The Lyrics

One of my favorite creatures from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy because this thing is just so damn weird! This is part of 2nz's Hitchhiker's Guide To The Beatles project.
That’s one crazy Babel Fish
Inside of your ear is squished
Turning all those funky words to your language

On your brain waves it will chew
The English diction it will poo
Isn’t that a bit weird and extreme?

Babel Fish: It slithers
Changes Hooloovoo whispers
Babel Fish
God’s gone because you exist

Looks yellow and like a leech
Now you can hear Vogon speech
Babel Fish
Bad poetry’s your fault

Babel Fish
Translating
But your slime, I’m hating!
Felt your crawl
Through my ear canal, it’s driving me mad!!!!

Chat with folks on Betelgeuse
Order tea on Earth Mark 2
Then settle on Ursa Minor to sleep

Babel Fish’s
Distinguished
He’s the universe’s linguist
Babel Fish
If you weren’t so gross you’d be super rich

That’s the insane Babel Fish
Making those dialects switch
Stick him in your ear and you’ll be so happy
Stick him in your ear and you’ll feel so crappy
Stick him in your ear and you’ll speak so snappy

Yay, babel fish. And I'm very happy that you included this OS too. I had it stuck in my head earlier today. Enjoyed the whole thing, but 'The English diction it will poo' and 'distinguished/universes linguist' were awesome.

Good but a little fishy.

The babel fish idea/meme was even funnier before google translate, still it's much funnier than the Star Trek idea of universal (computer) translator, probably mor plausible too! ;-)
