Worst Songs Week: Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm ~ by Crash Test Dummies

I have a confession to make. I actually kind of like this song. It's just so odd and strange, I have to like it. But since it was on Blender's "Run for Your Life! It's the 50 Worst Songs Ever!" list at #31 I though I would add it. I think the mistranslation will be interesting. Here's what Blender wrote about the song:

You know that jerk at your office who can burp the alphabet? That’s the way Brad Roberts sings. On this 1994 single, his voice is a ludicrously bassy croak as he narrates supposed “slice-of-life” stories that land with a dull thud: A car hits one kid and turns his hair white; another’s covered in birthmarks; the last has genuflecting, churchgoing parents. Sure, white hair’s weird and evangelicals are weirder, but why are you telling us this? Moreover, why do you insist on humming the chorus? You sound like E.T. crossed with Barry White, dude!



Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm ~ by Crash Test Dummies

1) Once there was this kid who
2) Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
3) But when he finally came back
4) His hair had turned from black into bright white
5) He said that it was from when
6) The car had smashed so hard

7) Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
8) Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

9) Once there was this girl who
10) Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
11) But when they finally made her
12) They saw birthmarks all over her body
13) She couldn't quite explain it
14) They'd always just been there

15) Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
16) Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

17) But both girl and boy were glad
18) 'Cause one kid had it worse than that

19) 'Cause then there was this boy whose
20) Parents made him come directly home right after school
21) And when they went to their church
22) They shook and lurched all over the church floor
23) He couldn't quite explain it
24) They'd always just gone there

25) Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
26) Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With the Collision Test Dummy Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

1) When there is this child
2) Being obtained in accident, it comes to the school
3) But the time he returned finally
4) That hair turned from black to bright white
5) He said that it was from sometime
6) The car was broken so eagerly

7)
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
8)
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

9)
When there is this girl
10) It did not go with the girl of the modification room and it does not change
11) But the time those made her finally
12) They looked at the birthmark her body without the ku ma
13) She could not rather explain that
14) Exactly there were those always there

15)
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
16)
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

17)
But the girl and the boy both were delightful
18) It was that it is worse to the child of cause one

19) As for cause then it was this boy there
20) The parent has the house come directly immediately after the school
21) When those go into the church
22) They shook the church floor without the ku ma, tilted suddenly
23) He could not rather explain that
24) Those went there always exactly

25)
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
26)
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

26) We'll dance all night until the band goes home
27) Then you're gone... yeah baby

1) Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you
2) Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
3) Flashback, warm nights
4) Almost left behind
5) Suitcases of memories
6) Time after

7) Sometimes you picture me
8) I'm walking too far ahead
9) You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said
10) Then you say go slow
11) I fall behind
12) The second hand unwinds

13) If you're lost you can look and you will find me
14) Time after time
15) If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
16) Time after time

17) After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
18) Watching through windows you're wondering if I'm OK
19) Secrets stolen from deep inside
20) The drum beats out of time

21) If you're lost you can look and you will find me
22) Time after time
23) If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
24) Time after time

25) You said go slow
26) I fall behind
27) The second hand unwinds

28) If you're lost you can look and you will find me
29) Time after time
30) If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
31) Time after time

32) Time after time
33) Time after time
34) Time after time
35) Time after time

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Time Rear Time the Cyndi Lauper Work

1) There being my bed, I hear the sound of the clock, concerning you
2) Overtaking with circle, is not necessarily new confusion
3) Flashback, warm night
4) It almost makes desertion
5) Suitcase of memory
6) Rear time

7) Occasionally I am drawn
8) I am walking excessively directly to the front
9) Me in me, it cannot inquire about what you said, it calls
10) Then it is the strategy which can be delayed deliberately
11) I lag behind
12) It undoes the second hand

13) If it can see and it is lost, I am found
14) Time rear time
15) Time the be as for me I wait, you catch
16) Time rear time

17) Turned the darkness my image and after atrophying, to gray
18) Whether or not I am good, passing by the window, you think in supervisory doubt
19) The secret which is stolen from inside is deep
20) Drum sound from time

21) If it can see and it is lost, I am found
22) Time rear time
23) Time the be as for me I wait, you catch
24) Time rear time

25) It was the strategy which can be delayed deliberately
26) I lag behind
27) It undoes the second hand

28) If it can see and it is lost, I am found
29) Time rear time
30) Time the be as for me I wait, you catch
31) Time rear time
32) Time rear time
33) Time rear time
34) Time rear time
35) Time rear time

Internet Geek Week: Top Ten

Here are the top ten funniest lines from Internet Geek Week.


