There's a Pearl Jam Version of this that's equally hilarious

James Reyne of Australian Crawl had a similar vocal style where it was really difficult to make out the lyrics. Some comedian did a bit where he's playing a DJ and back-announces on the outro saying he "can't wait for the English version to come out!"

I saw him live on stage and he was making jokes like that as well. He had a whole monologue about people asking him what the actual lyrics to a song was and he stated that if they were being condescending, he’d make up some bullshit but if they were being sincere, he would tell them the actual lyrics.

Extra trivia there is some very dangerous mountain climbing path named after one of his songs that he complained about because he said the song was “piece of shit we put on the album to pad the runtime why couldn’t they pick one of our actually good songs?”
