Many of us saw the guy singing last week. It reminded me of how many kids nowadays are unfamiliar with the spellings of words becuase they only hear them, instead of reading them. So the result is that they spell the phonemes they hear.

The omazing game is to put correctly spelled words together so that the phonemes, when spoken, cause you to hear a phrase, name etc.

Sand tackle laws

Shock cussed toe

Ah may sing gray souse wheat thus hound
Sat safe duh wrench lie eek meow ones was slaws button how ham fount
Wasp lined button how ice he
(had to fudge a little to get this one)

Anybody have some time to waste or some creativity to show? I didn't create the first two. They're from an activity I do with 4th - 6th graders, though hardly any of them know of Jacque Cousteau.

It is very old in Internet age (like 1997?) but demonstrates what you are talking about. And it is a tribute to our fat, fallen hero, Pavarotti!

Quite an interesting interpretation.
