Latin spin-off

6/29/2022

The original song is from Arctic Monkeys, “Do I Wanna Know?” (2013). I don’t know whether to endorse this spin-off or not. The poster has a variety of interests, and Latin is surely one of them. Is it for holy purposes? I have no idea. The original is about a love affair that is not so good, but he keeps crawling back.

I think the video is a nod to Roman poets before medieval minstrels took over. The classical pronunciation is first-rate. The guys taking part in the video almost amount to Latin scholars, and hip-high ones. I had to rewind many times to read the Latin. 
I looked up “summat”, which is British for “something”. Repto. I crawl (like a reptile). X out the live caption if it pops up. 

I remember that my brother loved that word estne so much he said it all the time. Translated - is it or do you? He heard it in class a lot. I think the way he meant it was, do you understand?? He answered for us: No! Tom was the alpha. Did he want his brother and sisters crawling back to him?
