What english sounds like to foreigners

I used to wonder what English sounded like to those who don't speak it.

I searched on Google and asked questions to satisfy my curiosity.

A while back, I came upon a video called Prisencolinensinainciusol. The song was written by an Italian Composer by the name Adriano Celentano.

I'm guessing he wanted to write a song in English, but just didn't have enough knowledge of the language to do so. So he came up with this weird song, that's complete gibberish. Apparently, it used to be quite popular.

If the video doesn't work, here's the link to the video.

Also, lmao.

 

What language is that? Or is it some kind of English-german-hybrid-thing? Haha

 

It's complete gibberish but it's supposed to sound like english lol.

 

Wow, some next-level language! Is that English he is trying to sing in?

 

Haha. that's hilarious. thumbs up for finding this.

 

English is my second language, so I see how this guy thought he was singing in english. If I only think about how english sounds, yes, it looks like english.

That's sounds so weird. If you're still interested in what English sounds like to other people, search for "Ken Lee" on youtube.

 

The only english word I heard was "alright".
Some of it sounds kind of German to.

 

How bizzare. It sounded English, but yet the words were not.

Haha! Awesome find!

 

I wonder why he's dressed like a hobo, though. lol ^^

 

That sounded very funny.

 

I heard "LeetNeo" at 3:09 to 3:10.

-LeetNeo.

 

Its funny, but like, someone has to know what he's saying right?

 

That's weird.

 

Haha wow..that's pretty interesting/strange. Thanks for posting this .

 

i was loling to that vid, i think it might have been easier for the guy just to learn English lol

 

^

Thats pretty amazing, its always been a question of mine lol.

 

It doesn't sound that weird, pop singers from the 70's and all that; all sang like that.

I don't remember pop singers speaking complete gibberish. This is not any language btw.
