An Italian Song That Sounds Like English But Is Nonsense
Hah several years back in my country (Bulgaria) there was a woman in our “Music Idol” tv show that tried to perform Mariah Carey’s “Without You”, but didn’t know a word of english [1]. And not knowing english is something bulgarians like to laugh at - she became a country wide sensation, shown in probably every comedy show and even the news, as well as earned herself multiple covers on youtube. At some point there was even a talk show in france that had Mariah as a guest, and they showed her that video hoping for a reaction [2] :-D But I agree with Mariah’s answer - you have to be reaaly brave to go on stage before the whole country and sing by trying to come up with words in a language you don’t understand.<p>Weirdly enough, when researching this I realized that “singing Without You with nonsence english” Is a thing in many different countries. I’d like to think we started it all!<p>[1]<a href="https://youtu.be/yqVVv97pKGk" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/yqVVv97pKGk</a><p>[2]<a href="https://youtu.be/xbcp8wZZyII" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/xbcp8wZZyII</a>
