Blame it on Michael...

...who gave me the idea of using the "Jumpin' Jack Flash" lyrics.

I mean, what else am I supposed to do? I am the size of a house and I hardly want to practice pelvic rocking all day or dwell on the existential terror of what is about to happen me. Therefore, without further ado, here is "Jumpin' Jack Flash," translated into Chinese by Babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/)and then back into English.

I am possibly the most immature person in the world.

"I was born in exchange fire the hurricane
and I now to howl have called in mine ma in the driving rain,
but it all, in fact, is gas!
But it all is correct.
Im jumpin jack flash, its gas! Gas! Gas!

I do not have the tooth by, has the beard the sorceress has raised,
I am now educated stretched across with the leather belt my behind,
but it all, in fact, is gas! But its all rights,
Im jumpin jack flash, its gas! Gas! Gas!

I was submerged, I and left have been washed am the dead.
I tumbled and I saw them to my foot to bleed.
I have knit the brows in the bread outer covering bread filings.
I am capped to the nail passed my head.

But it now all, in fact, is gas! But its all rights,
Im jumpin jack flash, its gas! Gas! Gas!
Jumps the movement flash,
its gas jumps the movement flash,
its gas jumps the movement flash,
its gas jumps the movement flash,
its gas jumps the movement flash."

The English-Russian-English translation was pretty good, too, but what is "SVO gas"? Anyone?

"I was originated in cross-fire hurricane
and I howled on my ma in governing the rain,
but its all right now, in actuality, SVO gas!
But its entirely right.
Flash of nest jumpin it, its gas! gas! gas!

I was raised toothless, bearded hag,
I was trained with the right of the lath through my tail end,
but its all right now, in actuality, SVO gas!
But its entire right,
the it flash of nest jumpin, its is gas! gas! gas!

I was sunk, I was washed upward and to the left for the dead persons.
I fell up to my feet and I saw they it bled.
I frowned on the crumbs of korky of bread.
Yeah, yeah, yeah I was crowned with the right of the spike through my head.
But its everything right now, in actuality, SVO gas!
But its entire right, the it flash of nest jumpin, its is gas! gas! gas!

Flash skipping of nest,
its flash skipping of the nest of gas,
its flash skipping of the nest of gas,
its flash skipping of the nest of gas,
its flash skipping of the nest of the gas."

It ALL, in fact, is gas. In actuality, SVO gas.

Just be grateful YOU were not raised with the right of the lath through your tail end.

The English/Chinese/English version reads like a strange hybrid of Rush and the works of Glenn Danzig...
