Native German Speakers - Help

I'm doing a translation of "So Much Better" into German (just for fun, it's never leaving my computer, I might sing it a few times for my own personal enjoyment), and I wanted to know

1) If what I have is okay so far and
2) If you can help me out with one line

Oh, I skipped the intro
Ist das mein Name auf dieser Liste?
Hat jemand weiß, dass ich hier bin?
Ist das ein Fehler?
Bin ich wirklich wach?
Kneif mich sicher zu sein,
Ja, das ist mein Name in Schwarz und Weiß
Vielleicht bin ich etwas richtig machen

and I need something for the line where she says
"Maybe, I'm doing something right"

I've tried to think of a lot, but they're all of by about 3 or 4 syllables. And, I do speak German very well, but help from a native speaker can never hurt.

It's not even a production. I said IT IS JUST FOR FUN! Sometimes, I translate songs into other languages and then I keep the translated lyrics on my computer and sing them for fun, and I impress myself. IT IS NOT A PRODUCTION, and I know that there are many German BWWW'ers, and they are just not responding. DEUTSCHE, BITTE HILF MIR!

I'm partially German so I'll respond.

I think this is what it would translate into:

Vunderbar! Eins, zwei, drei...
Guten Tag hop hop
Guten Tag clop clop
Ach du lieber
Und oh boy!
Guten Tag clap clap
Guten Tag slap slap
Ach du lieber
Vat a joy!
Oh, ve essen und fressen
Und tanze und trinken
Tanzen und trinken
Until ve get stinkin!

Exactly! and why do we need to put up with his useless threads? Obviously the moderators are showing favoritism again! like with averagejoe.

When I was a little boy, my grandfather would say to me "Say Ich bin ein liebes madchen" so when I would say it he would then laugh at me.

"Addiction me at night sky where the day defeated. As someone said recently live hot to learn how to fly."


You have a real touch at translating, mtf3!
