Quendi (Elvish): Oldfield comes out as: "Yáraresta" (ancient sown field). As for Michael, it is derived from the name of an archangel. In the Tolkien world, the closest equivalent is probably the name Manwë, who was the greatest of the angelic beings known as Valar (aside from his foe, the evil fallen one). The total result is Manwë Yáraresta. "Tubular Bells" is perhaps "Veroota Nelli" (Like-Tube Bells). "Incantations" is perhaps "Templalindale" (magical songs). "Amarok" = Naagond (Am a stone). For those who are not "As lanne lhaw Tiuka" (cloth-eared nincompoop! ). Now for Klingon: Oldfield comes out as " 'Ngo yotlh". Kortar, the first Klingon,"....destroyed the gods who created them and turned the heavens into ashes", which might make him roughly equivalent to a combination of both Adam and the archangel Michael (who led victorious war in Heaven). The total result is Kortar Ngo yotlh (the complexities of Klingon grammar and capitalization rules not withstanding)
The most popular song in this culture is likely "yol" (Conflict). The name for "Tubular Bells" likely contains Chetvi' (torpedo tube), considering their martial nature.
Finally, Pakuni. A simple langauge without a huge vocabulary, and without the letter "L". It would appear that Mike's name would be pronounced as "Mikara Orodofirada", based on past Pakuni pronciations of other names outside of their own language ("Will" becomes "Wira", "Sleestak" becomes "Sarisataka", etc). Play those "Tubura Berresa" !
