From several people, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
colorwheel being the most recent:
1. Take the lyrics to a favorite song (make sure it's relatively well-known).
2. Go to Google Language Tools and translate the lyrics into German; then from German to French; and finally from French back into English.
3. Post the results verbatim.
4. Invite your friends to guess the song based on the newly mangled lyrics. [Comments are screened for a little while to avoid spoiling the puzzle.]
[5. Bonus question: what do these songs all have in common? Edit: Oops, I screwed up on the fact-checking. Only three have something in common, while the other one only comes close.]

B. I Saw Her Standing There.
C. ??
D. Incense and Peppermints
At first I thought you were going for a Lennon/McCartney theme, but maybe it's more general, like 1960s songs.

4) "Incense and Peppermints"
From:
no subject
Joan Jett, "I Love Rock 'n' Roll"
EMF, "Unbelievable"
Strawberry Alarm Clock, "Incense and Peppermints".
All were Billboard #1 singles except Please Please Me, which went to #3 according to wikipedia. Please Please Me might or might not have been a British #1 but the charts are unreliable.
"Unbelievable" is from Schubert Dip, which always makes me think of the Rutles' "Blue Suede Schubert" (a parody of "Roll Over Beethoven") but beyond that I don't see any connections.

They're not my four favorite songs of all time, but they're among my favorite #1 hits.
