And I have no idea what made them choose some songs over others, because from the titles, it felt like they were all about the same kind of stuff. SONGS One-Wiper Can You Smell Us Now? Diper Överlöde Explader Diper Diper Igniter Potty Mouth Leaky Kamade Down the Drain Monkey House The Runs Raise a Stink Smell Test Stink it Up Toilet Lips Bloated Diper

我完全搞不懂他们为什么选这些歌不选那些，光看歌名的话，感觉内容全都是差不多的东西呀。 歌曲列表：《单雨刷》《你现在能闻到我们吗？》 《烂尿布过载》《爆炸尿布》《尿布尿布点火器》《臭嘴巴》《漏卡玛》《冲下水道》《猴子屋》《拉肚子》《搞臭点》《臭味测试》《使劲臭》《厕所唇》《肿尿布》

Rodrick thought they should have at least one track with swear words in it because that way you get a Parental Warning sticker on your album. And he said if you DON'T have one of those stickers, teenagers won't buy it. But Mackie said he didn't want to have any songs with swear words because he wanted to make an album his mom could enjoy. So Rodrick said if they were making music for Mackie's mom, then they might as well just quit right now.

罗德里克觉得他们至少得有一首带脏话的歌，这样专辑就能贴上“家长指引”的贴纸了。 他还说，要是没这张贴纸，青少年才不会买你的专辑呢。 可是麦基说他不想有带脏话的歌，因为他想做一张能让妈妈也欣赏的专辑。 于是罗德里克说，既然你们是要给麦基妈妈做音乐，那不如现在就散伙算了。

Then things got pretty heated between the two of them, and it took a long time for them to cool down after they were separated. Once that situation was under control, the guys debated which song they should record first. Bill thought it should be "Can You Smell Us Now?" because he likes the line that goes "We're leakin" through your speakers like a chocolate cow." But Drew said that line didn't even make sense because there's no such thing as a chocolate cow. So Bill went after Drew and then THOSE two had to be separated.

接着他俩吵得面红耳赤，被分开之后过了好长时间脾气才平复下来。 这场风波平息之后，大伙又争论该先录哪首歌。 比尔觉得该先录《你现在能闻到我们吗？》，因为他喜欢里面那句歌词：“我们像巧克力奶牛一样，从你的音箱漏出来啦”。 可是德鲁说这句根本说不通，哪里有什么巧克力奶牛呀。 于是比尔又跟德鲁起了冲突，这俩人也只好被分开了。

Rodrick decided the song should be "Diper Överlöde," which was the first one he ever wrote. And I guess the other guys were tired of fighting because they agreed. But it didn't take long for a NEW problem to crop up. While Drew and Bill were arguing about song lyrics, Mackie accidentally dropped his pick into the hole in the middle of an acoustic guitar. So then the guys took turns trying to get the pick back out. And I can't even tell you how much time THAT took. Eventually, Drew managed to shake the pick free, but it went straight down Bill's THROAT.

罗德里克敲定该录《烂尿布过载》，这是他写的第一首歌。 估计其他人也吵累了，就同意了他的决定。 可是没过多久，新的麻烦就冒出来了。 德鲁和比尔吵歌词的时候，麦基不小心把拨片掉进了木吉他的音孔里。 于是大伙轮流上阵，想把拨片弄出来。 我都没法说这前前后后花了多少时间。 最后德鲁总算把拨片摇松了，结果拨片直接掉进比尔的喉咙里了。

And it was kind of scary for a minute there. WHEEZE SPLUTTER Luckily, Mackie knew some sort of maneuver to get the pick dislodged from Bill's throat. All I can say is that I'm glad there was a window between the engineer's booth and the room where the band was. HACK SPLAT

那一瞬间真的挺吓人的。 呼——咳！噗—— 幸好麦基懂某种急救手法，把拨片从比尔喉咙里弄出来了。 我只能说，还好录音师的控制室和乐队待的房间之间隔了一块玻璃。 咳！呸！

Bill was badly shaken up, and he said he wanted some time to recover. But Rodrick said they really needed to get going if they wanted to record a whole album. So everyone picked up their instruments and got in their places, and the engineer hit "record." Rodrick played the drum intro to "Diper Överlöde," and then Mackie and Drew started in with their guitars. But Bill only made it through two or three verses before he had to stop, because apparently that guitar pick really did a number on his throat.

比尔吓得够呛，说他需要点时间缓一缓。 可是罗德里克说，要是想录完一整张专辑，就得赶紧接着往下走。 于是大家拿起乐器各就各位，录音师按下了“录音”键。 罗德里克敲了《烂尿布过载》的鼓点前奏，接着麦基和德鲁就弹起吉他开唱了。 可是比尔才唱了两三段就不得不停下，看来那个拨片真把他喉咙折腾得够呛。
