Via the always interesting Found in Translation, a rundown of seven versions of a song recorded by popstress Avril Lavigne: Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese.

At least, the chorus is localized, and the verse is in English. It’s just a marketing trick I suppose, but then… pop music is kind of a marketing trick too, heh.

PS. The Spanish is pretty convincing, the Portuguese version is… um… clunky.

But a Brazilian on Youtube said it better:

lol
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
huahsauhsuahsuahsuahsuahusahushaushauhsauhsauah

That would be some Brazilian AOLspeak, if you were wondering. ☺
