Goal Deluxe Sander Tree Beers

[JoeActor]

Hey Gang!

I wasn't quite sure where to post this. Not quite a demo or an audition, but it is an interesting vocal/mental exercise.

Below is my recording of a quirky little story I'd seen a few years back.

And... here's the script for those of you that like a challenge (you'll need to read along while listening too):

Alit Dulls Dory: Goal Deluxe Sander Tree Beers
Won sap pun a tine dare washer ladle gull culled Goal Deluxe
zoo leave din dissenter offer lodge forced widow mutter hander
fodder.
Ones, window ladle gull and/or pear rents swear aweigh, dare
hop penned topaz buy tree beers -- ham other beer, ha dotty beer,
inner ladle bay be beer.
Sea ingot dough row pin, bay be beer win tinfoil ode buys modern fodder.
Dot repairs wondered true Goal Deluxe souse: day eight parch;
day satin cheers; sand atlas day fellow slip into tree bids.
Wend Goal Deluxe inner mud rend fodder god hum, daze awe sun
thin whirrs rung. "Sum bodice bin neat tender parch," sad Goal
Deluxe, "an day aided awl! ...Handsome bodice bins it ten end
dough's cheers!"
Gong Hindu turbid run, Goal Deluxe led otters cream:
"Sum bodice bin slipping inner bids anthers till dare!"
Herring hearse cream, dot repair sleep tout ha bet innate Goal
Deluxe sander pear rents sup.
Ream embark ids: Led slipping beers lye.

Since I'm fascinated by accents, it's amazing how the wording change of the story imparts an accent (of some kind) to it. Could be Norway or Russian or German - hard to say!

I'd love to hear some other takes on this, or get your feedback on this odd concept.

Cheers,

That was great. Ten-cue Cho!

That's so funny! It reminds me of another one I have stashed away in the deep dark recesses of my files...now I'll have to dig it out and will post it ...when I find it. It begins "Un petit d'un petit setonne et wolle" or some such...it had a "French" twist to it. :-)

Great! I'd love to see another one.

I used to know a South African one, but it'll take a bit of digging to find that.

My Dad used to have one - Ladle Rat Rotten Hut. I don't know if he has it written out anywhere, maybe I can find it.

Okay, I found it, Google and Wikipedia rock. Apparently a whole book full of these types of stories was written in the 1940s by Howard L. Chase, a professor of French. The book is called Anguish Languish, and the whole text is available here: The Complete Anguish Languish Site

This one's Ladle Rat Rotten Hut.
The Complete Anguish Languish Site

Apparently the original Goldilocks title was "Guilty Looks Enter Tree Beers".

Also, there's another book, I think it's what speechlady referred to, called "Mots d'Heures, Gousses, Rames" [Mother Goose Rhymes]. By Luis d'Antin van Rooten. Available on Amazon (so's Anguish Languish, but through 3rd party sellers starting at $155 dollars!).

These are fun!

Wow! Great find Alexis!
Looks like "Guilty Looks" is closer to the original fairy tale than the "Goal Deluxe" version.

Who knew there was so much of this out there - what a treasure!

Ok, so who's next? I'd love to hear another one of these read aloud.

It reminds me of the story my father used to tell about the guy with the Yiddish accent ordering breakfast:

F U N E X ?
V F X.
F U N E M ?
V F M.
OK I F M N X.

Hey, Pamela Lewis used that one in her book "Talking Funny for Money" as an accent exercise!

[speechlady]

Thanks for posting the link to that book...what a hoot!

Another fun one is the 'kids' book...CDB! by William Steig.

Okay here's mine...couldn't find the original so this one is "my" creation!!! French speakers please try not to cringe at all this babble.


Un petit d’un petit s’etonnez vol
Un petit d’un petit aide ingrate te folle
Alizer quinze hors saisons alizer quinze mienne
Coude note pui temp petit d’un petit bec tous gazeux regagne


and...on second thought...

'Allons-y quinze hors saisons allons-y quinze semaines... '

would read better for the third line.

That was a hoot!
I couldn't tell what is was until I listened to the mp3 - wild!

Wish I spoke more French,
