Now I Know What It Sounds Like To My Cousins When I Talk To My Wife


Well, maybe not exactly what they think we sound like, but the singer is intentionally trying to sound like an English speaker, I think an American, without actually using any real English. Over at LGM, a commenter correctly identified the artist as Adriano Celentano, who is a huge Elvis fan, and you can kind of hear the influence in the song.  I think it's damn catchy.

    When John Lennon spoke he had a Liverpudlian accent. But when he sang he sang like Elvis.
