As subtle as a fish in the ear.

Named after the Universal translating fish that fits in your ear in "The
Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this WWW page translates text.  How WELL
it does that is a different story!

How about a little Frere Jacques?

Jacques brothers, Jacques Brother,
Do you Sleep, sleep you? 
Sound the matines, sound the matines, 
DIN, DIN, gift! DIN, DIN, gift! 

O.K. So it's French is a little off.  Let's try "La Bamba" (this version
has more verses than Richie Valens' version)

In order to dance the Bamba, to dance the Bamba 
one little is needed grace grace one little and another small thing 
ay above and above ay above and above by you sere 
I am not marine I I am not marine 
I am captain I am captain I am Bamba captain 
the Bamba Bamba the Bamba Bamba the Bamba Bamba the Bamba 

In order to raise the sky to raise the sky, stairs are needed 
releases long stairs and another small thing 
ay above and above ay above and above with you ire 
I am not marine I I am not marine 
I am captain I am captain I am Bamba captain the Bamba... 

(Some funny words follow)
To be secretary to be secretary a very short skirt is needed 
a very short skirt but ademas a very long leg a very long leg by you sere 
I am not marine... 

to be marine to be marine chibichanga is needed good good chibichanga 
and another small thing your you are marine 
your you are not marine neither your nor, 
I I am captain I am captain... 


Ah, yes, that's much better!
