"reggae hippie" version was total crap.

besides, it's not a language... and the singers tried to read the french lyrics phonetically, or so it sounds.

the others were adorable.

The chinese version they have posted on there isn't quite frere jacques.

it translates to something like:

two tigers, two tigers
running fast, running fast
one has no eyes, one has no nose
how weird, how weird

Oh I guess they figured that out with the translation in French they have below that.

It's still weird.
