The little songs we had to listen to in German class seemed so silly at the time, but I can still recall a few of them all the way back to seventh grade. One was Dracula Rock—but no YouTube in the stone age—that had a line even our teacher couldn't translate:

Verflixt noch mal, da rührt sich was!

I understand this is somewhat dated usage and a colloquialism. How would a native English speaker express this thought?

    "Verflixt" is to "verflucht" as "darn" is to "damn".

"Verflixt noch mal" translated to English is something like "damn it". "Da rührt sich was" can be translated as "there's something moving".
