Video of the day -- nonsense song
In 1972, Italian pop singer Adriano Celentano responded to the popularity of English-language songs in Italy by releasing this song, with "lyrics" which were designed to sound like English but were actually meaningless gibberish. The imitation of the phonetic system and speech rhythms of American English is near-perfect, which is why you'll keep feeling like you should be able to understand it even though you can't. Pretty cool music video, too.

Excellent, LOL!
Awesome! Makes as much sense as some of the songs with words that I do understand :)
i love this so much!
Raffaella Carrá was such an icon! Italian pop singers usually sang also in Spanish and French and they sounded incredibly accurate in both.
XOXO
This was great fun.
I swear I almost understood all of it. LOL!
Oh my gosh! That's hilarious! He's certainly made it sound English.
Well done! I also love the horn section and the groovy flared jazz pants.
I never listen to the words of songs anyway. So that just sounded like a normal song to me.
Glad you all liked it! It's an odd and impressive achievement.
