Ain't Seen Ruthin Yet

Now this is getting ridiculous. What is next? Tenby? Y Felinheli, perhaps? Or maybe even Builth Wells? I dare anybody to find a rhyme for Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch which at least has a railway station. Still, fair play, this video spoof set to Bachman-Turner Overdrive's 70s classic, 'Ain't Seen Nothing Yet', done DGJ style is actually quite funny

Couldn't he have at least pronounced the place name correctly? rather that than the awful anglicisation that he goes with.

Yes, I agree. It did grate with me too.

I wrote a limerick about Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch once...

I invented the Welsh game of Monopoly
But I'm afraid I cannot speak Welsh properly
It would not be so hard if
I'd set it in Cardiff
But I set it in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch you see.

PS DGJ speaks Welsh so I think the pronounciation was part of the joke!
