I thought my fellow language nerds would enjoy this song, brilliantly performed in ASL, with subtitles in English and ASL.

I'd heard ASL word order was different from English, but I didn't realize how different it was. From what I saw that was actually closer to Korean word order than English.
...and now that song is in my head again...thanks, Levi. :-P

Thanks a lot! I know Jonathon Coulton from doing the Portal songs, but I had never heard any other of his songs. That was a great song, and very well done in ASL.

Great video! There's a nice load of ASL and BSL music videos on youtube and I take my hat
off the makers of them - being a performing arts graduate - I love a bit of entertainment
and talent! :)
