Can somone provide an English to German translation, please?

I've run this through Babel Fish, but the results seem "funny", but my Son's German is not good enough to correct it (and I don't speak it at all). The phrase (for a gag gift) is "Nothing like being the Prom Queen of the pig sty."

I'm looking for a human translation, not a machine translation. Thanks.

Update:

Like I said, I'd tried babelfish and a few other machine translators, but since this is somewhat idiomatic, I'm not sure of the result.

Update 2:

Chipkönigin? That means "chip queen" -- so the machine translator you used decided PROM meant Programmable Read Only Memory which is a chip. Thus my comment about idomatic. Thanks anyway.

    Okay, here are the problems--German high schools don't have proms! (and I'm not sure about how to say pig sty, but this will at least be better than the weird on-line translations
