Play Along!
Here’s how you play:
Copy some English lyrics - it works best if they’re lyrics everybody would know - into babelfish
and translate them into Japanese. Copy the Japanese characters back into babelfish and re-translate them back into English.
Then post the re-translated lyrics here and see if someone can guess the song.
I’ll start us off with an easy one:

Hi Guys:
What happens if you come up with a million dollar seller from a million dollar song? Who gets to spend the copyright fees?
Something like that could become the daily “Brain Teaser” in the morning paper…
Bill…
Hmmm, Bob Dylan, Lay Lady Lay ?
An easy one

Hmmm… first thought is “Blinded By The Light” but that feels wrong.
EDIT - BTW, we didn’t hear back from spambot to confirm but I agree with the guess that his post was “Lay Lady Lay”. - EDIT

Good one Bill.
I’m thinking Cliff’s song is Neil Young’s “Don’t Let It Bring You Down”
Maybe we should have a rule like: “whoever guesses correctly gets to propose another”.
Just a thought - so we don’t end up with twenty going at once. What do you think?
Good Idea Bill. My feeble brain was confusing the last two together!
Well, I don’t want to set the rules. We should see if we need such a rule then get a consensus.

Like g8torcliff’s is driving me nuts now.

Just read this part of your post - for sure that’s it.
Oh, that’s an excellent one! And good for you figuring it out - I was totally stumped.
