Bark, or the F-Word?

What does the toy sing?

After going through it with the volume turned up fairly loud, the first one could have gone either way, the second one definitely sounded like 'bark', and the third one sounded the most like 'fuck'. Watching the second video, I was surprised at how obviously the second doll was "bark" as compared to the first one. Maybe the lady in the OP just bought one with a funky soundbox.
 
Whats up with that lady's accent? I can't be the only one thinking this. Is that like the english equivalent of a southern drawl?

Estuarine english aka "chav speak" -- I thought it was Matt Lucas doing a piss take.

Back on topic, it certainly sounds like fuck to me. But maybe that's just my twisted little mind at work.

There are several occurrences, which to me sound increasingly like "fuck" as the song progresses.

It’s the accent heard in the audio clip South-East > England 69 here. Sounds to me like sloppy Cockney.

And that really does sound like “fuck”!

That second toy has a different recording, doesn't it? It sounds like the voice of an American kid, while the first one is definitely British.

I wonder if Asda are still stocking the swearing dog. :)
 
The woman is a loony tune. She probably sees penises in The Little Mermaid, too. :rommie:
 
Actually, this whole thing shows why people should not have accents.

Interestingly enough, this dog toy was the first choice to use to mess with Picard's mind before the lights in "Chain of Command".
Gul Madred: What does the dog say, Picard?
Picard: Bark.
Gul Madred: Again. What does the dog say, Picard?
Picard: Bark.
Gul Madred: No it doesn't. Listen closely. What does the dog say, Picard?
Picard: THE DOG SAYS, "BARK!"
 
I bet there's a hell of a market, though, for plush toy dogs for adults that do sing naughty.

I saw this news article earlier today. It reminded me: I've heard this before. I can't recall exactly, but I seem to think I've heard other stories where the toys clearly DID say naughty words (I think Tickle Me Elmo was one).

Personally, I think it's not so much if one thinks the doll is saying that or not, but rather the decision of the parent. If you think your kid has no idea, then fine. But I've seen plenty of parent (both black and white) who have their kids -- young, young, younbg kids, in the backseat while loud-ass rap music plays, blaring away such filthy foul sewer language as common place lingo, like "fuck", "shit", "nigger", countless disgusting sexual wordings that kids should NEVER heard, and of course lyriucs of violence against people, women, and cops. For those parents ... I guess the doll is a okay.
That stuff, byt the way, should be legally actionable child abuse, in my opinion.
 
To me it sounds like fuck.
I wonder if where in the world your from makes, a difference to what it sounds like to you?
