Accented Notes - How do people lose their accent while singing?

from Question of the Week, from the Naked Scientists Hosted by Dr Chris Smith

For this week's Question, we find out why it is that although some people speak with a strong accent, this almost completely disappears when they sing. Could it be that there are language lessons to learn from singing Karaoke? Plus, we ask how long you could survive on the air in a sealed car, and if you're dying of thirst would drinking wine help, or finish you off? Like this podcast?
