I absolutely love the new Discovery Channel adverts. They accompany the new tagline “The World is Just Awesome”.
It’s a great tagline. They are superb ads.
And I really do love the world. I need to escape my desk!
There are two versions of the adverts: here and here. Read more about them on Wikipedia here.
In 1970 the Italian singer Adriano Celentano composed the song Prisencolinensinainciusol.
What makes the song interesting is that it is gibberish, but specifically designed to sound like American English.
To an English speaker that’s very interesting because it provides an idea of what English sounds like to foreigners.
Listen to the song (it’s actually quite a fun song anyway). It does indeed sound like English – as if I should be understanding it.
