Humerous Translation

Post by Administrator » Thu Sep 11, 2008 7:41 pm

This is a funny translation I came across...obviously it was just run through some software and posted as-is. My favorites are “Blasphemous and Sentimental” and “land of the uncut”!!


Though Matt Monro is known topper to world audiences as the voice of unrivaled of the best James Bond themes, "From Russia with Love," the British vocaliser produced a lifetime of not bad mould. Often criticized as a second-rate Sinatra personation because of his abstemious, expressive expressive style of swing out, Monro hit the British Top Ten often during the 1960s but managed only deuce moderate hits in America.


Innate Terrence Parsons in London, he began his life history tattle for tV commercials and performed with a few British bands (including Cyril Stapleton's Orchestra) during the early '50s. After a few sides recorded for diverse labels, he gestural to Decca for an album of standards, 1957's Blasphemous and Sentimental. His career actually took turned one year after when producer George Martin asked him to lend his deep voice to a Peter Sellers album of Sinatra satires, Songs for Swingin' Sellers. Monro's straight-faced contribution, "You Keep Me Swingin'," gained him a shrink from Parlophone, and he murder number iII in the British charts with 1960's "Portrayal of My Love."


Both "My Kind of Girl" and "Lightly, As I Leave You" besides hit the Top Ten during the subsequent deuce years; the one-time became his kickoff transatlantic hit, reaching identification number 18 in America. Monro besides proved quite proficient in the maturation land of the uncut; his 1962 LP for Parlophone, Flatness Monro Sings Hoagy Carmichael, was a very effected songbook compendium for a pop vocalizer. Though his theme to the irregular James Bond vehicle, From Russia with Love, only hit the Top 20 in Britain, it increased his exposure around the world. His adjacent undivided, "Walk Away," murder number iV in Britain and barely lost the Top 20 in America.


Monro gained his last British Top Ten in 1965, subsequently his association with George Martin and Parlophone gave him the distinction of organism the first creative person of thousands to cover the Beatles' "Yesterday." After moving to America that year, his British chart fortunes declined (omit for the tame 1973 dispatch "And You Smiled"). He continued acting his nightclub act, and recorded slenderly during the '70s. The 1980 solicitation Heartbreakers rejuvenated his career somewhat, though his health suffered during the time. He ultimately died of cancer in 1985.

There are some very "strange "translations in there--2 that caught my eye were "Lightly, as I leave you" and "Flatness Monro"--although elsewhere they refer to him as Matt. I suppose it could have been worse--"Emulsion Monro" for example !!!!!!
