It's a joke because my friends & I learned this dance for another friend's birthday. So everytime we go dancing, we request this song. YouTube - Turk does Poison (Scrubs) I need to think of some more lines that would make my friends & family laugh. Or maybe some wedding related ones.

i would say "puedes tocar la cancion 'veneno' de bel biv devoe?"

Thanks! I've always heard free translations isn't great.

OK I thought of a couple more to add. My FI & I both went to Texas A&M & a lot of our guest did too. Does someone mind translating these:

 

Gig 'em aggies

 

and Whoop!

 

Gig could be translated as Spear. It's what you call fishing with a spear, like floundering.

 

Whoop can be translated as any exclamation that would be like yay or yipee.

 

Aggie can just be left as aggie. But, the spanish word for "farmer" could also work. It's short for agricultural.

 

So basically translate Spear Them, Farmers. I feel like I needed to translate aggie speak before it could be put into spanish

 

These don't really need to be the most accurate. Funnier is better.

ok, you might need a native speaker to tackle these... but my first instinct is

spear em aggies = atrevesa, granjero!
whoop = yupi!

ok I have a few more silly ones. Thanks so much for helping me make my translation list fun.

Tapirs are an animal. It doesn't need to be translated.

 

Indigenous = Native
