This is bizarre. So, you know how sometimes we as English speakers make up gibberish sounds to sound like, say, Chinese or Spanish? Here's an Italian singer giving his interpretation of what English sounds like. http://www.buzzfeed.com/...ke-to-foreigners-anj All Right!

I don't know about the Engrish, but he sure nailed it with that dance. That's pretty much spot on with how I walk around daily.

Quite good i would say. Probably wont work on native speakers, but i as a german would say he is quite succesfull. I am not 100% percent shure about italy, but at least here, most of pop music you hear in the radio is in english, so even people who dont speak it, its a familiar tone, that gets met quite good i would say. For those who understand english it would also work, because its just pop music. And you are not supposed to listen to the texts anyways, so you dont concentrate on "translating" it, and so it sounds just like everything else. If that song was in the radio, i would not have noticed it, that it makes no sense. Seriously, how can you live as a native english speaker? You understand all the crap that britney at al. are singing qwert

caught this video on the sidebar. At first my reaction was wow, this is going to be hot, but then I ended being WAY more impressed with what she did than how she looked doing it.
