  3. This gave me flashbacks to my childhood, and Dr. Seuss' famous 'Tweedle Beetle Battle' segment of 'Fox in Socks'. I loved that book as a kid, and still do.

  4. My translation on this other copy of the video seems to be popular based on the upvotes that still trickle in periodically.

    -----------------------------------

    In a small village there lived a woman with the name Barbara.

    Barbara was well known for her wonderful rhubarb cake.

    So people called her Rhubarb-Barbara.

    Rhubarb-Barbara quickly realized that she could earn some money with her cake.

    So she opened a bar, the Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar.

    The Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar was successful and soon she had regular customers.

    And the three most well known of her customers, three barbarians, came so often to the Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar to eat Rhubarb-Barbara's rhubarb cake that they became known as the Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarians.

    The Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarians had beautiful beards.

    And if the Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarians wanted to groom their Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarian-Beards they went to a barber.

    And the only barber skilled enough to work on the Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarian-Beards was called the Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarian-Beard-Barber.

    The Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarian-Beard-Barber also enjoyed going to the Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar to eat some of Rhubarb-Barbara's delicious rhubarb cake and enjoy a beer which he proclaimed would be called the Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarian-Beard-Barber-Beer.

    The Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarian-Beard-Barber-Beer could only be purchased at one specific bar.

    And the seller of the Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarian-Beard-Barber-Beer under the sign for the Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarian-Beard-Barber-Beer-Bar is called Barbel.

    And so the Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarians together with the Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarian-Beard-Barber and Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarian-Beard-Barber-Beer-Bar-Barbel went together to the Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar to have piece of Rhubarb-Barbara's delicious rhubarb cake and to raise a glass of ice cold Rhubarb-Barbara-Bar-Barbarian-Beard-Barber-Beer.

    Cheers!
