Hello, Hello!

I listen to Australian Radio a lot. There are plenty of reasons for this, of course, but the most reasonable reason is that that occasionally showcase tunes like Hello (2.6Mb mp3) by Cat Empire (Flash required). The band's website also offers this fun (if poor quality) quicktime video.

I understand just a little
No comprende--it's a riddle


"I SAID, HEY MATE, WOULD YOU LIKE SOME VEGEMITE!?!?"

Somebody had to make the comparison.

An updated version of:

I said do you speaka my language
She just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich

(another great endrhyme...)

My Aussie friend told me, "I'm going to hospital today."

With his accent, it came out "I'm gone to hospital to die."

English is a peculiar language.
