These YouTube videos are a little confusing at first. This guy sounds like he’s singing in slurred Russian. And he’s playing with various props. It’s all very strange.

Can you guess what song he’s singing? How could you? It’s just gibberish, right? Well, at the halfway point everything changes.

It turns out he was singing in English. He was simply singing backwards. With the video reversed, you hear the actual song. That’s a very impressive, if strange, talent. I featured one of his first videos here.
