	Great idea. Twist and Shout, sung in Latin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruj3vl_6fXw#t=0m28s

	I'll have to find my Latin teacher and ask why he never taught me Carrum. Great Quiz.

	Wow, my brain was straining back to that Latin GCSE I did! Great quiz :D

	There's some errors here. "Hinc Venit Sol" should be "Huc Venit Sol"; "Trans Rerum Naturam" should be "Trans Mundum". A lot of the other ones could be improved a bit; but those two are just incorrect as they stand.

	great quiz. Adjinkin is right however. I missed sergeant peppers lonely heartsclubband in here however. Wondering what that would be

	http://heritage.caledonianmercury.com/2010/08/23/useful-gaelic-word-car/001335 Quote: "Càr meaning vehicle is actually derived from the old Celtic word for chariot, carbad. The Romans then borrowed the Celtic word to give their word for chariot, which in turn gave the English word for car." I read that yesterday - and still managed to miss "Age Meum Carrum" :-(

	Awesome quiz. I have a similar one with other songs, but one of them is by the Beatles and not on this quiz... http://www.sporcle.com/games/MartianBob/song_titles_in_latin

	What's "Obla Di, Obla Da" in Latin? :-P

	ArtRock:	Aug 24th, 2010 at 18:12 GMT		5 points
	Brilliant idea. Can't believe I did not get Drive my car (and a few others, but this one hurt).

	Finally, learning Latin has paid off!

	I really think "Esto" should be changed to "Sit." "Esto" is the singular imperative of the verb "esse", and is best translated as an exhortation: "Be!" "Sit", on the other hand, is the 3rd person singular present subjunctive. When rendered, as it should be, as a hortatory subjunctive, the best possible translation of it is "Let it be." QED.

	Because I just had to know, and I'm assuming others wish to know as well, Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey translates to: Sulum quispiam occulto salvifico mihi quod meus monachus

	Dirtmaier, you're right; I missed that one with my previous comment. "Esto" does have a third-person meaning, but "sit" would be better. In fact, "sit" isn't quite right either; it means 'let it be' in an optative sense ('I wish it were'), while the song is "let it be' more in the sense of 'leave it alone', which would be "patere id esse"—'allow it to be'. VisVirtusque, you're wrong; 'yesterday' is "heri".

	esto means "it will be", future sense. let it be is an imperative, you might want to change that

	boobtoob:	Aug 24th, 2010 at 20:23 GMT		5 points
	@ajdinkin I think you misrepresent the meaning of the song if you render "let it be" as hortatory. It is clearly optative in the sense of 'Amen' - "Let there be an answer, let it be". The whole song alludes to prayer and requires "let it be" to have this meaning. "Sit" would therefore do but I think it's a bit weak. I think something like "Let it come to pass" or even a plural "Let these things occur" would be more suitable, in which case I would have "eveniat" and "fiant", respectively

	Very imaginative quiz! I only got 8, but that's because I mostly guessed. It helped that my native language is Spanish. I really, really don't know much about the Beatles. I mean, I can hum some of the most well-known songs, but fail completely at actually knowing the titles. :P

	ajdinkin:	Aug 24th, 2010 at 20:47 GMT		2 points
	Boobtoob: Hm, interesting. I think in the song 'let it be' can be interpreted in both ways. At the beginning of the song, "in times of trouble... words of wisdom" suggests my interpretation: the words of wisdom in times of trouble are "let it be", i.e., 'don't stress about it; allow it to exist', which is best translated by "patere id esse". But "there will be an answer, let it be" is more amenable to the optative interpretation. I'm not sure which interpretation makes the most sense for this quiz, in that case.

	agree with boobtoob, think it should be the subjunctive
