- BrandoElFollito 5y agoFor a non-native speaker of English - this sounds like lots of songs. Tangentially related - this is how I discovered Nightwish some 15 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg5_mlQOsUQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg5_mlQOsUQ
- speedcoder 5y agoNobody could make up words like Frankie Smith (may he RIP 2019) in the middle of Double Dutch Bus https://youtu.be/fK9hK82r-AM https://youtu.be/fK9hK82r-AM
- genewitch 5y agoThe sound engineer on the loveline show had Dr Drew Pinsky trying to sing this song as an evergreen.
- mPReDiToR 5y agoThank you. I know this comment doesn't add anything of value to the discussion per se, but that's given me the biggest laugh I've had in months. Nightwish came into my life in the 00s, and I couldn't tell you one song meaning, yet I love the sound. This is just a perfect video, thank you for sharing.
- BrandoElFollito 5y agoUnfortunately, despite now knowing the words, the song will never sound right anymore :) Great band, though.
- LordDragonfang 5y agoHere's another similar one, but acted prose instead of a song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt4Dfa4fOEY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt4Dfa4fOEY
- Joeboy 5y agoThis isn't nonsense in the same way, but it has a similar appeal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8yEH8TZUsk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8yEH8TZUsk
- avgcorrection 5y agoMy brain isn’t melted. This could just be some obscure Dutch dialect for all I know.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoI'm sure some people don't hear it, like "the dress", but for some of us it sounds like an Uncanny Valley of English: close but not quite, just enough for our brains to trip over / struggle to comprehend b/c it is so close.
- avgcorrection 5y agoI wonder how much those exposure those creeped-out people have had to other Germanic languages.
- formerly_proven 5y agoThis is what a parse error feels like.
- dustintrex 5y agoModern version: https://youtu.be/ybcvlxivscw https://youtu.be/ybcvlxivscw "English" starts at around 0:48, but the others are also worth a listen!
