This hilarious and engaging music quiz challenges students to identify popular songs from lyrics that have been “lost in translation”. Each set of lyrics has been translated from English into five different languages and then translated back into English, creating funny and often bizarre results. Pupils must work out the original song title and artist from the altered lyrics.

What’s included:

A ready-to-use PowerPoint quiz
10 translated lyric challenges based on popular songs
Students must guess both the original song title and artist
Original lyrics embedded in the PowerPoint notes section for easy reference
YouTube clips embedded into the answer slides so students can compare the translated version with the real song
A tiebreaker question included at the end
Answers provided, with the tiebreaker answer in the notes section

How to use:

Perfect for form time, tutor time, music lessons, or end-of-term activities
Great as a team competition or whole-class challenge
Ideal for generating laughter, discussion, and student engagement
