The thing is, we can never let you pronounce it the correct way, for example Johan Gielen....the Dutch G doesn't exist in english language...it's the sound that you make when there's a big pile of slimey stuff in your throad and u want to get it out
like GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Dutch J is silent, like your Y, ie = eeee...
Lange...is like Dang..which you say when you don't want to curse by saying Damn
Chicane...I pronounce it Ssjickain like dat....it's sort of the French pronunciation me thinks

it's not shy-cane...coz they you'd pronounce it shy..like lie..which is incorrect....
lemme give it another try...
she-cain (she rhymes with me) pronounce cain the same way you pronounce cocain
so chicane = shecain there!

thats not how they say it when they play live... they sometimes speak over the tunes when they play crasher, and it's always doo-mond
"yes, zis is alice deejay.. but zis is the dumonde mix!!"

If they say Doo-mond at crasher, then mebbe I is wrong, but they definetly said doo-mon-day when I spoke to them.
As for chicane, c'mon ppl, its a regular word in common usage in Grand Prix.
