This is hilarious. An Italian parody of a 60s/70s pop song sung entirely in gibberish that is apparently how American English sounds like to non-English speakers. If I were really cruel I’d give this to my students and have them try to work out the lyrics.
You can see the subtitled version below the links, but watch this one first.

Funny! Giving that to your students would be the height of cruelty. Mine would have heart attacks.

This is absolutely hilarious!! They have the chewing gum accent down, even if they are not saying anything intelligible.

pretty damned funny…except I really like the music. Funky and energetic.
When I lived in Korea, I was amused to discover that the Koreans made fun of the sounds of Chinese, Japanese, and yes, English. We all do it…one of those great unifying activities. But this video rocks (even with the creepy teacher).

I love the music! And the moves. It’s a very fun video.
I was also thinking about how hard it must be to memorize a nonsense song, even if you know the language. Imagine doing it phonetically!
