Little trivia: Mr Moschitta originally taught himself to speak quickly when he was a child, using his skill to annoy his sister.

...and the chorus goes, "It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine."

the original rap God

@elithecat, this is John Mochitta, and he really is TALKING that fast. He has appeared on many talk shows, variety shows, and even in some t.v. series, like 'Saved By The Bell'. I think he's amazing, and am a big fan.

John Moschitta - World Record for fastest talker.

Imagine if he was a Spanish chick.

I put this at 2x speed and I feel enlightened

Sad part is, I know Ya Got Trouble so well that I knew exactly what he was saying. (I'm in The Music Man as a townsperson and we ran through the song learning our dance moves a lot, plus I listen to it a lot, so I know it by heart.)

Fran Tarkington would have never had a delay of game if he talked like this.

He’s reciting the lyrics to Ya Got Trouble, by Meredith Wilson

He'll make a great auctioneer!

That's the guy who used to do the Micro Machines commercials when I was a kid!

this guys video should have WAY MORE VIEWS!

Andrememberifitdoesn'tsayMicroMachines, IT'S NOT THE REAL THING!

Its funny because I'm from a small town, where the people are known for talking fast, and I can actually understand most of what he's saying.

Oh wow, this is hilarious...especially since he played Harold Hill in a version of The Music Man! Of course, the fact that he voices Blurr only makes it all the more funny!

You can thank the graduates of The John Moschitta Institute Of Speed Talking for those indecipherable disclaimer voiceovers or the rapid fire radio station TOH Legal IDs

Very informative

He's reciting the famous monologue from "The Music Man". This is Harold Hill's speech to the citizens of River City. It's called "Trouble". ("Oh, ya got trouble. Right here in River City. That's trouble with a capital T that rhymes with P and that stands for POOL....")

He's turning into the Micro Machine Man.

Thanks I added it to the keywords

I remember watching this episode as a kid.

And he became the FedEx guy...

0:07 - 1:08: When the teacher has u come up and read ur story to the class

He also voices Blurr in both G1 Transformers and Transformers Animated.

That's John Moschitta, the guy from the FedEx commercials back in the 80's.

What I really find incredible is KZfaq CC

wow, its weird to see John Moschitta that young!

i like the bit at the end

John Moschitta, Jr…the man. The myth. The fast-talking legend.

I remember he was the voice of Blurr from Transformers The Movie

@Blackjesus3 And what's crazy even more is that you could understand what he was saying

I wonder how many times he bit his tongue learning how to talk that fast.

Imagine him rapping a track lasting only twenty seconds

Slow it down to 0.5 speed, and you'll discover that he's not saying many actual words. He's speaking mostly gibberish.

I wish I still had my Micro-Machines.

I remember the Micro-Machines commercial he did after this aired...

he's reciting bits of the Music Man "we've got trouble with a capital t that rhyme with p which stands for pool.

Mr. Testaverde!!

he learned to talk really fast as a child as a way to annoy his sister

@mikelecane I think he's quoting lyrics from "The Music Man". "That rhymes with 'p' and that stands for pool."

Dang, it's like this guy comes with a fast-forward button or something!

507 words or 504 wpm. Well, either you're closing your eyes to a situation you do now wish to acknowledge or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated by the presence of a pool table in your community. Ya got trouble, my friend, right here, I say, trouble right here in River City. Why sure I'm a billiard player, certainly mighty proud I say I'm always mighty proud to say it. I consider that the hours I spend with a cue in my hand are golden. Help you cultivate horse sense...!

"A man hears what he wants to hear, and disregards the rest" - Paul Simon "The Boxer"

Downloaded and played at half speed. There were real sentences in there, but there also seemed to be sections of gibberish too. And remember, if it's not Micromachines, it's not the real thing.

yep he came from my town uniondale

and thats where the micro machines guy got his big break

John should give some $ to the producers of That's Incredible -- his career launched from this appearance, the ad agency for the fed ex commercials saw it and got in touch with him, the rest is history. Oh, and he should give some $ to his sisters too -- for forcing this side of him to come out to such an extreme degree :)

this guy would make a great auctioneer!

@Blackjesus3 All that was "Ya Got Trouble" from THE MUSIC MAN.

This is unbelievable!!!

Pretty sure he had a recorder inside him

He also does a wicked fed ex commercial

No, he's saying the lyrics to "Yo Got Trouble"

you can hear every word if you listen closely.

@ThaByza he actually says "rhymes with p and and stands for pool", I think

@heero10 He's not saying presence in a pool, he says "P and that stands for pool" Lyrics to Ya Got Trouble from The Music Man.

I like the part where he breaths :'D

Total words spoken: 3,217 words. I counted it, using my Ishtar software for audio analysis, breaking it down into mono bytes and fractiles. Actually very easy process.

Part 2/9 Well, you got trouble my friend. Right here, I say, trouble right here in River City. Why sure I'm a billiard player, certainly mighty proud to say, I'm always mighty proud to say it. I consider that the hours I spend with a cue in my hand are golden. Help ya cultivate horse sense, and cool head and a keen eye.

what this guy was doing was doing a fast version of a song from the music man called trouble

[i] incredibly fast! [i] *trumpets*

presence of a pool

Now, speed this video up to 2x. Faster. :)

i wish i could do that when my girl annoys me and says : "say something"

The Micro Machines guy! :D

I would be surprised if this guy wasn't an auctioneer at least on the side...

