That’s right, that’s right
I’m sad and blue
Cuz I can’t do the boogaloo
I’m lost, I’m lost
Can’t do my thing
That’s why I sing, gimme gimme dat ding!

Any of you Benny Hill fans might recognize this catchy little tune by the Pipkins as one of several in a medley used during his chase scenes. The following video starts out with the tune the Muppets made famous… Mahna, Mahna, followed immediately by Gimme Dat Ding!

I ran across this video the other day, quite by accident. I was once again lost on YouTube looking for scenes from Blazing Saddles. I found the fart scene from that movie, which led to a farting Star Trek video (which is fodder for another post), which in turn led to this video, the Farting Preacher. The hubby and I were rolling. Tears were literally streaming down our eyes from laughter. I sent it to a friend and she couldn’t even finish it, she was laughing so hard. There is nothing as funny as a well-timed fart and whoever made this video is a comedy genius! Enjoy… The Farting Preacher.

With so many different languages and cultures around the world, sometimes things get lost in translation. This was very evident to me the other night while perusing YouTube. There is no end of videos, most of them pretty hilarious, that take full advantage of misunderstandings and mistranslations between languages. Here are a few of my favorite examples:

Dschinghis Khan’s “Moskau!” as “translated” into English by Buffalax. This isn’t really an English translation, but rather what the song sounds like if you assume it’s sung in English, which it isn’t.

The next video never ceases to crack me up.

And once again, Dschinghis Khan with “Samurai”.

Now, here’s a clip from Bulgarian Idol. Apparently, this lady is attempting to sing “Without You” by Mariah Carey. However, she calls it “Ken Lee” and well, her English pronunciation isn’t all that great. LOL.
