Google Beatbox: Fun With Google Translate!

Ok, so I found this one my Facebook page and thought it would make an awesome game.

A friend of a friend basically put some "random" syllables into Google translate and was able to make it sound like it was beatboxing! This was his beat. Click listen to hear it:

http://translate.google.com/#de%7Cde...0kkkkkk%20bsch

I decided to make my own too:

http://translate.google.com/#de|de|p...kkpvkkk%20bsch

So I challenge OT to make up their own beats and post them and comment on they're favs from other posters. Try making up your own syllables to see what kind of effects you can get!

REMEMBER TO CLICK "TRANSLATE" OR ELSE IT WON'T GENERATE THE LINK TO YOUR BEAT! ALSO, AS FAR AS I KNOW, GERMAN-TO-GERMAN IS THE ONLY SETTING THAT WILL MAKE THE BEATBOXING SOUNDS.

ProTip #1: If there's a strange gap there might be an extra space between syllables. Sometimes deleting certain spaces altogether makes them flow better.

It seems to be dependent on the "original" language selected, and only German seems to work.

I guess at some point someone translated something that was spelt wrong or whatever, and it came up with a syllable that sounded like beat boxing. And then they though, "wow, that was cool.. I wonder..."

Or so the legend goes.
