Cunning Linguists Languages and their use. What languages do you speak and why? What do words really mean? Can you say things in one language that you can't say in another? Should there be a national language? How many languages should a person know and what are they?

Default French Speakers: Identify This Song?

I like it a lot. (http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1800512) Sounds like the tune to Yankee Doodle, but "french yankee doodle" doesn't turn up anything. :p

If you don't know the title, a transcription of the chorus or something else that might help me Google would be appreciated. :) Thanks!

Edit: apparently it's not French Confused I have no idea any more.

Hang your head in shame boy!

That is a cover of Friggin' In The Riggin', by the Sex Pistols.

No idea about the language.

It sounded like a hideous intro to Naruto. Perhaps it's Japanese?

Someone suggested it was Romanian. I'm all confused now. SOMEONE must know what it is! :o

If anyone cares, it's Greek. "Epistrofi sti fysi" by Psofioi Korioi. This awesome dude (http://www.youtube.com/user/nicanas) gets the credit.

Awesome song. :) Jack, I'm pretty sure it's not a cover of Friggin' in the Riggin'... but thanks anyway, because thanks to you I found I like that song too. :D
