My mate Iota sent me a link to this great You Tube video. It's two very lovely young girls from Tyneside putting a very different spin on a popular song.
That video is great. I spent four years in Newcastle as a student and I'm from the north east originally, and yeah all songs should be sung in a Geordie accent.
I called my daughter "Pet" the other day. It just popped out. My mum used to call me that - she grew up in the North East. (Actually, she still does call me that.)
Love it! We saw King Lear at the London Almeida last weekend and the King's fool spoke with a very thick Geordie accent. I could hardly understand him. Shakespeare in Geordie, I ask you!

ReplyDeleteThat's funny - I need to track down a Glasgow version next!
ReplyDeleteLove it! (Must play it for some friends here and convince them that's how ALL Brits talk... Am guessing you've already done that, EPM?)
ReplyDeleteI loved it - and I don't even "get" the regionalism.
ReplyDeleteI had actually never even heard that song until all the parodies started popping up.
Thanks for sharing, several of my friends are Geordies so I'll be sharing this with them.

ReplyDeleteHa ha good one .... it would be funny if it was released in USA they'd have to have subtitles!
