On se niin väärin!!
So one of the sites that links to that Helsinki Complaints Choir video on youtube is, of course,
finland, and now I know how to say "It's not fair!" in Finnish: "On se niin väärin!!" Which, judging from the video, is pronounced relatively easily: Ohn seh neen vah-rihn. I think they have one of those "flip" R sounds with a D in it, like Japanese does. Or like "Gloria" does when you sing it.
So now I can get that song stuck in my head even more. >_<
And I don't know how to do the dots over the As. I totally keep cutting and pasting it.
I think it's time to change my username and the title of my journal. I've been meaning to do that for ages.
...and done! Woohoo.

There's a bit on YouTube for the Birmingham Complaints Choir, but it's not nearly as good as the Helsinki one.
Ha, I've got the "all ring tones are irritating" part stuck in my head. So at this moment, I have people singing the sound of a ring tone, in Finnish, stuck in my head. *rolls eyes*
I wonder what they mean by "reference numbers"? I want to think phone numbers or something.

I don't remember the reference numbers part...maybe another listen is in order!

It's always worth listening to again! Jesus, I must've watched that thing ten times by now.

The consonant r is similar to Korean r. To an English speaker's ears, its pronunciation lies somewhere between a flapped t (as in American and Australian English better and ladder), an l and a d.
*pokes around wikipedia some more* Hmmm. Apparently it's more of a rolled R, like in Spanish. It sounds like a flipped R in the song, but they are going fast.
