California English- Vapire Weekend

The song, California English, is very different from all other songs. The way it is sung is extremely hard to understand. To me, it all sounds like nonsense. But when you read the lyrics, it is surprising that they are actually saying real words.
Every sentence is very short. There are lots of commas but they don't break up the idea. They use sibilance and the way the words are pronounced creates an onomatopoeia. (they sound like someone with a Californian accent). It also has repetitive alliteration. 

I read 
Monday 10 min of perks of being a wallflower
Tuesday 10 min of perks of being a wallflower
Wednesday 10 min of perks of being a wallflower
Thursday 30 min of perks of being a wallflower
Friday 10 min of perks of being a wallflower
Saturday-Sunday 45 min of perks of being a wallflower 
Monday-20 min of analyzing and writing a poem ( I had writers block...)
