Want to know what English sounds like? I think this (rather strange) video does an excellent job with their fake English...all the right sounds, plenty of real words, nonsensical word order. What do you think?
An older example that I've seen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZXcRqFmFa8
There's also a whole series of youtube videos about people faking English and other languages, apparently sparked by this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C5EZmyJ9ik
