AIBU to ask you what it could possibly mean

I am working with translations of some video subtitles and find this untranslated phrase, marked with red: "А! You go prey senting elves if Frizzy Li’l Bill sing or Bud the Frontal Little Bit"
AIBU to ask you, what that could possibly mean?

What context? What is the video about? What's on screen with the subtitles?

StopWhateverUDoing · 24/07/2016 19:26

People are talking of what they'd rather have other people do, like "I'd make my little brother bring me tea in the morning"

Even Urban Dictionary doesn't know what Frontal Little Bit means Angry
AIBU to be angry on UD then? Hmm

From which language?

Pettywoman · 24/07/2016 19:30

That hasn't helped GrinConfused. It's a toughie that's for sure!

CombineBananaFister · 24/07/2016 19:34

That sounds like Ds when he talks in his sleep, not helpful but there you go Grin sounds like summat to do with mouths/beaks ?

"Haha! You are presenting ones self as if (something) but really you are putting on a front"

I'll try and figure the rest out!

StopWhateverUDoing · 24/07/2016 19:36

The translator had to translate it from English, but apparently, failed.

"you go presenting [your?]selves ..."

Bill sing = "building"

TheSecondOfHerName · 24/07/2016 19:37

Bud the Frontal Little Bit could be 'but the front a little bit'

Prey senting elves could be 'presenting themselves'.

I have no idea about the middle section.

bittapitta · 24/07/2016 19:38

Yes Fruit might have it - Bud = "put" (say it with an accent, puddin' putting)

bedouincheek · 24/07/2016 19:38

А! You go prey senting elves if Frizzy Li’l Bill sing or Bud the Frontal Little Bit

What about...
Here you go presenting Elvis, for he's a little bill singer, but the front a little bit
Yup definitely it.

bittapitta · 24/07/2016 19:39

Hang on OP - don't you know what the song is? We could easily help find the actual lyrics.

Pettywoman · 24/07/2016 19:41

I don't think it's a song, more a talking head/ vox pop interview show type thing.

StopWhateverUDoing · 24/07/2016 19:42

I don't have the video, just this text

Oh wait it's not a song , misunderstanding on my part there Blush

KeepCalmAndRetreat · 24/07/2016 19:43

Could it be "freeze a little bit"? Like Hmm?

FruitCider · 24/07/2016 19:45

Ok so Little Bill is a cartoon character I think Confused

StopWhateverUDoing · 24/07/2016 19:53

Maybe it's this Little Bill then from american show Hmm The videos are american...

Frizzy lil bill = reasonable?

BorpBorpBorp · 26/07/2016 09:13

Could 'prey saint elves' be 'pray something else'?
