I once linked to something like this. But that didnt hold a candle to this one:
Did you notice that when the song starts to go in the right direction his voice has an Eastern European accent? I have no idea whether this guy is a native English speaker. If he is then this is an artifact of singing backwards. If he really is Eastern European then it says something about language accents that they appear even when singing a foreign language backwards.

Actually, if you check out his other videos (“OneManSho”), you’ll see that he has an American accent.

Not quite the same, but I think you’ll like this one from Weird Al.

Isn’t it likely that he learned the song by taping himself singing it, then playing the recording backwards and learning it by rote? Any accent would be preserved in that case…
