@jewrocket Did you ever find it? It's by Adriano Celentano. All I'm seeing are covers, which all seem to suck. L. Ego isn't bad, but none of them come even close to this feel. Brilliant!
This is Adriano Celentano, a 60's italian singer. This song, Prisencolinensinainciusol, was published in 1972; the text has no sense but for the beat and vocal metric it could be the first world rap song, because the "The Sugarhill Gang" 's Rappers Delight is from 1973.
@Savage6s With respect, this is not Rock 'n Roll. R 'n R extended from around '53 to '63. But your point is valid. Even the British bands sang in American and American Southern dialect.
i was brought up listening to this stuff. sdriano celentano is a legend who made somewhat timeless music..... or atleast was way ahead of his time and experimental... love this song
@yakchirscarlson then you have understood everything about this song :) actually, it's all about the difficulty on human communications while world is getting faster and faster and faster every day
Saw this over a year ago and still think it would make the best flash mob ever - no matter where you do it, people would be sooooooo o_O???????!!!!! lol
@xTheLameOhx It does! Even for non-Italians. I'm not Italian and this is what it sounded like when I didn't speak it...when I was a kid :) lots of drawn out vowels, srong consonants with a beat and , well, just drawn out, kind of cowboyish.
My brain is making "freezing cold in essaninetuso (gotta certainly be a town in South Dakota)", pure genius..like, "Arocdnicg to rsceearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer are in the rghit pcale. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit pobelrm. Tihs is buseace the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."
I've always wondered what English sounds like to other people who cannot speak it. Now that I know, I can't stop laughing. This is freaking awesome!!!
It must sound pretty weird for english speaking people. For us Italians it would be like listening to Dan Peterson doing a basketball game commentary in Italian.
@PissBlaster2k People who refer to themselves as PISSBLASTER and use the outdated, uneducated taunt RETARD to demonstrate a racist and simpleminded, not to mention droll, thesis = Moron. If you're going to insult us, please use proper terminology.
What does English sound like to foreigners? This song actually is gibberish using English phonemes, so it helps you to hear English as a non-english-speaker would... sounds insane!! Now I know what I sound like to a non-English speaker.
What souvenirs this song ! Celentation is GIANT in his dance and special lyrics. He was the first singer to sing rap... in 1972 ! Pray send call in and see nine: choose all !
10 "dislikes" ???!!! How can anyone possibly dislike this? It's absolutely BRILLIANT and totally hilarious. Unless maybe you're pissed because you just can't get it out of your head.
This gives me a pretty good idea of what English sounds like to someone who doesnt speak it. It also gives me a pretty good idea that people in Italy apparently can't make any sense of an American music video o.O
The reason you guys can't understand it.... is because there is nothing to understand. It's all gibberish, there are no words in there, from any language.
in mexico we have this saying of american music, when you dont know english all the songs sound like washa-washa-washa its the washa-washa song again!
I heard this song when I was a kid - except, back then nothing seemed remarkable about it, since I didn't speak English and all English songs sounded like this :D
Even being utterly awesome on its own for being in nonsensical English, this song and video is completely timeless! The entire number looks like it could have been choreographed, produced, and shot today.
