Video of the Week: 25/3Australian video of the week:"21 Accents"This American woman, Amy Walker, does impressions of a bunch of English accents from all over the world. I am impressed with her Sydney accent at 1:12! Though her "outback" accent at 1:25 is a bit cringe-worthy.
It's a good thing she didn't attempt a Tasmanian accent or she would have had to lose a finger and violate YouTube regulations.
Multicultural video of the week:
"The Romanian National Anthem - Deşteaptă-te, Române! "
Maybe the coolest and angriest national anthem in the world. Adopted very late in 1991, the 80s synths are well present, making the song easily mistakable for a Eurovision entry. The Romanian people is this video vary from seethingly bitter to uber excited to bored witless... all in the same row.
Highlights:
- Look closely at the beginning for the UNHAPPIEST woman ever to be in a red plastic cowboy hat.
- 0:49 - the woman could suck her nose clean.
- 2:59 - the man in the striped suit wins.
How does the Romanian anthem compare to ours? What do you think of Amy Walker?
