Citing it as a historic breakthrough in lyrical cryptography, a University of Washington researcher has finally deciphered the mysterious language of ‘Yellow Ledbetter,’ which has dogged linguists for ages.
“Awuh tha see theyah on abortion sitall seh lemmeh seh awahalevuh egayon,” said Wayne Algar, the UW linguist and cryptographer who had been working on the language since it first surfaced in 1992. “Seee imacom i don i don i don wanna a luxsit or a bag.”
Regarding the purpose of the language, Algar could only say “baby cry.”
UW spokesman Hector Volta said the language reportedly was only uttered by one particularly vein-popping grunge band singer and radio listeners for about a decade before it died out almost completely save for Algar’s research.
“We always believed in Algar’s work and are excited to see what he’s on next,” Volta said.
But Algar admitted he’s afraid he can’t find a better language.
“ I don wahnuhsay atal I don wahnuhsayeee eeheee hehe ,” Algar said shaking his head. “Aw, awhuhawaw, yeah, ooo … ooooah, ooooahhh whoah oh.”
