Prisecolinensinenciousol, a parody by Adriano Celentano for the Italian TV programme Mileluci is sung entirely in gibberish designed to sound like American English.

    This is such a profound song. Luckily I'm American, so I can understand it.

    It is all gibberish! All of it! This is how English sounds like to them. Gibberish. So they sing gibberish that almost sounds English, but it isn't.
