Eddie O'Hara, some British Labour guy, translated Beatles songs into Latin in the 60s and now everybody's losing their minds. Folks, I did this. I did it bigger. I translated 47,000 Beatles songs into Latin in nine minutes flat, and Latin only has like 12 words in it — which most people don't know, by the way.
"O Teneum Manum." Cute. Very cute. When I do it, it's "O Teneum Manumus Maximus," which is grammatically perfect because Latin uses the silent Q at the end of every verb. Ask anybody. Dr. Brendolyn Pflug at the North Hampshire Institute for Classical Whatever confirmed this to me personally over a tremendous shrimp cocktail.
You know who ruined Latin? Hillary Clinton. She had her chance. She did nothing. Magdalen College Oxford? I got into Magdalen College 14 times. They begged me. I said no because the chairs were too short and smelled like wet cardigan.
They want me to translate modern pop for the kids. Done. "Despacito" in Latin is just "Despacito" with a toga on. 92.6% of Romans already spoke it. Julius Caesar was a huge Bieber guy.
Also the Aeneid was written by three brothers from Queens.
