The broadcasters are Scottish. He’s singing “no haggis here” – haggis is a traditional Scottish dish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggis

Other language comparisons are very useful! Remember, while for some people, this may be their first attempt at learning a second language, for others (puts up hand) it may be an additional language.

I am Canadian, and my original second-language experience was grade school French. When I first took a Spanish course in first year university, our prof had to beat the French pronunciation of “un” out of us. Very nearly literally, too!

Those who don’t get the direct comparison with the other language can ignore it, although it may help them whether they realize it or not. But by all means, using other languages as a touch-stone is a valuable learning tool in language instruction
