What English Sounds Like To Non-English Speakers

:yes:

Also, it’s only 98% gibberish, he gets the OLL RAIGHT right! :tongue:

Yes of course, it makes so much sense now! :neutral:

It has its own (English) wiki page.

:love:

it sounds more like german than english to me i am not seeing that it seems english

the music video part of it is brilliant. i love the black & white and the mirrors.

Wow, that’s cool. :happy:

I agree, where’s the creativity and originality in today’s music industry?! In the past, singers/musicians were one of a kind. Now, anybody can be made into a fabricated star, that is to be worshipped by the masses (Lady Gaga).

OLL RAIGHT![/center]

i kinda like Lady Gaga actually. she’s pretty original and different, and from what i’ve read about her in interviews she’s not the kind of pop star you would ever see in rehab.

What’s original about her?

most everything. i don’t know of anybody like her. some of what she does might have been inspired by glam rock, David Bowie, Madonna, Queen etc., but she’s still original as she does it differently.

So, she’s original, in the same way that everybody is original.

I just don’t like the way she sprung up seemingly out of thin air. And emediatly had a billion hits on youtube, when as far as I’m concerned, she has nothing new to bring to the table.

I remember hearing one of her “songs”, and thinking to myself “What the f#%$ is this?!”, and it’s so popular! David Bowie did it in the 70’s!

Music has become stagnant. RIP Popular music.

oh please.

So long as Colin Meloy is still performing, music isn’t dead. In my opinion at least.

the thing i like about her is that unlike so many pop stars, she has actual musical talent and ability. and even David Bowie had inspirations and borrowed from other things. she may not bring anything “new”, but she’s a good performance artist and singer.

also her songs are catchy as all get out.

Sorry, if she doesn’t have anything “new to bring” as you put it, she is not original. And that is not only my opinion, but by definition she does not meet the requirements to be labeled as an original anything.

She’s a fabricated star. For the hype surrounding her, and also her unparalleled popularity in contrast to her limited and uninspiring musical abilities, she is undeservant.

Catchy tunes? Ehn, not really. Nothing personal. If you’re curious as to my taste in music, here’s one of my favorite songs. Hope you enjoy.

I’m definetly hearing random words that sound like real english…its annoying me!

You can call me the sailor! Prisencolinensinainciusol… All right!

Thats the english i can hear…its not meant to be though…AHH SO CONFUSED!..but its really catchy

That’s so… strange.

I mean, not as strange as revolution 9, but pretty strange.

YES!
i mean, i personally don´t listen to pink floyd that much, but i like it, i regard it as good music. as i consider many rock groups that were formed in the late 60´s and early 70´s really good.
i´m afraid i have to agree (at least when we are talking about popular music in the western culture) - RIP popular music.

excuse me? she is an extremely talented musician. if all you’ve heard of her is her dance music, like Poker Face or Just Dance, you need to listen to some of her acoustic stuff. her playing Poker Face or Paparazzi with just her voice and a piano is great. she’s as good a piano player as Elton John (in fact they did a duet at a music award ceremony).

and note i put “new” in quotation marks. there’s really nothing new under the sun. David Bowie didn’t bring anything “new” to the table either. all he did was bring the avant-garde to music, and people were doing that already in various forms, and he wasn’t the only one doing it. he just did it differently. i could argue he was just as much of a fabricated star as Lady Gaga.

What a catchy song. Gibberish is among my favorite languages. :happy:

Whoa. That gibberish sounded exactly like English. :eek: I felt as if I could almost catch what they were saying, even though it was gibberish.

!

Let’s freeze that goat!

I found an uncanny “translation” here.

I listened to that song without subtitles and gee, I couldn’t make sense of it. But these subtitles…match it nearly perfectly. I can’t believe it. No wonder it sounds like English…deep down it is English! :tongue: Very entertaining.

OLL RAIGHT!
