesses it right, will get a free op from me. Go! :D

Hmm...I'm not usually the first to post to things like this; it feels sorta strange. But hey, this is totally better than doing all that homework that's been piling up. :)

Anyway! I'm gonna say Hysteria, by Muse? But I've gotta admit, I've been on a Muse kick for about a week and half now, so I kinda feel like I'm cheating. :roll:

No! Don't let it die!

I want it now
give me your heart and your soul
and I'm breaking out
I'm breaking out
last chance to lose control

Both answers were correct but Aeri was first so Aeri will get the op :D (sry, Nariko_sama..) Your op will be up in a couple days. So, which AMV you want me to op?

And you can post your scrambled lyrics now =P

Hmmm...how about this one? But if you think a different one'd be easier/more beneficial to op, feel free. I just like to know what people think. :D

And on to the lyrics!
I wish to judge it near skin still pressed against me tight lie and close your girl of the eyes therefore beautiful, thinks therefore of right
This is the chorus of a song, translated to Italian and back to English. Good luck!

Not quite, it's a much more recent band. :wink: That's a good guess though, I never would have made that connection normally. I think this thread is gonna draw some really interesting lines between songs that would never be thought of together in any other situation. This should be fun. :)

Yep! (I love that song too!) Let me know what you would like me to op, and pick your lyrics. :)
