Such a video can only be made by some silly freak Of course a real fan would never make something like this.
I don't think there is a way to have it removed. We could all flag it as inappropriate but probably that won't be sustained. Anyway the guy who posted this video doesn't deserve the attention
So I agree with you, the only proper reaction is WTF.

I always wondered about that - why didn't they do a more professional job in writing the English lyrics. It appears they spared no expense with everything else concerning the MCE release. A good lyricist who speaks French and English could have done a much better job.

Yes, that's very true. That's why I recommended a lyricist and not just a translator. I realize to make it work better one may have to alter the meaning here and there. The number of syllables can be fudged a little depending on what the words are. Compare the number of syllables in any song line for line between verses and you'll see they are not always the same. I think some of the English translations they used were just fine, but there are rough spots that maybe could have been smoothed out.

One example is outdated phrases like "boogie-woogie".
