This happens with some regularity. Here's the most recent example.

I watched South Park last night, which included a Latin Easter chant with the words "Hippitus Hoppitus." I wanted to find the rest of the text, so I Googled those two words -- the only two I could remember from the music.

Google brought up one example, but helpfully asked if I really meant "Hippitus Hoppus."

Okay, I said, let's see what I get with that.

Nothing.

Zilch.

Why does Google keep offering me these stupid alternatives that lead nowhere? Jesu H. Kriste!

update:

Sanctum Piter oteum, Deus ore uneum.
Hippitus hoppitus reus homine.
In suspiratoreum, lepus in re sanctum.
Hippitus hoppitus Deus Domine.

Thanks to anonymous reader and whoever posted the words. Each time I searched, there were more references to it. Once again, I'm impressed by how helpful folks on the 'net are. I'm confident this transcription is more accurate than one I would have made.

flutterby3527 mentions it in one of her posts.

You should also search Google Groups, thusly.

Another possibility would be to find some online discussion boards devoted to "South Park"; I can't help you there.

And for cryin' out loud, give them time; the first showing of the episode was only last night. I have little doubt that somebody in geekspace will have transcribed the whole thing by Easter.

You miss the point, which is that Google offers these farcical re-spellings of search terms, and they don't even lead to anything!

(And yes, the first one is the one my Google search turned up.)

South Park X seems to have a download for the episode but I'm at work so can't really tell it that is true. Similar downloads at Mr. Twig. I was also very curious about the lyrics, so please post them if you find them. I enjoyed the episode. Of course I enjoyed the last episode about Hillary and the Snuke, which may not say much for my taste but . . . Ah, here's the South Park message board

Still not finding any additional lyrics. I might have to watch my tape over and over to transcribe it. I just wasn't sure I could catch them accurately and hoped somebody else had already done the work. In fact, when I google now, the link I found this afternoon doesn't show up any more. The Conspiracy got 'em!

I guess I've been lucky. Only once, and only recently, has Google suggested an alternate that, when I clicked on it, yielded no results. Though, admittedly, unless I'm unsure about the spelling or I mistyped, I don't often bother with the alternates.

Another thought

This might be as far off as the first one, but I think I'm a little more awake now. I'm thinking of Sandra Boynton's "Grunt", a parody some years ago of the then-popular "Chant" albums. Some of the "Pigorian Chant" was in decent Latin (so far as I could tell, and more importantly Amazon's reviewer says so), though some was in, uh, Pig Latin. I don't recall any "Hippity Hoppity" parts, but could Boynton be writing for South Park now?

Lol.

I'm just a random person who happened to google 'hippitus hoppitus' in hopes of finding the rest of the text and I found this, lol!

Re: Lol.

I've re-googled, and there are more and more references to it. One of these times, it'll be somebody who can reliably transcribe Latin.

The spell-checker has a list of words that Google knows are out on the web somewhere. This list is separate from the list pages containing those words (and is much, much smaller). So it's not surprising that the dictionary would know combinations of words which aren't actually on any page together.

Full verse of Hippitus Hoppitus

Look more closelier...

Sanctum Piter oteum, Deus ore uneum.
Hippitus hoppitus reus homine.
In suspiratoreum, lepus in re sanctum.
Hippitus hoppitus Deus Domine.
