This is such a fun thread! Re: translations, I remember the story told to me by a marketing director of Northwest Orient Airlines. They used to have a song lyrics, "put wings to your heart" in ads. When they translated it into ads for Japan, the song became, "put feathers on your blood pump". I also recall John Prine relating the experience of having a fan request that he sing the "Happy Enchilada" song. She had heard the lyric "half an inch of water" as "happy enchilada". Alice
