The original song is from Arctic Monkeys, “Do I Wanna Know?” (2013). The poster has a variety of interests, and Latin is surely one of them. The original is about a love affair that turns bad, but he keeps crawling back. The classical pronunciation is first-rate, and the guys taking part in the video amount to hip-hop Latin scholars. I looked up “summat”, which is British for “something”. Repto is I crawl. I remember my brother loved that word estne so much he said it all the time. Estne translated: is it or do you? He heard it in class. I think the way he meant it was, do you understand? He answered no for us.
