Simpsons: See My Vest

A season six episode of the Simpsons from 1995, Two Dozen and One Greyhounds, has a plot that is heavily inspired by the Disney film One Hundred and One Dalmations, where Mr. Burns intends to steal twenty five greyhound puppies for a tuxedo. As if his animal creulty beliefs weren't strong enough, he has a whole song about how he turns creatures into clothes, to the music of Beauty and the Beast's Be Our Guest. What if we asked Abe Simpson what he heard if he listened to the song?

Original lyricsTranslated lyrics
Some men hunt for sport,We have to play with the men
Others hunt for food,Other food wolves
The only thing I'm hunting for,All I'm looking for,
Is an outfit that looks good...There is a dress that looks good ...

See my vest, see my vest,Look at my vest, look at my west,
Made from real gorilla chest,Made by the actual gorilla diet,
Feel this sweater, there's no better,Feel this sweater, it's not better
Than authentic Irish setter.To receive a setter forth of Ireland in regard to things.

See this hat, 'twas my cat,See the hat, "my cat"
My evening wear - vampire bat,My evening dress - vampire bat,
These white slippers are albinoThese white shoes are albino.
African endangered rhino.African witches are threatened with extinction.

Grizzly bear underwear,Grizzly bear underwear,
Turtles' necks, I've got my share,Turtle neck, I'm on my side,
Beret of poodle, on my noodleBeer beer, my noodles
It shall rest,He will rest,

Try my red robin suit,Robin, because the cause of that was red;
It comes one breast or two,One or two breasts come
See my vest, see my vest,Check out the vest, look at the vest,
See my vest.Vest check out

Like my loafers? Former gophers -Like my pumpkin? Old Secret -
It was that or skin my chauffeurs,That's the skin of my drivers,
But a greyhound fur tuxedoA tuxedo made of greyhound fur.
Would be best,But if that was the best thing,

So let's prepare these dogs,Let us go, then, sing their preparations;
(Kill two for matching clogs,)(Kill two by matching wooden shoes)
See my vest, see my vest,Look at my vest, look at my west,
see my vestmy video

Like my loafers? Former gophers -Loafers like me? Former Gophers -
It was that or skin my chauffeurs,This driver was my skin,
But a greyhound fur tuxedoBut bad fur
Would be best,It would be better

So let's prepare these dogs,So we prepare these dogs,
(Kill two for matching clogs,)(Killing two Turks);
See my vest, see my vest,See, see it in her arms
oh please won't you see my vestOh, please, do not see my jacket

You see them in the newspaper, the TV guide and those tabloids that always seem to occupy the waiting area of take outs and the waiting room for the doctor or dentist. You may even have a quick skim if you're not in a rush. Horoscopes are vague enough at the best of times, but what if the position of the planets and secrets of the stars were viewed through Google Translate? Astonishingly it makes more sense than you'd expect...

Film: Airplane (1980)

What’s Google Translate? It’s a polylingual word mangler, but that’s not important right now.

In 1980 a film written by David Zucker, Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams wrote and directed Airplane! (titled Flying High! in Australia and New Zealand), a film that takes the plot of the film Zero Hour!, and twists it to become a parody of the disaster film genre. It’s a very well known film because of its non-stop jokes and very quotable lines. Let’s take some and turn them into something even Johnny would stop and pause to look at.

Original quoteTranslated quote
It was a rough place - the seediest dive on the wharf. Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit.It was a difficult place - worst management of a mule. With each marriage and brave in Bombay Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.I chose the wrong week to quit smoking.
I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.I'm serious And Simon doesn't speak.
Shana, they bought their tickets. They knew what they were getting into. I say, let 'em crash!Small, so that train tickets have been purchased last. I knew I'd go to them. I refuse it, let's say!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your stewardess speaking. We regret any inconvenience the sudden cabin movement might have caused. This is due to periodic air pockets we encountered. There's no reason to become alarmed and we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?Mothers and brothers, this is your authority. We are grateful for the inconvenience that created a building process. This is due to the plane based. There is no reason to worry about us and we hope you enjoy the rest of the plane. On the way, is there any person on the plane that is known to fly on the plane?

TV: My name is Victoria Winters

In 1966 ABC aired the premiere episode of Dark Shadows, a gothic soap opera that became well known by taking the gothic atmosphere, supernatural happenings and literature and cinema of the time and mixing it with the typical soap opera dysfunction. However it started out a lot differently, initially following a newly employed governess and her search for answers. As Vicki says:

"My name is Victoria Winters. My journey is beginning, a journey that I hope will open the doors of life to me and link my past with my future, a journey that will bring me to a strange and dark place, to the edge of the sea, high atop Widows' Hill, a house called Collinwood, a world I've never known, with people I've never met, people who tonight are still only shadows in my mind, but who will soon fill the days and nights of my tomorrows."

