Can you name the the Christmas song when it is translated into Japanese, then back into English?

Translation	Song
Is desired everything because of Christmas with me
Being pleasant, old saint Nikolaus
You inquire about those which I hear?
Being cheerful, small Christmas have you yourself
Riding in a car of sled
Boy of small drummer
I the mother looked at that it kisses to Santa Claus
We desire Mary Christmas
The country of wonder of winter
Baby of Santa
O comes faithful all Ye
Mary you knew?
Desired everything is the tooth of my two ago because of Christmas with me
Stone of jingle bell
Listen! You sing the angel of the herald
The grandmother obtained operation with the reindeer
Cool snowman
I think that we want the hippopotamus because of Christmas

	Fun quiz, but for any sequels you should play around with more than one language to get better clues. A lot of these were really too close to the actual name to provide a big challenge.

	Couldn't work out why 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' wasn't accepted, until I realised I'd typed 'Have your elf a merry little christmas'.

	Cool snowman, I mean story, I mean quiz, bro.

	Oh, as if some of these songs exist. Hippopotamus?

	Damn your American spelling of Mummy. No, wait, damn my British brain for not thinking of it.

	We desire Mary Christmas threw me with the other spelling of merry. I'm wondering how it turned happy into a similar-sounding name.

	Yay, it's satisfying to see a quiz I CPd be published :)

	I didn't think to type out "Saint" in Jolly Old Saint Nicholas - can "Jolly Old St. Nicholas" be made an acceptable answer?

	So did 62.8% think it was the OTHER Christmas carol with "hippopotamus" in the title?

	charolastra:	Dec 1st, 2012 at 20:01 GMT		12 points
	I think that we want the hippopotamus because the patriarchal capitalist hegemony WANTS us to want the hippopotamus.

	What a nice reindeer, giving poor old grandma an operation for Christmas.

	Interesting, who knew? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_want_a_hippopotamus_for_christmas

	I've never heard of a hippopotamus Christmas carol. I was thinking something had gotten seriously lost in translation.

	Wren25:	Dec 1st, 2012 at 21:56 GMT		0 points
	There are 3 titles I've never heard of (numbers 12, 16 & 18 in the list) and I got stuck on mama/momma/mummy...

	had to Wiki the "I want a hippopotamus" , figured out why I hadn't heard of it. First popular in 1953 --too early. Then popularized by Dr. Demento. The reprised by the Jonas Brothers- too late.

	A little tougher than I thought it would be, but still, nice quiz!

	I want a Snuffleupagus for Christmas... :)

	I think I did pretty well for a Jew.

	I had problems with the mommy one as well, but it turned out it was because of "santa clause"

	alanna82:	Dec 2nd, 2012 at 21:12 GMT		4 points
	Mary did you know?- no I did not. Never heard of that one. But I have heard of the hippopotamus one. I love that song!

	PsychoPyro813:	Dec 2nd, 2012 at 22:41 GMT		3 points
	I was almost hoping the hippopotamus one would be a bonus answer. Just as happy to see it inlcuded as an actual answer!

	ezois:	Dec 2nd, 2012 at 23:16 GMT		3 points
	There is a song called I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas?

	fastpitchdiva:	Dec 3rd, 2012 at 03:30 GMT		1 point
	I think it should accept O Come All Ye Faithful without requiring the comma. I mean seriously come on.

	ari18:	Dec 3rd, 2012 at 04:03 GMT		4 points
	I can't believe I'd never heard the hippo song! All I've EVER wanted for Christmas was a hippo... now I have a song about it!

	5 globes for including Mary Did You Know, one of my favorites, especially the Kutless version.

	Really surprised some of you haven't heard the hippopotamus one. We only get the displeasure of hearing it about a million times on the radio every December. Annoying song.

	Also never heard of the hippopotamus song. I was thinking that "happy" somehow became "hippo," so I spent 2 minutes trying to think of songs with "happy Christmas" in them (and could only come up with the Lennon/Ono one). Great quiz!

	i've never heard I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas, but i have heard I Want An Alien For Christmas!

	I thought it might have been that Star Wars Christmas Special song about what to give a Wookiee for Christmas.

	newtonsapple82:	Dec 25th, 2012 at 07:20 GMT		1 point
	I've never heard of "Mary Did You Know". I only knew "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" because I heard it on the radio a couple days ago.

	featherfish81:	Feb 8th, 2013 at 17:00 GMT		1 point
	I knew there was a song about a hippopotamus, but couldn't come up with its actual title. Though I only learned of its existence in the last year or so.
