This is the pidgin/signed english version of Weird Al's "eBay." I ended up having to finger spell some things and abbreviate certain words for me to actually sign it in time (hey I'm still learning this). And for those who don't know who Weird Al is, he takes famous songs and changes the lyrics to something funny. This one is a parody off the song "I want it that way" by the Backstreet Boys. Hope you guys like it :) (please see that I signed with ASL vocabulary but signed it in Pidgin sign).

**Note: I do not own this song, all rights are owned and protected by Warner Music Group.

  • Thanks man, I really needed a project! =D

    Good luck learning sign!

  • Best part of the whole thing? You kept the feeling and tone of voice in your expression. :) I see so many that lose the actual feeling of the song, but you had me grinning the whole way through. :) GJ!

  • YAY you just did my project 4 me =)

  • @Airsoftdude1 its really fun to do ASL i learned at the age of 8

  • @makk1795 This is exact English. If you read the sub-bar he says that it is. Exact English is signing every word that is said.

  • If this was Signed English then you should have put that in your title. Not mislabel it as ASL in title then in the sub-bar actually say that it isn't.

  • Ehh your okay. My parents are deaf

  • MARRY ME?! lmaoo, this was excellent (:
