Yetanother meme: take a song, run it through Babelfish, from English to Italian to French to German, then back into English again. So

A doddle, Alison? Try this, then -- the last verse of a song, rather than the first:

Is not there the road, a simple main street between that the night and so gone morning-grey and the darkness can nobody follow that the distance for only your ripples of points is in calm water, if it is not us mole role, which became born the wind, in order to jump it that they select lead follow must, but if you fall completely only fallen that so then it levers in feet, which has, to lead them if I knew, feels you I it takes you the seat.

Now this one is a doddle for me. But I have the advantages of a) having heard Fred Levy Haskell sing it innumerable times and b) having it be a closing song for the Winnipeg Folk Festival Baggicon bunch.

With these things, it seems to be a gestalt for me. Either I recognize it right off, or I don't. It's seldom that I'm able to puzzle it out.

Sorry, I didn't see this when you posted it. I don't know this song at all (all songs in this game appear to be divided between ones I can solve and ones I have never heard -- I think because people only choose memorable lyrics). But with l33t google fu it is transparently a song called "Ripple" by the Grateful Dead.

Happy Birthday?

So I combined many blogging thingies, and ran the "Happy Birthday Song" through the Babelfish process, which resulted in the following (to be sung aloud, if you can find a tune that works):

Good birthday.
Good birthday.
Good birthday of expensive Teresa!
Good birthday.
