Translation Party, Will You Please Translate "My Humps"?


Translation Party is a new mashup that finds the point at which no changes are made between a traslation with English and Chinese in Google Translate. This point is called the "equillibrium". Needless to say, the equillibrium is almost always hillarious.

I thought it would be fun to try the Black Eyed Peas song "My Humps". I couldnt have been more right. This:

What you gon 'do with all that junk? All that junk inside your trunk? I'ma get, get, get, get, you drunk, Get you love drunk off my hump. My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump , my hump, My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely little lumps. Check it out

Turned into this:
All waste in the square? All waste in the trunk? Kawano Megumi Nobu, please use the wine. My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely little lumps. Check it
I have no idea where "Kawano Megumi Nobu" came from. Here's the link to the complete translation.

Update:  Looks like it got a little better over the last few months.  I issued the same query and got this result:

What Gon 'Do all of SPAM? All the junk in your trunk? I love to drink my hump to get really clear. My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely little lumps. Check it out
