It's easy, you just have to listen to it concentrating on the sounds, rather than on the way you would expect to hear the words according to our Spanish sounds.
Let me propose an activity. Listen to the song and then find words that contain the following sounds:
/dʒ/ as in jazz,
/a:/as in car,
and a very easy one - /ai/ as in light,
... and don't miss the final dooby doooby dooo for /d/.
/dʒ/ as in jazz,
/a:/as in car,
and a very easy one - /ai/ as in light,
... and don't miss the final dooby doooby dooo for /d/.

You have four days to think about it, and after those days, you are welcome to write your results in the comment box. Enjoy the sounds!
Hey students, where are your answers!!??!!??

This is an amazing video to improve our pronunciation a bit more:

I think I have found some sounds:
/dʒ/ as in stranger
/iz/as in chances
/a:/as in dance
/ai/ as in night
Hi everyone, the teacher sent us a very easy play.
I propose you another play.
I'll say you the words and you imagine the sounds. Ok?
If you send another words,I'll prefer imagine the sounds. Of course!
My words are:
eyes: from "something in your eyes..."
heart: from "something in my heart..."
glances: from "exchanging glances..."
just: from "love was just a..."
Now, send me others words and I'll say you the sounds!.
Marta, I just loved the video, really! And I'm not even too keen on the song.
Hey, Teach, I'll try with a sound too: I liked "exchanging" because of /dʒ/ after the voiceless soung which I'm not able to transcribe here for I am lazy. Great exercise!
José María, I'm afraid I didn't quite get what you want us to do. Sorry!

It´s a great exercise. Thanks, teacher!
Dear students,
It would be nice if you gave this a look, I'd like to go through it with you in class next week, let's say on the 8th. Good work!!!

I really enjoy with this song. It's one of the best for me. I love it.
/dz/: stranges,exchanging
/iz/: stranges,chances, glances
/a:/: glances,heart,dance
/ai/: night,eye,smile,exciting,side
inviting
well done Poppy!!!!
I assume you mean strangers, for the /dʒ/
/iz/ is not correct for strangers, that should be a schwa
But the rest is pretty fine.
Sorry for not keep in touch before but I was away all last week without net.
Roma,forgive me for not explaining it perfectly.
I wanted that you would tell me a word and then I would say the sound.
for example:
eyes: from "something in your eyes" is with the sound /ai/.
heart: is with the sound /a:/.
glances: is with /iz/.
just: is with /dg/.
Yes, I ment strangers for /dz/ but it was wrong for /iz/. I knew that but I don't know how I wrote it again. That was wrong.
Thanks a lot.
Roma,
If you pay attention "the night". I imagine you say me "thanks" and I say you "denai",so "night" is with /ai/.
"before" is also interesting,I imagine it like two air balloon deflacting: /bi'fffff/.
do you get it?
I only could find:
/dz/strangers
/iz/glances, chances
/a:/ heart
/ai/ night, right, exciting
