Soramimi

On YouTube there are a lot of soramimi videos. Soramimi is a program on Japanese TV which viewers send in foreign songs which have parts that sound like they are saying something odd in Japanese.
According to Wikipedia soramimi means a word used in the Japanese language to describe lyrics of a song that sound like the original, but are actually made up.
In the video above I can understand that he’s saying his eyes hurt. A commenter helpfully gave a full translation:
Mayday, mayday, day (X5), dutty (X5), Sean Paul this one is hot =
Me ite-, Me ite- , ite (X5), dochi (X5), Shampoo, Rinsu ga nai sa!
(MY EYES HURT! (X2) OUCH!(X5), Which one!? (X5) - Shampoo! There’s no conditioner!
There’s a whole load more under the soramimi tag.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Japanese laughing about funny, foreign songs sounding like their own language. They butcher the English language every day with their made up Engrish.

I think it’s interesting that there are songs with lyircs that sound like Japanese words.
