And don't teach pigs to speak in Dutch.
Now ducks is a whole nother thing. The latest from our friends at Language Log. Warning, it's a bit raunchy so if you're easily offended stay clear, but it might be particularly interesting to you, BranShea. Direct Link

Holy smoke! This kiddies song I've never heard of. Maybe if I saw the Dutch text I would recognize something.
The other link:
Yes, Faldage. It is interesting. But it belongs more to the Mel Brooks false 'schmuck' article thread.
What you see here is a kid's program. Obviously the subject of the day was "dirty words".
I never watch TV before 'children's bedtime', but I know this program exists.It is popular I think.
It is known that most children are attracted by dirty words and that many adults never grow out of it.
Personally I'm not that charmed by those words; I suppose it may have served some educational purpose.
Yes, Etaoin, laughing third party, you 're a big help in this
here precarious predicament.olo!

Bran, they have just taken a perfectly harmless Dutch children's show, and "translated" it into English using phonetic pronunciation. they're not actually singing that text, it just sounds like that, in English.

Thanks for letting me know. Renewed answer: Right, I heard the text: 'Er zit een gat in het dak, ik voel mij niet op mijn gemak.
There is a hole in the roof , I don't feel at ease is the main theme.
As I don't; when see this kind of unfun.
At least this is an unpretentious kid's program that is for once not a hyperactive automatically designed hollow-eyed kid's cartoon.Weird kind of spinnoff, Faldage.I know you did not make it and gave it all for my good information, but I already knew there is a lot of junk in the world.

It's a new sub-genre of the sort of thing epitomized by the classic Mots d’Heures: Gousses, Rames. In Mots d’Heures: Gousses, Rames the source language is English and the target language French. Check out the Lnaguage Log link in my first post for more information.

I did read that, yes: They also differ from mondegreens in that they cross languages, but that difference is recognized in the labels "autour du mondegreens" and "cross-linguistic mondegreens".) We had this mondegreen subject before , how in particular children interprete song texts, words and texts in their own manner. I think we all remember some. I was upset about the example. Not because it is a Dutch thing, but because I protest against kid's stuff beeing durtied for adult laughs. In any cross language or non cross language way. Mondegreens are basically quite funny.
