I am a big fan of the webiste Engrish.com - it is hilarious! It features examples of badly translated English, found in Asian countries. Here's a sample:

Elbow in Engrish! Omnivo10

On this site, they also have a "Make Your Own Engrish" page (try it yourself here - http://www.engrish.com/create-your-own-engrish/ ) , where you can enter English words/phrases and have them translated to Japanese, then back to English. Sometimes it comes out a bit funny. So , I entered some Elbow lyrics to see what they'd turn into, and here are the results!

Some of my youth and all of my senses on overdrive
Engrish translation: Overdrive every part of my youth feeling

There's a hole in my neighborhood down which of late I cannot help but fall
Engrish translation: Holes, under the second half, I can not help but be, the relevant Dearimasu Tokoro Kon

Do they know those days are golden? Build a rocket boys!
Engrish translation: They have time, you know gold? Birudoroketto, boy!

And he talks of people ten years gone like I've known them all my life, like scattered black and whites
Engrish translation: And he scattered black and white I have 10 years of consulting the people, so we knew all my life

I'll be the corpse in your bathtub, useless
Engrish translation: I was in your bathtub, you senseless corpse.

He's so mercifully free of the pressures of grace
Engrish translation: He is free of pressure to really appreciate grace

Someone tell me how I feel, it's silly wrong but vivid right
Engrish translation: How can someone I feel it is so bright stupid mistakes

You little sod, I love your eyes, be everything to me tonight
Engrish translation: Are you a little lawn, all of tonight, I love your eyes.

We blew the doors, didn't we? Pissed in their champagne and did a real thing, didn't we?
Engrish translation: We blew the doors did not we? Their champagne drunk, we really did not mean that
