	This song totally rips off "Michelle" by the Beatles. Probably not unpurpose though.

No Picture Ben Wanna Be	#2 by Ben Shaw at Sep 29, 2007 at 6:15 AM EST
	I think the first line is portugese, which means hey pretty. I like the song because for those of you who haven't met a girl or guy outside of the united states, its hard to communicate and that happens. But its fun.

	The first two lines are Italian, basically asking "Hey beautiful, what's up?" The next lines are Spanish basically saying the same thing. The next language is French and he says he doesn't speak it so she'll have to say it a different way. If you ask me, he's talking about kissing. He's saying that I don't understand what you're saying, so just kiss me, because I can understand that. Kissing: The universal language.

No Picture Oskar Average	#4 by Oskar at Oct 3, 2007 at 6:22 PM EST
	This song is so awesome. I love how unique it is and i love the european sounding chords Jack uses. This is probably the coolest 1:32 song i know.

No Picture Jon Wanna Be	#5 by Jon Leff at Oct 4, 2007 at 7:57 AM EST
	This is from an interview with Jack: "Another joke. My wife speaks a little bit of French. We went traveling around Europe together years ago. It's probably the oldest song I have. I kind of learned these bossa nova chords. And I was joking with her, basically saying, 'Hey beautiful' in a lot of different languages and then said, 'Je ne comprend pas francais' — which is 'I don't understand [French]' in French — 'so you'll have to speak to me some other way.' I toyed around with that in the studio and ended up liking it and put it on the record." I love this song, it's so simple and kind of funny.

	this song is funny. i mean its cute but its funny to hear jack sing in other languages...

No Picture Chuck Average	#7 by Chuck Webber at Oct 6, 2007 at 1:25 AM EST
	lol i jus bought the cd yesterday, and this song caught my eye (the tital) so i went to look at the lyrics...haha love it. hey beautiful....i cant speek french, so talk to me in a different language please?

No Picture 5 Average	#8 by 5 at Oct 6, 2007 at 1:56 AM EST
	I had no idea what the words meant. All i knew is that it made me think of this girl I have a huge crush on. Now that I know it means, "hey beautiful" it all makes since because she is the most beautiful girl ever! She actually introduced me to Jack's music - It's crazy how his music just grabs you and takes you into another world. I want this song to be playing when I kiss her for the first time. Well, She is taken at the moment so everybody wish me luck -- maybe i will have my chance to kiss her someday??

No Picture Phil Average	#9 by Phil Chavez at Oct 6, 2007 at 3:41 AM EST
	when I heard the song, I pictured an american backpacking through Europe with a guitar and along the way he met a girl, possibly in France. He doesn't know how to speak French but picked up a few phrases wherever he visited. He didn't know what to say so he just kept saying, you're beautiful in as many languages as he could and kinda trying to goof off. That's just my imagination running wild. 1 2 Next

No Picture Travis Average	#10 by Travis Nichols at Oct 6, 2007 at 10:19 PM EST
	This is one of the most amazing songs ever. it caught my eye the first time i read the title, because its my middle name, and when you translate it its so adorable. theres nothing really to explain. exept who would be so smart as to mix several diffrent languages into one song as jack would be?

No Picture Nileppezdel Lead Player	#11 by Nileppezdel at Oct 6, 2007 at 11:19 PM EST
	So he is trying to pick up this girl but he doesn't know what language she speaks? And so he tries it in three different languages? JJ's voice is so soothing I'd listen to him even if I can't understand what he's singing.
