Catchy tune, too.
Feel free to write a transcript of what you think they are saying.

Now why weren’t language classes like that where I went to school?

No kidding.  I might learned something instead of being bored out of my skull.

Well geez. It reminds me of the stuff that runs through my head just before I fall asleep.

No, that’s just us calibrating our mind-control device on you before we start our subliminal programming of you in your sleep.

We get a lot of tourists in Edinburgh, and it’s really weird when I’m on a bus and hear people speaking something that sounds like English, but I can’t understand them. Apparently they’re speaking Dutch, which seems to have a similar accent and inflections.

Oh, is that why I dreamt about printing stuff in a box in my attic in my nightgown last night? blank stare

Are you sure that they’re not just speaking Glaswegian or Orcadian English?  I know that the “waterman” dialect that is common where I used to live in Maryland was virtually unintelligible. . .though the fact that you’d need to gather together on average eight watermen in order to find the normal human amount of thirty-two teeth might have something to do with that, too.

No comment.  (Though the nightgown was my idea; Madmouse wanted it to be strategically-positioned stingless jellyfish instead, but I over-ruled her.)
