As I slowly learn Español while living as an older expat in Panama, I get a "word of the day" from SpanishDict.com. Today's word was "mapache" (raccoon), and I immediately thought of the Beatles song, Rocky Raccoon. However, Mapache Rocoso does not flow from the tongue as easily as Rocky Raccoon.

I thought that it might be fun - since we have many members from around the globe who speak English as a second (or third...) language - to ask if any of you can think of English language songs that translate humorously or poorly - or even end up as vulgar phrases in your primary language.
