I don’t know if this has been mentioned before, but Sir Mix-A-Lot’s song, Baby Got Back (lyrics at http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/sirmixalot/babygotback.html ) has been translated into Greek and Latin.

The Greek version (with a literal translation back into English) can be found here: http://www.student.richmond.edu/~zp8we/greek%20rap.htm#_ftnref4

Unfortunately, on my machines most of the vowels show up as empty boxes :frowning:

The Latin version, again with a translation back into English, is here:

Excellent!

A good Unicode font will show everything. (Gentium is good, and free.)

If I understand the situation correctly, and it’s quite possible that I don’t, I can’t use Unicode fonts because my machines come with ASCII fonts.

This is, quite possibly one of the funniest links I’ve seen in a long time. My grandson loves this song, so much in fact, that he sang it for one of my pastors when we were on a fishing trip (he heard the song in the first Shrek Movie) we were all laughing so hard at a 6 year old singing Sir-Mix-Alot we almost had to go home.

hmmmm…I wonder if anyone would be offended if I stuck a line or two in my sig??? :smiling_imp:

Hey Guys,

This link is no longer valid…did anybody by chance copy this down…I was telling one of my Greek profs at school about it, and he said he’d really like to see it.

Anyone…anyone…?
