Accents

[Lymania]

Dear Listers,
I was finally reading several days of less-than-current Brin-List postings, when I read Jeroen's comment about speaking Dutch.  That we could learn it easily by immersion, but who knows how long it would take us to lose our American accents.  And it reminded me of something that I have mused before.  "Are there languages in which an American accent is sexy?"
A French accent is certainly the number one accent to have for maximum sexiness in the U.S. I am not sure that most in the U.S. could or would make a distinction between national French and Francophone Swiss or Belgian.  Haitians whose primary language is French, however, don't seem to have kept the sexy phonemes.
An Italian accent is close behind French for sexiness.  Swedish (and probably all Scandinavian languages) is pretty sexy too.  German becomes sexy in certain contexts, as does Russian.  But Polish, Czech, Spanish, Greek, Baltic and Balkan accents are not notably sexy to U.S. ears.  Accents from South America have no special magic, and accents from the entire African continent, Middle East, and India clang discordantly on U.S. ears.  Pacific Island accents are interesting.  East Asian accents are too.
This is all said, with "The Fifth Element" as exhibit A, with the understanding that you could have beautiful sexy people speak gibberish and we would find it irresistible.
About the only non-European accent (probably really neo-European) which has a chance is Jamaican.  (Normally I would consider it among British accents, but it is distinctive enough to consider by itself.  Bahamian accents, on the other hand, sound "British enough" to me to be grouped with  British Isles accents.) And I am thinking mostly of woman with Jamaican accents.  I personally am no judge of whether men with Jamaican accents sound sexy.
Of course, the MASTER accents are the accents of the British Isles.  (Which I would consider separately from "foreign" accents.) Scottish accents, Irish, Welsh, and several of the high "RP" accents turn Americans into goo.  Thanks to the Beatles, a Liverpool accents works too.
Travel many millennia into the future, a la "The Time Machine" who is the Lordly Master of the Morlocks?  Jeremy Irons of course, complete with English accent.  I don't think Bob Hoskins was even considered.
Now, I am no expert.  But I don't think a Cockney works the same.  Nor does an Australian accent.  They have a certain frat party charm, but...
So my question is, is there a language in which those with an American accent have an unfair advantage?  I am thinking of Josephine Baker in Paris, David Hasselhoff in Germany.
