Have you ever considered trying to have a novelty hit by covering The Specials' Do The Dog with all of the lyrics translated into Latin?

I've attemped to give you a headstart in this project by translating part of the chorus, but the results (Operor canis ( non donkey )) lead me to suspect the internet translator is defective. Surely there were donkeys in roman times and surely the Latin word for donkey wasn't "donkey"?

Donkey - Wikipedia, the free en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DonkeyThe donkey or ass, Equus africanus asinus

Yep, donkey = asinus
tu stultior quam asinus est

Could you quickly rattle off the rest of the song too, just in case he wants to go ahead with this idea?

I am terrible at grammar, but my attempt at the chorus:
Facere in canus, facere in canusFacere in canus, nolite asinus facere
― emil.y, Tuesday, 14 August 2012 12:49 (eleven years ago) link
It's a hit!

yeah, the barenboim/boulez recording of the liszt piano concertos, lee gamble's new album, and the new richard pinhas / tatsuya album
i suspect you might like the lee gamble album
― Nothing less than the Spirit of the Age (nakhchivan), Monday, 1 September 2014 15:32 (nine years ago) link
i tried a lee gamble compilation once and it kind of sailed over my head. but i read a good interview with him in the Wire later that made me think I ought to give him another go. I have very similar feelings about Kassem Mosse - just waiting for the right time and place.

I Didn't download albums, but I did get this through the post today (as mentioned on the outernational thread). http://www.soulbrother.com/shop/spiritual-jazz-vol-5-2/
Haven't listened to it yet but it look interesting.

I love Soulbrother records, I think I started a thread on that label.

That comp is quite good. Only given it a cursory listen. Might have been expecting a bigger 'world' influence as it's largely impossible to tell which country each track originates from without reading the sleevenotes.
