Since Dave has linked this, I want to expand on the fact that I start the Austral "No Speak Americano" end of the supposed continuum not with "We No Speak Americano" but with In-Grid's "Tu Es Foutu" from Italy (and therefore in French and set on the French Riviera) from back in 2001, which abcfsk had clued me into as an early progenitor of the no-speak-americano rhythm. It was a big hit in a bunch of European countries (incl. Romania) in 2002 and 2003, and in Australia and New Zealand in a cleaner English-language version "You Promised Me" in 2003, also making the U.S. dance chart. I mention this in passing, too quickly, in the above write-up, via only a couple of links, but (and I'm sure this was abcfsk cluing me in again) In-Grid had done a variant of "Tu Es Foutu" in 2005, calling the new song "One More Time" – which K-pop group Jewelry covered in 2008, Jewelry's version hitting number one on a couple of the Korean TV performance shows (I don't think there was a Gaon chart yet), this version produced by none other than Shinsadong Tiger!
