* Brazilian comedy singer Falcão covered the brega classics "Eu Não Sou Cachorro Não", "Fuscão Preto", and "Meu Cofrinho de Amor", ''[[RuleOfFunny intentionally]]'' translated to blind idiot English. For instance, the correct English translation of the title of "Fuscão Preto" would be "Black Volkswagen", but he deliberately [[TranslateTheLoanwordsToo translated the loan word too]], making it "Black People Car".

* The title of the Music/{{Butaotome}} album まじっく・らんたん was somehow translated as "Magic Lanthanum" instead of "Magic Lantern".

* ''{{Music/Vocaloid}}'': In Music/SasakureUK's song "Hello, Planet," one of the lines is "To the marmalade ground, good morning, good morning!" referring to a bed of thick, orange lava that Miku floats over in her hot-air balloon. However, some versions of the song translate "marmalade" as "mermaid", due to the transliterations of the respective words in Japanese being pretty similar (''māmarēdo'' vs. ''māmeido'').

* The Spanish backing vocals in the latter half of "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by Music/TheClash are a hurried word-for-word translation of the corresponding English lines provided by the Ecuador-born mother of the recording engineer. This is particularly evident with "Should I cool it or should I blow?" translated as "yo me frio o lo soplo", which is more like "I get cold or I blow on it."
