This is 100% what English sounds like to non-English speakers. When we can't speak English, especially when we're kids, we sing songs in English without knowing the words, and it sounds like this. It's called "singing in yogurt".
I did it with ABBA and their early songs had some bogus lyrics too and I never understood. Nil Kershaw made a huge hit from „stand in lyrics“ in „the riddle“ that people have debated for decades but mean nothing... I love that sort of thing.

It takes serious talent to be funny in 3 languages and across 3 cultures and continents. He's a funny and very talented guy. Tbarkllah 3lik khouya Gad ;)
It is easy to trick a foreign ear. But he is tricking native ears. I've seen gibberish before (on QI) and it is not as good as this. He doesn't do combinations that sound odd. He doesn't produces sounds that aren't in the English language. And again, he kept freakin' going. He has a good ear.
Fun fact, as a French person i can assure you that we ALL do this when we are drunk, it's like a national sport, when we are fucked up we speak and sing gibberish English.
I hope that one day I can go to France and see this sport. As and American and a native English speaker, I love this idea and am actually really jealous that there isn't a way I could participate. That's amazing and sounds like a lot of fun.
I like how Conan tries to get Gad to stop and Gad is like “you asked for fake English, insisted on fake English, and now you must ask me to stop in fake english.”
I''m french and you can't imagine how talented and hard working this guy is. He can mess up an entire program with improvisation .... you would die laughing.
i cant believe i just discovered gad elmaleh im moroccan and been hearing about him and how huge in france he is but never appreciated his work untill recently this guy is so spontanious he got it all talent personality fame
Just discovered him like 14 minutes ago... I'm originally from Quebec myself but don't live there anymore but I'm sure he's a thing there (French, large Moroccan community...). He's brilliant... Will definitely look out for him. If was in town performing while I was there I'd pay for the ticket
I'm french and Gad was my favourite comedian ever when I was growing up. And, as I've grown older, Conan has become my favourite comedian. So, to see them both together is making me so happy. They've both brought so much laughter to my life.
Aries Moon Rising still nobody reached his peak of fame to this day in france Djamel is now a producer ans never was of the caliber of gad Dubosc and foresti are real good but not at his level and they are either very funny or very unfunny depending on your humor sense The rest is forgettable/politicaly correct(so unfunny)/or too much of a certain demographic (like old ppl) or niche markets (like sex/politic) The only other french legend i can think of is coluche (by legend i mean super fnny to a very large part of the population)
@USF Bfl say that to the ones he stole from.... And we can't even say how much he stole considering he "got inspiration" from a lot of small stand up comedians
This guy was at the top of his career in France, making millions with movies, shows and adverts, and decided to start all over again in USA, only a Moroccan can do this proud of you GAD 🇲🇦❤
Greetings from FRANCE here ! So happy Gad made it to the US. He's a cool and genuine person too ;) Very talented comedian. He has triple nationality, Morocan-French-Canadian.
TheyTasteSoGood but did he do the same song? Because just the fact that he did something similar before doesn't mean this one isn't improvised. (also i think it would be quite hard to remember something like this, it's probably easier to just practice how to do it and then improvise a little every time)
😂😂😂😂 this is freaking HILARIOUS and accurate. When I was a kid, my siblings and I asked my cousin who didn’t know English at the time to tell us what English sounded like to her and this is LEGIT what her interpretation was! 😂

@@INANews you realize immigrants make up 15% of the american population. 47,000,000 immigrants from other countries, 72,000,000 including second generation immigrants. 80% of Americans speak english as their first language. I don't see the logic behind saying literally THE MOST diverse country in the world, by a huge margin, only speaks one language. You'd have to be an actual idiot not to see how that's a logical fallacy.
I just recently watched "Huge in France" and Gad's specials on Netflix (in English and French). He is very impressive and has definitely grown on me more over time. This made me happy to watch
Aucun doute, Gad c’est top. C’est le showman par excellence. Il sait tout faire. Rire, musique, chant, et il parle parfaitement 3 langues+le dialecte canadien qui me fait tant rire. J’espère qu’il va nous revenir très vite car je l’aime trop.
That's really sound like English because I'm Moroccan i don't speak English very well i always use " Google translate " and when he begun singing i was thinking it's maybe some words that i don't know yet
1:47 To prey for friends in strife, and brave the crazy slows. I took her on one knee in a street light solo. Indeed I'm alive, I say my soul grows! I meet a lot of folks, and play in streets of foggy grey. And you were dreaming, bed will soar, with friends and your grin will show. I'm afraid of being not strong enough for the greatest ever person. Autumn rays. Now we sit and watch the breeze. We can try to say goodbye, and I stood a while to cry.
Genius! I used to make up the English words to popular songs when I didn’t speak English. I have never tried fooling others that I actually spoke the language. This was hysterical!

