may I please speak to Phuc Q
There is a set of audio files on the web ( I have a copy) of unsuspecting airport information desk attendants at Heathrow and Gatwick making some carefully prepared calls for passengers.
The names are below (I leave the translations to you) - the perpetrators were banned from the airport as there were lots of complaints.
Arheddis Varkenjaab and Aywellbe Fayed
Arjevbin Fayed and Bybeiev Rhibodie
Aynayda Pizaqvick and Malexa Krost
Awul Dasfilshabeda and Nowaynayda Zheet
Makollig Jezvahted and Levdaroum DeBahzted
Steelaygot Maowenbach and Tuka Piziniztee

Hi squid:
My sheet music copy of "Java jive" has the following note:
When Milton Drake was writing lyrics for a movie that starred Mae West and W C Fields [My little Chickadee, 1940], the latter would often offer the former a drink, which she'd decline with "I love coffee, I love tea". Later, at a party, Miss West asked Drake and composer Ben Oakland to write a song starting with her phrase. In an hour they completed "Java jive", then sent a copy to Fields, who immediately substituted his own lyrics, "I love whiskey, I love gin. I'm pretty healthy for the state I'm in." But it was the West-inspired version that became a hit in 1940 for The Ink Spots and almost four decades later for the singing group Manhattan Transfer.
… and just over six decades later for ???

what a wicked boy he isOoh - hit me again! I'm sure Helen is smack on the nose with her remarks - most of these popular songs tended to draw on the values common to all uman beans through the ages. It's why so much language from the jazz age has retained its currency, like cool, and jazz itself.

an upper west side (Manhattan) had a new chinese place open a few year ago-- a typo had the restaurant name as "HUMAN (not HUNAN) TASTE".. It turn out to be a great success- it got a lot of free publicity from the interesting name.
Odd human name i know included one Judy Flynn, who made a mistake and married Bill Studey-- and she became Judy Studey.
