If you’ve ever wondered what mock English sounds like, give this a listen. Seriously, it’s like a musical Lorem Ipsum. I think I can recognize the words “Tuesday,” “Maybe,” “Ice,” and “Oh, Sunday!” but that’s probably just pattern recognition.

That’s awesome! In the English speaking world we are often treated to people speaking mock-whatever language. It is great to hear an English version.
This is one of those “offensive” English ones.
I’m probably going to borrow it.
It’s exactly this kind of thing that makes me absolutely *love* your blog, Erik. I don’t know where you find stuff like this, but it is an absolute treat!!! That was the most paradoxical thing I’ve ever witnessed! At once, super cool and utterly cheesy. But a good example of my theory on dancing… one must throw oneself into it whole-heartedly in order to avoid looking like a complete idiot. Anything less that full-bodied enthusiasm just makes you look silly. This avoided silly/awkward and was simply cheesy, but really only because of its 70s sensibility (platform shoes are hawt!). And the mock-English made me laugh so hard my stomach muscles cramped up.