It's impressive for sure. It kind of messes with your mind, because you're trying to make some sense of it, but it's impossible.
We are turning up our volume and turning on subtitles but it is just not english
He's not singing gibberish. He's just a doctor. And singing to his handwriting

So this is what english must sound like to non-english speakers.
Thanks Captain Obvious
As a non-speaker I admit it's correct
This is what Bruce Springsteen sounds like TO english speakers.
Oh God. I just realized that Bob Dylan doesn't know how to sing in English even though he can speak it (more or less).
it's pretty good... but it's hard to remember the time you didnt speak the language.
That's incredible gibberish. It isn't as easy as you think. Try it. And he kept going.
That's easy if you don't speak the language (natively) I think :) .
It is easy to trick a foreign ear. But he is tricking native ears. I've seen gibberish before (on QI) and it is not as good as this. He doesn't do combinations that sound odd. He doesn't produces sounds that aren't in the English language. And again, he kept freakin' going.

@@binasofia I can definitely pretend to speak French... I just speak like a goose.

Unless they're actually speaking their language with your accent. Casting serious shade, as they say.
Omg Gad never disappoints. Can't believe he's just as funny in english as in french.
i don't like him and I agree with your comment
He is very funny in french trust me 😂😂😂
Oh ma GAd
best english song that ive ever heard

I had no idea who he was, will definitely watch the special now.
Keinish79 He is really really popular in countries that speak french
Aries Moon Rising still nobody reached his peak of fame to this day in france
Djamel is now a producer ans never was of the caliber of gad
Dubosc and foresti are real good but not at his level and they are either very funny or very unfunny depending on your humor sense
The rest is forgettable/politicaly correct(so unfunny)/or too much of a certain demographic (like old ppl) or niche markets (like sex/politic)

Made me think of Joey trying to speak french

That’s pretty much like how all songs sound
as a native american english speaker many many english songs sound like this to me tbh. men be singing GIBBERISH
YES YES YES!!!!!! I would listen to a whole album of this!!!!!
He is beyond talented. What a great way to live.
I love his song and he actually had a great voice
Amazing! Such great musical improvisation!! And really funny! Had me smiling and laughing throughout the video.
Jonas Albin not improv I'm afraid ! It's a sketch from his old show (at least 3 years) But still funny !
TheyTasteSoGood ah, thanks for enlightening me! Yes, still very funny. He captivates the audience in his story telling :)
I wish you understand french, the first bit is subtly hilarious, the end part is great too th-cam.com/video/pjbxZ4ZY0ZY/w-d-xo.html

When you're sober, you enjoy the music. When you're high, you understand the lyrics.
He has more talent in his gibberish than 90% of the artists who sing in English.
When he said "praysee de foren graayayay" 😢 I really felt hat 🥺
10 years old me pretending I do know the lyrics of all HSM songs but actually sounding just like this
How am I *JUST* hearing about this *Gad!?* Thank you Conan! 🤣

One of the very first "comedians in cars getting coffee" was with gad elmaleh. I recommend it.

He's a Moroccan humorist
Greetings from FRANCE here ! So happy Gad made it to the US. He's a cool and genuine person too ;)

When he hit those high notes. Just perfect 👌
On repeat cos I love the song especially when the drums come in 😂😂😎
Amazing! Love this guy!
3:04 Hahah! That’s so true man!
I wonder if the fact that he speaks English now influences the way he interprets how English sounds to non-English speakers.
This guy is a genius funny his impressions at 2:48 made me burst out laughin 😂
This guy unmasked the fakery of today music industry. The words are NOT important. Just the musical formula.
It was very uplifting jibberish.
His voice is really good. Monsieur Maleh tu es un trésor pour la comédie
This does sound like English ha ha.
WeRnIS as someone whose native language is Spanish, yes it does.
I'm so happy he's back, teardrops and evrything
Love the way he says, ""everyone" XD
