Worst game of Telephone evar.

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Moving on now to the fight song lyrics of my favorite collegiate sports team ...
"Hail! to the victors valiant Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes Hail! Hail! to Michigan The leaders and best! Hail! to the victors valiant Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes Hail! Hail! to Michigan, The champions of the West!"
...56 translations later we get:
"Enjoy! ผ ใ oogknauarhey T! Heroes, densmsei! Enjoy God! Michigan deoynrorhar! Hi! ผ ใ oogknakhoonghey T! Heroes, densmsei! Enjoy God! Michigan! Uesutantshanpyon."
I have absolutely no idea what that said. Trying one more song
"Lets go surfin now Everybodys learning how Come on and safari with me (come on and safari with...)"
...56 translations later we get:
"Information Today, and Safari (the father of Animal ,...) Park."

I've missed this thread... and college fight songs are great fodder. (I messed with the number of translations settings for best results.)

My school's fight song:
"Bear down you Bears of old Baylor U, We're all for you! Go Bears! You know we'll show that old Baylor spirit through and through! Go Bears! Come on and fight then with all your might ye Bruins bold, And win all our victories for the green and gold!"

...40 translations later we get:

"My husband and I are prepared to destroy the old Baylor! ! Hotel Old Bailey in the end, you know! ! In addition, thick green, gold, and set"
And my alma mater:
"That good old Baylor line, That good old Baylor line, We'll march forever down the years As long as stars shall shine, We'll fling our green and gold afar to light the ways of time, And guide us as we onward go, That good old Baylor line."

...20 translations later we get:

"It's the Old Bailey Old Baylor Line, for many years until the boots of stars, long, green when the road is a provocative, the line of Baylor's golden age."

"Give 'em the pickle."
[RIGHT]...56 translations later we get:[/RIGHT]
"Problems on Monday."
Not quite what Bob Ferrell first said.


And since we are doing fight songs...
"Oregon, our Alma Mater We will guard thee on and on Let us gather round and cheer her Chant her glory Oregon Roar the praises of her warriors Sing the story Oregon On to victory urge the heroes Of our mighty Oregon! Go Ducks Go! Fight Ducks Fight! Go"
[RIGHT]...56 translations later we get:[/RIGHT]
"แม่ ของโอเรกอนอัลม่าและแม่ของเธอมีเรื่องราวที่ดีบางของกาชาดของหลักสูตรการ เคารพในชื่อเสียงและความนิยมของโอเรกอนลงคะแนนทหารโอเรกอน! Go badger go! 845 badger? Therefore,"

And of course, their mortal enemies, the Beavers:

"OSU, our hats are off to you Beavers, Beavers, fighters through and through We'll root for every man, we'll cheer for every stand That's made for old OSU. Watch our team go tearing down the field Men of iron, their strength will never yield."
[RIGHT]...56 translations later we get:[/RIGHT]
"Oregon, Oregon State University, University ragonden problem in all cases and severity of Structural steel and light in this area."

And the song continues:
"Hail, hail, hail, hail Hail to old OSU."
[RIGHT]...56 translations later we get:[/RIGHT]
"River, snow, and the next stone Portland State University."
The scariest part of that is that it somehow linked PSU to OSU. Same state, wrong school.


Let's try the Service Standards:
"Safety Courtesy Show Efficiency"
[RIGHT]...56 translations later we get:[/RIGHT]
"Think about the safety and Effectiveness."

And then, of course, the Basics:

"I project a positive image and energy."
[RIGHT]...56 translations later we get:[/RIGHT]
"Working group leader"
"I am courteous and respectful to all guests, including children."
[RIGHT]...56 translations later we get:[/RIGHT]
"Including children, the crossroads of all Passengers."
"I stay in character and play the part."
[RIGHT]...56 translations later we get:[/RIGHT]
"However, the nature and significance."
"I go above and beyond."
[RIGHT]...56 translations later we get:[/RIGHT]
"Furthermore,"

I pulled up memories of my three semesters at Oklahoma Baptist University and got one of the best ones yet:
Original text:
"OBU all hail thy name, Sons and daughters honor thee, May thy standard green and gold lead eternally, Proudly stand on Bison Hill, neath the windswept sky, Alma Mater we will praise thee as the years go by."

...56 translations later we get:

"No Contravention of the children green and gold, copper from the tree supports a Volcanic tunnel with a hammer."
Funny, I don't remember the "Volcanic tunnel" in central Oklahoma. Maybe it was just for juniors and seniors.

Verse two:
Original text:
"When the shades of evening fall through the hush of fading day, Silent voices praise thy name, hearts look up to pray, May thy spirit guide thy sons, keep thy daughters true, Loyal to our Alma Mater, God bless OBU!"

...56 translations later we get:
"Happy and peaceful night he died, God, fire, and prayed to God, and the children, but her mother, uenreynraeamnr!"
I'm guessing "uenreynraeamnr" was the sound "he" made when he died. Doesn't sound "happy and peaceful" to me!

And finally, our nonsense yell, the "Ka-rip":
Original text:
"Ka-rip ka-rap, ka riplo tiplo tap! Oh oh rincto lincto hio totimus, hopula skipula copula gotimus, chink to lack, chink to lee, ka-willa ka-walla ka victory! Oh oh hoogula choogula choogula can, ragula tagula mellican man! Let 'er go rip! Let 'er go ruse! Tingula tangula turn 'em aloose! Zip! Bang! OBU!""

...50 translations later we get:
"Ripley crash, three ... Oh, oh, yes, that gotimus totimus rincto lincto thick test, which is too large, it was found that the game this time! Oh, oh, whining hoogula Mellican hot yellow sign! And she is! The title? Tang Tingular feet! Zip! Uh! Go!"
(It actually makes more sense!)

I just couldn't resist. The Notre Dame Victory March:

"Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame, wake up the echoes cheering her name! Send a volley cheer on high, shake down the thunder from the skies! What though the odds be great or small, old Notre Dame will win over all""

...56 translations later we get:

"Carried note lady to name! เวลาได้บอกฉันเป็นสวรรค์! In other words, by a small, old big note lady."

The following song is broken down by verse. The original song was Part Of Your World as heard in Disney's The Little Mermaid. Places where I had to break to keep one verse together (and because I had a character limit of 250), there is a space. The new song is titled Blood, which I came to by putting just the title into the form.
Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?

Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you think
Sure, she's got everything

I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I've got twenty!
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
Walking around on those - what do you call 'em?
Oh - feet!


Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down a - what's that word again?
Street


Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free - wish I could be
Part of that world

What would I give if I could live out of these waters?

What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?
Bet'cha on land they understand
That they don't reprimand their daughters
Proper women sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know

Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it - what's the word?
Burn?

When's it my turn?

Wouldn't I love, love to explore that world up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world

Clearly, this is not good. My conclusion. I do not think women are always either.

Agreement on a series of holes? Most everyone knows the conclusion.

Vhozits eve of the Presidential couple? 20, for real?

I know I can see - the name and said Brenna - Oh, my foot.

Your way - the Philippines, the trees are not directly

Some of the world - I believe that one day.

Nanmyeon can not live without water? Beach, country, I do not know how to use ice training pool patient

- I have no solution to this problem, or that you can not get the question.

My world is not part of the world is replaced or CD
A 249 word song, captured in 116. Now that's what I call efficiency!
