Songs sung with accents
A lad at work says that "In'it funny how all songs are sung without the singer's accents.."
To which i replied "how about the proclaimers & the pogues"
He then said "I bet there's no others"
I just wondered if any of you people out there can think of any others..??

I saw Catatonia many years ago, when they weren't so heard of, supporting the Manic Street Preachers and Cerys did NOT have a welsh accent on any of the songs they did. Then the whole 'Welsh' thing 
happened so I guess see saw distance (money) in milking the accent thing.

Regardless of whether Cerys Matthews' accent is real (I'll check on Monday - my mates have engineered them, so they should know 
), the post is about singers who sing songs with accents.
She still applies IMHO

I can assure you 100% that Cerys has a h-i-e-w-j South Welsh accent; this is particularly likely to be the case as she can also speak the local lingo. No cynical marketing ploy going on here - she rrrrrrrrrreally does say Road Rage like that! Others:
Gorky's Zygotic Monkey
Super Furrys
Shirley Bassey (admitedly not the one of where she was born though)
Shabba Ranks
Kraftwerk
Travis (slight...)
A-Ha
Roxette
Dragostea din Tei (sorry!)
Dana International
& anyone else on Eurovision!

Seriously though, I'll have to have a word with my source because she reliably informed me that this was the case a few years back. Apparently her parents and Cerys' family are friends.
