Does anyone know what shes saying?

So I was listening to Ke$ha's Blah, Blah, Blah, when out of nowhere I find myself thinking "What the fuck is she saying?" Now I have heard this song a handful of times but before today it never really bothered me. In fact, it barely occurred to me!

When it comes to speech, is it the words or how we say them? I can't recall how many times a friend has misinterpreted a text I have sent, but my actual voice...well let's just say thats far more rare. The cave men didnt have a language, well one that consisted of words, anyway. A grunt here or there was a complete way of conversing. Which leads me to wonder: is there indeed an international language?

Sounds and expressions are so prominent to the art of conversation. I can not even imagine a time when I haven't used my hands while speaking. And what about the countless articles in Cosmo dedicated to the art of decoding body language. This leaves me thinking... If there is an international language, is it a language without words? Perhaps tones and body language are all we need. Sure words are beautiful but in actuality how much of a necessity are they? Hell, last month, a friend and I actually had an entire conversation simply muttering nonsensical sounds. So maybe it wasn't particularly loquacious or extremely comprehensible, but we were able to get our point across and with a little practice who knows? Maybe words for conversational purposes could become obsolete. Maybe one day we wont need to worry about being lost in translation.
