Týr - Sinklars vísa.

This is fucking awesome. I knew that they do sing in gøtudanskt (Danish with Faroese pronunciation and other Faroese influence in vocabulary and grammar), but I've actually thought this song was a song they sung in Norwegian, for a change, until today, when I actually looked up the lyrics and saw the orthography, which was undoubtedly Danish.

Sure, I could hear a few things when I listened that were not proper Norwegian, but I just figured that they did some honest mistakes, since they are Faroese, after all, and not Norwegian, just like Finnish Finntroll makes hilarious mistakes when singing in Swedish.

I mean, it sounds almost exactly like Norwegian. I had no problems at all understanding the lyrics (I wouldn't really have a problem with real Danish either, but I mean that Norwegian and Swedish phonologies are so similar that it felt like Swedish, even), and I mean... what the fuck? They even use features in their pronunciation found in Norwegian/Swedish, but not in either of Faroese and Danish, such as retroflex consonants!

Ramund hin unge, which is also sung in gøtudanskt, sure does sound very much like Norwegian and Swedish, too, but not at all as similar and genuine as when they sing Sinklars vísa.

Fucking awesome.

I have fine taste in music. One minute I might be listening to Eurovision, but the next you'll find me playing Frank Sinatra's Come Fly With Me.
