Volgadon - whatever the melody, that's Ukrainian, I think, words sung and backed in an American pop/rock style. Also, that chap has one of the pokiest backhands I've ever seen!; and, further, as I've said in my myspace blog, I don't like females playing tennis as it puts too much strain on the racket-arm...I hasten to add, mind, that I'd have no problem with the next Archbishop of Canterbury being a female.
And, as for accents, Don, as a repat, I've listened carefully to Geordie athletics commentary, and a recording of a NE chap reading a poem. However, I accept that mine is not presently a northern English accent but a mixed one...I learnt to talk with a Lancashire accent, I Australianised to some extent, and, home for over a decade now, it's gone back a bit toward northern English.
