What English sounds like to a non-speaker

I've been thinking about what English might sign like to a foreigner. I thought it probably sounded a bit like a softer version of German or something. After some research I came across this song by legendary Italian singer Adriano Celantan called 'Prisencolinensinainciusol', in which he uses gibberish words strung together to sound like an English sentence.

It's pretty interesting.
