Prisencolinensinainciusol - an awesome song about how English sounds to non English speakers
Italian singer, songwriter, comedian, actor, and tv host Adriano Celentano wrote this amazing song in 1972. The video itself is pure eye candy, and
the words are what English sounds like to a non-native speaker, and they’re pure gibberish.
Celentano has stated that the song is about incommunicability in the modern age, and prisencolinensinainciusol is supposed to stand for “universal love.” Amazing.
"Prisencolinensinainciusol" is a song composed by Adriano Celentano, and performed by Celentano and his wife, singer/actress-turned-record producer Claudia Mori.
It was first released as a single on November 3, 1972, and later on his album Nostalrock. The lyrics are pure gibberish, often described as sounding like American English as heard by a non–English-speaker http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

Here's a version where someone has tried to put English words to the essentially meaningless lyrics, its good.
