Our Take

With his album "Phonetically Speaking," Victor Borge delivers a whimsical and wacky collection of musical comedy that will have you in stitches from start to finish. Borge, known for his unique blend of classical music and comedy, takes on language with his signature charm and wit in this latest offering.

From the moment the album kicks off with "Punctuation," Borge's clever wordplay and linguistic acrobatics come to the forefront. With tracks like "Country & Western," where he hilariously mashes up different musical genres with the English language, and "Danish Lessons," where he pokes fun at his own native tongue, Borge showcases his mastery of both music and comedy.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Phonetic Punctuation," where Borge demonstrates his unparalleled ability to turn the simplest of linguistic concepts into a laugh-out-loud performance. His timing and delivery are impeccable, making each punchline hit harder than the last.

Overall, "Phonetically Speaking" is a delightful romp through the world of words and music, brought to life by the one and only Victor Borge. If you're looking for a good laugh and some top-notch musical talent, look no further than this album. Borge may have passed away in 2000, but his legacy lives on through his timeless comedy and music.
