Please Say It Ain't So...
Apparently there is a Finnish Professor who loves to sing Elvis' songs in Latin Translation: [url:39lqcvlf]http://www.drammondt.com/english/index.php[/url]
He says: "Someone asked me 'Why Elvis and why Latin?' I cannot give a short answer. I always liked Elvis music and I like to sing in Latin. It has a very similar pronunciation as the Finnish language. Poetically rhythmical, somewhat rough, clear in pronunciation and distinct."

OMG.
The "rocking in latin" album cover is going to give me nightmares. I hope that's a photoshop too.

A little off-topic, but this is the Off-topic Forum...
When my wife was in high school, she had to translate a modern song of her choice into Latin for her Latin II class. She chose "Epic" by Faith No More. When she got to, "Feels so good, it's like walking on glass," she busted her little hiney trying to find a word for "glass".
she ended up translating it as, "Feels so good, it's like walking on broken shards of pottery."
