My bestfriend has some CD's she bought in Beijing with Chinese artists singing Chinese versions of english songs. Some of them are the funniest things I've ever heard - they have video clips with them which are the best part...
It's also interesting to see the difference in lyrics between the cultures...the chinese seem sing about hell of a lot purer things than what we're used to (one song in particular was about holding hands with a girl and then going home sad cause this guy had lost her in the crowd).
Please note that I am not meaning to offend anyone that may happen to be chinese, its just that I found the contrast to my own Australian culture rather uh, striking

That's funny. In Britain it is Scandinavian porn movies which 'come' in for the 'stick'. There are even TV advertisements which use porn movie scenarios in a humorous way. In one add the 'plumber' arives at the door and is invited in by the house-wife but the whole thing is dull and 'limp'. They drink a brand of beer and in take two the whole thing is much raunchier...
well, you have to be there i suppose. But it's very funny.
In fairness it's usualy the Swedes who are thought of here as the porn kings, though Scandinavian of course includes Norway.

Holding the hands of the Chinese
Charlie - I just have to tell you this story.
Many years ago I went with my girlfriend to the Harrods sale. Harrods is a very big, very chi-chi department store, famous for its sales and the store was wall to wall packed with people.
We get in a very crowded lift and I grab my g/f's hand so I don't lose her in the crowd in the lift. Four floors up, door opens, I'm still holding her hand so am somewhat surprised to see her get out twenty people ahead of me. As soon as we're clear of the lift, this little Chinese guy glares up at me , yanks his hand free and runs off....

No, your english is very good - I can't even speak one word norwegian (or spell norwegian for that matter
) so I must tip my hat to you.Though I figured you weren't english when you ask about whether things make sense in english, like Aaron said.

Thats very funny, Gary
. It beats my story about wrapping my arms around my "wife" outside a department store in Torquay, and saying something soppy like "cor, you look fantastic from behind" when my "wife" turned around and I found myself looking into the eyes of a stranger at exactly the same time my real wife turned up looking very perplexed as to why I would wrap my arms around anyone but her

most of the friends i've had from norway/sweden have not only adapted well to non-native languages, but they have a grasp on the semantics of the language that many native english speakers do not. usually, they sound rather formal verbally in english, in my experience, but that doesnt' hinder communication at all.

Ha ha Garry! Good thing you didn't start groping her (er, him) or something!
Moskus, I've read a few of your posts lately and I didn't really notice that english isn't your first language.
If you want to hear bad english, we had a box at home that a teapot had been in, on it it said 'Instructions: Pour in water. Tea will be immediately all right in approximately 30 minutes. (If you would like to hear more abuse of the english language, read my posts )
