Okay, I don't know how I got it in my head that he was Australian - lol. Maybe the "Ozzy" part.

I find it quite difficult to imagine confusing an Aussie accent with a Birmingham accent. (Though I suppose songs are always a bit tricky.)

Considering that I have no idea in my head of what a Birmingham accent sounds like...

Well, to be honest, I don’t really know either. But it certainly sounds nothing like an Australian one!

But that needs a specialist's ear. Many British accents can be told apart by the way they sound, even if you can't really make out what's being said. Same with AAVE and Southern, they just sound different. Whether certain vowels are rounded or unrounded, or certain vowels merged etc., doesn't really affect the way the speech sounds, hencemy inability to distinguish them.

Kurwa is a song containing phrases in a bunch of different languages. Most of them are well-known phrases from widely-spoken languages. A couple of less-known ones are kil monda (Tatar) and oyboy (Kazakh). Rakamakafo is a garbled version of rock the microphone from "Freestyler".

Does anyone know what ge genamudo kata ta kataketakata is? Is it gibberish? Is it a meme like rakamakafo?