Now the very first lines ever spoken on the show will face a force that even the Dark Lord trembles in fear of, Google Translate...

Victoria my name winter. My journey is expected, that will open up the doors of life to me and get in touch with my future trip will give me an amazing place and darkness will take my time, the sea, the hills, the house A world that is called Collinwood I started in on the edge of ever, a travel people I have never met, but people are not the only time in their mental shadow, but some days, and my days will be tomorrow. For

Yeah, the run on sentence didn't help the weirdness.

Song: Zero by Imagine Dragons

The band Imagine Dragons released the song Zero as the second single for their 2018 album Origins. It was also used in the promotion for the film Ralph Breaks the Internet, appearing in one of the trailers and the end credits.

Original LyricsTranslated lyrics
I find it hard to say the things I want to say the mostI find it hard to say that I want to say that that matters most
Find a little bit of steady as I get closeIt is fixed, the things will come a little closer
Find a balance in the middle of the chaosFind a balance in the midst of chaos
Send me low, send me high, send me never demigodToday I will never be able to send a low virgin
I remember walking in the cold of NovemberRemember to be cooled in November
Hoping that I make it to the end of DecemberHope for the end of December
27 years and the end of my mindMy last 27 years
But holding to the thought of another timeBut only to keep the thought
But looking to the ways at the ones before meAnd even then, does not it have to see the way?
Looking for the path of the young and lonelyYou were the only one looking for a young man and was doing a trip
I don't want to hear about what to doDo not listen to anybody
I don’t want to do it just to do it for youWe want to do what you do
Hello, helloHi Hi
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zeroHe said: Truly, I say to you that it is zero
Let me show you what it's like to always feel, feelI feel that I am always with me, and I will show it to you who he looks like:
Like I’m empty and there's nothing really real, realI am empty and nothing is real, true
I'm looking for a way outAfter that?
Hello, helloHello Hello
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zeroAnd he said: I tell you that it is not
Let me show you what it's like to never feel, feelLet me show you how you feel, feel
Like I'm good enough for anything that's real, realI want to see something that is very true
I'm looking for a way outThen me?
I find it hard to tell you how I want to run awayIt's hard to say they want to talk
I understand it always makes you feel a certain wayLet me think about it, the ability to experience
I find a balance in the middle of the chaosI can not find in the middle of the balance
Send me up, send me down, send me never demigodLet me go away, they have sent me or God
I remember walkin’ in the heat of the summerAnd remember Walkin 'heat in the summer
Wide-eyed one with a mind full of wonderGoogly eyes, with a trance
27 years and I’ve nothing to showNothing will show 27 years
Falling from the doves to the dark of the crowDark pigeons with raven fall
Looking to the ways of the ones before meCall now in front of your eyes
Looking for the path of the young and lonelyYou are looking for young people and travel alone
I don't want to hear about what to do, noWhat they want to listen to can not hurt,
I don’t want to do it just to do it for youWe want you
Hello, helloHello Hello
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zeroHe said: Truly, I say to you that it is zero
Let me show you what it's like to always feel, feelI feel it, I'll show you who he is like me, and should at all times, feel,
Like I'm empty and there’s nothing really real, realI am empty and nothing like reality, real
I'm looking for a way outThen me?
Hello, helloHi Hi
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zeroAnd he said: I tell you that it is not
Let me show you what it's like to never feel, feelI feel you have to pretend;
Like I'm good enough for anything that's real, realI want to see something that is absolutely real
I'm looking for a way outAfter that?
Let me tell you 'bout it, well let me tell you 'bout itI have a problem that you say you want to fight
Maybe you're the same as meMaybe you are like me
Let me tell you 'bout it, well let me tell you 'bout itI have a problem that you say you want to fight
They say the truth will set you freeThey tell you the truth
Hello, helloHello Hello

Introduction

Hi everybody,

This blog will be all about taking advantage of free web translation services, namely Google Translate. The premise is simple, put some text, being it song lyrics, quotes, lines of dialogue, ad slogans etc, put it in Google Translate, run the text through a bunch of languages and back into english, and see what's come out. That's pretty much it. No big lofty goals, just something to make you smile if you're in the mood or having a rough day.

I'm aiming to publish new translations Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, an hoping to stockpile enough material to keep this going for a while.

For requests, please note that I will only be translating what is legally free and available to the public, and will not translate any content like book passages or particularly spoilerific or plot heavy material relating to narratives like books, TV show and movies. Classic material like Shakespeare is fair game though, and it's been around long enough that statute of limitations on spoilers ran out years and years ago. Any audiovisual material will be linked to on the post, and if limited excerpts are all there is, links to where the material can be purchased will be provided.
