English to Italians

For those of you who, like me, have ever tortured yourselves wondering what English sounds like to non-native speakers, here is a song by an Italian guy who decided to sing in nonsense syllables that sounded like English to him. It has been going through my head non-stop for about three days.

  1. the guy is great, the chorus sounds too italian though, and the woman sounds like a Russian. to be honest, I don't understand 1/3 of the songs out in English today anyhow.

  2. Interesting! Nobody can equal the late Danny Kaye for gibberish songs, though. But this is definitely different, and thanks for sharing.