1. From Chocolate Rain:
Original: The school books say it can't be here again

Mistranslation: As for the textbook it means that for the second time it cannot turn to be here

2. From Candy Mountain:
Original: They've got lolly pops and gummy drops and candy things
Mistranslation:
Those have the thing of the explosion sound of lolly and decrease and the candy of stickiness


3. From Candy Mountain:
Original: It's impossible to wear a frown in Candy Town

Mistranslation: It is impossible to learn the grimacing aspect of town of the candy

4. From Trogdor:
Original: Whoa, this has wicked dueling guitar solos!

Mistranslation: Remain there is a solo of the guitar of cunning duel, Whoa!

5. From Candy Mountain:
Original: So now Charlie please will you go into the cave
Mistranslation: So now it enters into the Chiyari cave


6. From Peanut Butter Jelly Time:
Original: Now tick-tack-toe (uh huh)
Mistranslation: This time through kachikachi sound the rivet toe (uh haatsu)


7. From Candy Mountain:
Original: Turn around, it astounds, it's the dancing candy tree

Mistranslation: The wood of the dance candy which, that it surprises, is that does again to face

8. From Trogdor:
Original: THATCHED-ROOF COTTAGES!

Mistranslation: IN MOSQUITO NET ROOFING COTTAGES OF ROOF!

9. From Chocolate Rain:
Original: Flippin' cars in France the other night

Mistranslation: The French car is repelled the other night

10. From Trogdor:
Original: SQUIGGLY WINS!
Mistranslation: SQUIGGLY VICTORY!




From now on, I think I will take just a little more creative license and drop or rearrange some words in the mistranslations. Even though it won't be an accurate mistranslation (oxymoron?) it will still have the essence of the mistranslation. I think it will be necessary for comedic effect to do this because some of the lines just become a mouthful or are worded weirdly to the point that the words are in a strange order and just aren't funny. Come back next week for hopefully a more improved Universal Language of Mankind.

Internet Geek Week: Trogdor ~ by Strong Bad

We'll finish out the week with a song about a man, I mean a dragon man, or maybe just a dragon. Anyway, even if you've never heard of Homestarrunner, you may have heard this song if you've ever played Guitar Hero 2 (It's one of the songs you can unlock).

14) It's like, Squiggly versus Meedley over here.
15) Go Squiggly!
16) Go Squiggly!
17) SQUIGGLY WINS!)

18) When all the land is in ruin,
19) And burnination has forsaken the countryside,
20) Only one guy will remain.

21) My money's on TROGDOR!
22) TROGDOR!

23) And the Trogdor comes in the NIGHT!

If you don't know what that's from then you'll know by the end of this post. It's from Charlie the Unicorn by Jason Steele over at Film Cow. The song featured in Charlie the Unicorn is called Candy Mountain and was written by a friend and collaborator of Jason's named Robert Benfer. Robert's website is called Knox's Korner. He does a lot of funny claymation stuff. Anyway, here's the song.



Candy Mountain by Robert Benfer

1) Oh, when you're down and looking for some cheering up,
2) Then just head right on up to the candy mountain cave.
3) When you get inside you'll find yourself a cheery land,
4) Such a happy and joyful and perky merry land.
5) They've got lolly pops and gummy drops and candy things,
6) Oh so many things that will brighten up your day.
7) It's impossible to wear a frown in Candy Town,
8) It's the mecca of love the candy cave.

9) They've got jelly beans, and coconuts with little hats,
10) Candy rats, choco bats, it's a wonderland of sweets.
11) Ride the candy train to town and hear the candy band,
12) Candy bells, it's a treat as they march across the land.
13) Cheery ribbons stream across the sky into the ground,
14) Turn around, it astounds, it's the dancing candy tree.
15) In the candy cave imagination runs so free,
16) So now Charlie please will you go into the cave.
