ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sprechgesang

Sprechgesang is when someone talks in a funny way that kind of sounds like singing. It's like they're talking and singing at the same time! Imagine you're reading a book out loud, but instead of just saying the words, you say them in a sing-songy voice. That's how sprechgesang sounds! It's often used in music to give a unique and interesting effect. Think of it like a musical talk show host, they talk like they're singing, but they're not really singing. So, basically, sprechgesang is a talking-singing hybrid!
