Adriano Celetano - Prisencolinensinainciusol

[MrToonfish]

No one will be able to remove something that I think for a long time... At this time, back in the seventies and later on in the eighties... Guys invented "music" ! They were not afraid to do something even it may seems ridiculous to us today and that's why now music isn't funny anymore, at least not as funny as it was in those times ! And, finally, I am not an "has been" musician at all ! ;-) Cheers, Eric.

[carletto80s]

Lui ha inventato il Rap!Adriano n#1

[The96Dreamer]

Prisencolinensinainciusol...al­right :D that's so funny ;))

[Yamagary]

[Netalula0707]

It actually kinda sounds like English. Weird...

[justanotherrolly]

@Netalula0707 he wrote this song to sound like how english sounds to non english speaking people!

[eaSyXchiLL]

Italians are so fascinating. A lot of Americans sound like this, no doubt.

[Uwirubi]

One of the best songs and best videos and best tracks EVER !!!

[nahpoli]

The girl that stands and signs is an actress, she was in such movies as "Oscar" "Flash Gordon" etc

[astraiiia]

@nahpoli ha, nope that is not Ornella Muti which is the actress from Oscar and Flash Gordon. I don't know who that is but it's not Ornella.

And yes, American-English sounds like this y'all, and not just to Italians. I remember as a kid this is what it sounded like.

[GSADV12]

@nahpoli she's Claudia Mori, his wife ;)

[nahpoli]

@GSADV12 yes that is his wifes name but the girl Im talking about is Ornella Muti!

[FishWRabies]

[MTGandP]

Is there a translation for the Italian part at the beginning?

[piterstanga]

@MTGandP Girl: sorry, why have you write a song with meaningless words?

Celentano: who?

G: you!

C:well;Where's the camera?ok. i understand that in the world there isn't a good communication, there is only a sad gaze. so i've wanted do this song on the theme of incommunicableness, we don't communicate, we are incom(like an old ita tv news)

G: thanks

C: no, please, stand up i've not finished yet, i develop this theme on the word Prisencolinensinainciusol that meaning universal love.....

[piterstanga]

@MTGandP 1:16 ....so if you want tell (but there is nobody, i'm the only one) your love to someone you can only say Prisencolinensinainciusol...

This is one of my favourite things and I have no idea why

[Jessi181]

They're speaking italian at the beginning, right? Can someone please tell me what they're saying?

[powerpier]

@Jessi181

In the begginning Celentano explains to the students why he wrotes a song that is completely senseless, with all words invented.."similar" to english but sounds just similar (you probably knew it :D )

He said that wrotes this song because in that period, there wasn't communication between people and so with that song he developed the topic of the incommunicableness.

He said moreover that the title of the song (Prisencolinensinainciusol) means "universal love"

sorry for my english :P

[Jessi181]

@powerpier that's so cool! Thank you! :)

[SVPROJECT1980]

1 MITO UNICOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[TattooLost]

My mom was in the army way back in the 70's and was stationed in Italy for awhile. She said everyone would dance in the discos and sing American songs, but not understand a word of it. Just mimic the sounds they heard.

[MrLETIZIA62]

Ha proprio ragione Celentano c'era poca comunicatività già a quell'epoca. Adesso che sia nel 2011 il problema si è molto accentuato. E' una canzone che sembra scritta adesso.

[anny84ify]

Student: "listen professor "- Adriano: "tell me" - Student: "Why write a song with some strange words that don't mean nothing?" - Adriano: "Who? " - Student: "you" - Adriano: "so, do you know girl...." and then he goes on with the explanation of the song... exhilarant!!!! :-D

[Marisol1989able]

What an excellent song!!!! I love it.........

[wallabeetles]

Somebody have the lyrics? I can't understand what he is saying. He doesn't enunciate enough xDD

[biagiobiagio67]

[macherat]

The dancing, the costumes, the sound are so 2011, yet this was filmed almost forty years ago. Makes me happy all over.

[StevesAccomplice]

@macherat How is ANYTHING about this video "so 2011"?

[stevinie7free]

@StevesAccomplice It makes no sense.

[alphardxyz]

From 1:02

Teacher: No, stand up please, I haven't finished to speak. And... I was telling that I wanted to develop the topic of the incommunicability leaving as reference only a word, that is just prisencolinensinainciusol, that means "universal love". So, if you want to make a love deed... to someone.... (nobody is left, there is only me)... you just have to say "prisencolinensinainciusol"...­. and... everything... sit down please. Now, i want to see if you are prepared on this thing." Ecc.ecc.

C'est un bon souvenir de mon adolescence cette chanson

[MrTranquillo975]

grande Adriano

[raulox71]

Aquí se parece mucho a Emilio Aragón.

[getyourownjoyseph]

Also, I read somewhere that, although his wife sang on the track, she did not appear in the music video.  They hired a model to lipsync.

[Rathiusr]

@getyourownjoyseph Actually, the girl who appears in this vid is his wife. The lip sync comes from the blond in the black and white version.

[alixbiffi]

@getyourownjoyseph

No, his wife appears, she's the brunette who stands up and sings

[getyourownjoyseph]

LOL dance moves!

[Onlymusical]

The brunette who sings is his wife. I'd love to see the rest of this!

[nycsongs]

Who is the beautiful women who stands up and lip syncs the female vocal near the end? She must've been some celebrity doing a cameo; she got a round of applause when she stood up.

[UOMOFUNGHI]

@nycsongs She is Claudia Mori. celentano's wife

[nycsongs]

I wish it didn't stop in the middle. :(

[ReverendVW]

I'm in aww at this, absolutely timeless, at first I thouht it was a retro, bu didn't realize it was so old....fantastic....

[carlosca89]

@almostthefirst no, he's calling for Barbara Stresa. just a random italian name

[Patsy34000]

la jeune fille dit: - SVP, Professeur, pourquoi vous avez écrit une chanson avec des mots que personne ne comprend?

--Mais qui dit ça?.

--La fille: Moi

--Le maître dit: - parce qu'aujourd'hui dans le monde nous ne comprenons pas les uns les autres. Avec cette chanson, je veux montrer l'incommunicabilité. "

Il se réfère ironiquement sur le fait que de nombreux Italiens écoutent de la musique en anglais sans la comprendre! Donc la chanson sonne parfaitement anglais!

[mvr80]

jaja funny and they have a point...I wish I could speak every single language perfectly!!!
