Prisencolinensinainciusol - how English might sound to non-English speakers - General

I love how amazingly catchy t is

I approve that this songs speaks out the truth. Although, it seems that even english-speaking people like most songs due to its flow and not content - thus, I prefer music with little to no lyrics.

Cool but whats with the guys watermark on the video. It's not like he made it.

[QUOTE=Warsheep;18006648][img]http://i34.tinypic.com/30u3ghz.jpg[/img] Was it just me who thought that he looked like the medic? more on topic, that's just awesome. Though, when the one girl in the classroom stood up and talked, to me it sounded like they had suddenly changed into German or something.[/QUOTE] Reminds me of my latin teacher....

Here's a different version of the video with him talking at the beginning. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU4w12oDjn8[/media] According to the comments he's saying about how we don't communicate effectively anymore, so this song is supposed to be a way of expressing "universal love" or something, so I don't know if he meant it to be faux-english. Although non-english speakers say it does sound like that.

It's so damn catchy.

The version where he sings has to many gif worthy parts... [editline]03:35AM[/editline] 2:12-2:16 2:07-2:10 Both need to be gifed.

AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHH!!!!! Holy SHIT!

[QUOTE=Kondor;18000360]Wrong. Before I learned German, everything sounded slurry and fluid. Now everything sounds sharp, rough and easy to make out certain patterns. I don't know a word of French and French sounds like a lazy mess to me. [editline]02:17AM[/editline] The point of the song is that it actually does sound like it's meant to be English, it's like when you listen to the radio and you can't make out a single word out to a song that you like but you can easily tell that it is English.[/QUOTE] German's a lot like English, just saying

I know a guy called Frank who actually talks like this.

[QUOTE=SgtTupelo;18004681]This is pretty much exactly how I heard english when listening to radio when I was a kid.[/QUOTE] Yes, very much this.

Sounds like "Freezing Cold and Asinine Shoes Off" to me :v:

[QUOTE=Mister Royzo;18183244]I know a guy called Frank who actually talks like this.[/QUOTE] What is his condition?

the song's title is very fun to say once you get the pronunciation down pree-zen-cole-in-ensign-ayn-q-sol OLL RAIGHT

There is something so awesome about that guy. [QUOTE=ScoutKing;18178091]The version where he sings has to many gif worthy parts... [editline]03:35AM[/editline] 2:12-2:16 2:07-2:10 Both need to be gifed.[/QUOTE] umm 3:21 to 3:24!

[QUOTE=Ryzo;18130287]Kind of reminds me of Scatman, if you're a foreigner before you learned English did you hear Scatman, if I was a foreigner and didn't know a lot of English then heard Scatman my brain would probably melt.[/QUOTE] No not really, it just sounds like..you know, the same crap as in OP's video. I am as amazed as most people are about this, but just wanted to say it's kinda cool even from the perspective of a non native english person because it really does sound like that.

Sounds like a bunch of.... I don't know. [editline]05:14PM[/editline] Sounds... Nasal, which is what I hear most foreigners describe English as sounding.
