I bet you’ve got a pretty clear idea in your head of what you think ‘typical’ sounds of ’French’, ‘Italian’, ‘Dutch’ or other languages sound like, but have you ever wondered what your native language might sound like to non-speakers of it? It’s a weird exercise trying to imagine as I’m not sure it’s possible to divorce the sounds from the meaning to get a clear idea. Well, Adriano Celantano’s 1972 masterpiece of gibberish funk of “what English sounds like to foreigners” is here to help. Enjoy!
Oll Raight! Funk transcends language
Reminds me of my attempts at singing along in wildly approximated Italian (I think in French you can use the phrase “yaorteuse“) - though clearly with a higher funk quotient. And a harmonica!
I would happily curl up on the sofa and watch an entire musical of this, no lie.
Love
