do da stanky leg

I recently found a job at a summer camp. I'm working as a teaching assistant in a 4-week language summer camp where the children are taught in Mandarin and encouraged to communicate using Mandarin, which means I must speak Chinese for 8 hours each day. I'm happy.

During dismissal yesterday I saw two of my students dancing while singing, "do da' stanky leg" and came home to find this on youtube. Am I really late on this stanky leg thang?

Avril's Screechy Voice Transcends Linguistic Divides

Avril Lavigne recorded the refrain of her hit in eight languages: English, Japanese, Portugese, German, Chinese (Mandarin), Italian, Spanish and French!

See a compilation of Avril's 8 versions (turn on your unblockers, china friends). It's worth it.
