Prisencolinensinainciusol (with lyrics)

This was played in some UK clubs in 1974, years ahead of it's time, thought of as the first ever rap record. Very strange lyrics, feel free to sing along (if you can). This song is available on iTunes but only cover versions.

[Koshka42]

I'm obsessed with this song. Honestly it sounds like it could have been made last year.

[alanstarkie2001]

@Koshka42 I agree! The first time I heard it was 1974!!

I read in an interview by Celentano that the song is about how hard it is for people to communicate in the global community. His intention was for it to sound like American English from the perspective of someone who doesn't speak it. The word he coined, "prisencolinensinainciusol," is supposed to mean "universal love."

Confirm no Albanian in this song simply an Italian imitating english

When this song came out I was a little girl. Celentano is obsessed with rock'n'roll and yes, his "English" is no English at all. It is just "maccheronico" as the Italians call it. However, at the time this song came out, he was already an icon in Italy. This song was reproposed yesterday on TV 38 years after, the same way, and the impact was the same. Does sound like it was released only yesterday. Pity it uses that language: it would have been great in English though.

ok

@OlegoZee What a dumb comment.

[speedlly]

@Koshka42 now way! this is good music... no possible way people could make music like that in this time...

[TrinityTheOnly]

@jumpinxjack Do that! It's a great idea!!

[jumpinxjack]

I was thinking about entering the X-Factor, just for shits and giggles, and I was gonna do a cover of this song. You know, make it a bit more dramatic, make it faster in parts so that it kinda raps, change the music to make it sound more impressive. I think it would be schwiit, but I also don't want to ruin the song... I just think it would be fun to do! xD

@Housemaster

It's more a "pre-house" beat,

but if words were spelled faster it would be a rappin' thing for real
