This Is What English Sounds Like To 75% Of The World

This is an Italian video from the (70's???), kind of a goofy song, but meant to say words with an English accent but it's complete gibberish.

According to some, 20-25% of the world understands/speaks some English.

This is what the other 75% hear:

Ugh! Creepy!
If that song gets stuck in my head, I'm gonna put a curse on you. Don't think I can't either!

see, this is what I call drunken kareoki...sounds the same.

sort of english but not really.


At least the lyrics are easy to remember.

That was oddly difficult to listen to. I'm strangely irritated now lol.

That
was
Awesome.

Sexiest man alive.

Well I didn't know what to expect, but for some odd reason I liked it.

That was great.
And much better than all the #e in the charts at the moment.

Oh God. I am at work and I just snorted and laughed really loud. The choking giggles are sure to draw attention! Damn You!

I Give It A Ten.
The Beat Was Good!
( LOL LOL LOL)

I'm not really sure what point this thread is trying to make but the video was somewhat entertaining I guess...

Last time I checked any language someone does not know sounds like gibberish.

Anyway, Benny Lava is way better than the OP's video

I can't put my finger on what is so irritating about that video. It's not the music, it's not the smushy pseudo-language..... weird, and yet strangely it is both irritating and interesting at the same time. Thanks! I think......

That was GREAT! I feel a tad guilty laughing at what is so obviously NOT the real lyrics, but dang, it's funny! Love the hillside dancing too.

Oh boy, is that Adriano Celentano?

Good dancers

We, the English speaking people...think we are SO important.

But this is what MOST of the world hears when we speak to them.

(minus the beats)

Gibberish.

But they can judge our actions...
