I have no idea which came first, but I like Gallagher's delivery better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDFQXxWIyvQ&feature=related (the similar part starts around 4 minutes into the clip).

That's good too.  Or should I say that's gud tu?  Heh!  What I always thought would make more sense would be to spell everything in the pronunciation key style where everything has diacritical marks so each sound has a dedicated symbol.  But the pronunciation key is almost useless cause nobody learns to read or write with those characters. I suppose it must be more efficient for our brains to learn all the unique exceptions while using a smaller set of symbols.