This played as blurr in transformers

I wonder how fast he reads books

Can we get a transcript on this? :)

Harold: Well, either you're closing your eyes To a situation you do now wish to acknowledge Or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated By the presence of a pool table in your community. Ya got trouble, my friend, right here, I say, trouble right here in river city. Why sure I'm a billiard player, Certainly mighty proud I say I'm always mighty proud to say it. I consider that the hours I spend With a cue in my hand are golden. Help you cultivate horse sense And a cool head and a keen eye. Never take and try to give An iron-clad leave to yourself From a three-reail billiard shot? But just as I say, It takes judgement, brains, and maturity to score In a balkline game, I say that any boob kin take And shove a ball in a pocket. And they call that sloth. The first big step on the road To the depths of deg-ra-day-- I say, first, medicinal wine from a teaspoon, Then beer from a bottle. An' the next thing ya know, Your son is playin' for money In a pinch-back suit. And list'nin to some big out-a-town jasper Hearin' him tell about horse-race gamblin'. Not a wholesome trottin' race, no! But a race where they set down right on the horse! Like to see some stuck-up jockey'boy Sittin' on dan patch? Make your blood boil? Well, I should say. Friends, lemme tell you what I mean. Ya got one, two, three, four, five, six pockets in a table. Pockets that mark the diff'rence Between a gentlemen and a bum, With a capital "b," And that rhymes with "p" and that stands for pool! And all week long your river city Youth'll be frittern away, I say your young men'll be frittern! Frittern away their noontime, suppertime, choretime too! Get the ball in the pocket, Never mind gittin' dandelions pulled Or the screen door patched or the beefsteak pounded. Never mind pumpin' any water 'Til your parents are caught with the cistern empty On a saturday night and that's trouble, Oh, yes we got lots and lots a' trouble. I'm thinkin' of the kids in the knickerbockers, Shirt-tail young ones, peekin' in the pool Hall window after school, look, folks! Right here in river city. Trouble with a capital "t" And that rhymes with "p" and that stands for pool! Now, I know all you folks are the right kinda parents. I'm gonna be perfectly frank. Would ya like to know what kinda conversation goes On while they're loafin' around that hall? They're tryin' out bevo, tryin' out cubebs, Tryin' out tailor mades like cigarette feends! And braggin' all about How they're gonna cover up a tell-tale breath with sen-sen. One fine night, they leave the pool hall, Headin' for the dance at the arm'ry! Libertine men and scarlet women! And rag-time, shameless music That'll grab your son and your daughter With the arms of a jungle animal instink! Mass-staria! Friends, the idle brain is the devil's playground! People: Trouble, oh we got trouble, Right here in river city! With a capital "t" That rhymes with "p" And that stands for pool, That stands for pool. We've surely got trouble! Right here in river city, Right here! Gotta figger out a way To keep the young ones moral after school! Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble... Harold: Mothers of river city! Heed the warning before it's too late! Watch for the tell-tale sign of corruption! The moment your son leaves the house, Does he rebuckle his knickerbockers below the knee? Is there a nicotine stain on his index finger? A dime novel hidden in the corn crib? Is he starting to memorize jokes from capt. Billy's whiz bang? Are certain words creeping into his conversation? Words like 'swell?" And 'so's your old man?" Well, if so my friends, Ya got trouble, Right here in river city! With a capital "t" And that rhymes with "p" And that stands for pool. We've surely got trouble! Right here in river city! Remember the maine, plymouth rock and the golden rule! Oh, we've got trouble. We're in terrible, terrible trouble. That game with the fifteen numbered balls is a devil's tool! Oh yes we got trouble, trouble, trouble! With a "t"! Gotta rhyme it with "p"! And that stands for pool!!!

It is BLUR, from the Transformers !!!

@mkend3 Uh, that's because he IS the Micromachines Man.

I could see him on a rap track with Twista

there is no way i can talk that fast

Thing is, he could probably call the audience every swear word ever created and you could think he is reciting "Can't touch this".

In the age 12 self learnt to talk quickly than the fast speakers of the world.

he sounds like one of those people that commentate on horse races

Part 1/9 Well either you are closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge, or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated by thepresence of a pool table in your community.

this guy ounds like john moschitta jr. I think it is him

The Micro Machines guy!

there is no way i can talk that fast!!!!!!!!!!!

this guy should rap!!

SOLD

@MicheleLandon13 No, he's not, he's saying the lyrics to Ya Got Trouble from The Music Man

I believe he just read the entire book of War and Peace

Auctioneers been real quiet since this dropped

Did this lead to the famous FedEx commercials?

John Ought to Be an Auctioneer

Ready... get set ... Talk ! Lmao

I saw that when I was in third grade!

i'd like to see him talk like that to an old person XD

my side hurts....wait thats my brain on the floor

@OscarC4C4 who do you talk to?

John DAvidson is co-host on left; the other blond guy is an ex football player from NFL

He could have said he cheated his wife and murdered three persons and at the end they still would have smiled, shake hands, then commercials and stuff because no one would have understood

"SWEET JESUS! wow!

lmao he did say that. he said it at "53 too

I loved him since that Transformer movie in '84. He played Blurr and had only 3 scenes. What a waste.

it is
