Lol just listen better bro, LOL! Yeah, same here XD People always think I'm hard of hearing, when in reality I hear exceptionally well, I just can't UNDERSTAND what you are saying, especially when you say something I didn't expect you to say or there are too many other sounds arround. Also I hear really well in the worst way possible. I have a hard time ignoring stimuli, for example if a sweater is itchy, or I have a spot on my glasses, it NEVER blends in, I'm always aware of the itchiness of the sweater and the spot on the glasses. So if there is a sound that is annoying, which fits to 95% of all sounds made by humans or man made contraptions, I can't ignore it. I'm especially sensitive to very high or low pitched sounds, sounds you're only supposed to hear as a kid/teenager. If someone is running one of those ultrasound mole repellants for example I can hear it from a few hundred meters away, and if I get closer it even hurts my ears. Same with base sounds, I can "feel" them from very far away and if someone close to me listens to something base-y it's like the equivalent of someone using a jackhammer next to my face. I honestly wish I could be deaf for certain periods if times. The few times I can really relax is out in the wilderness or with 2 layers of voice cancelling ear plugs and those yellow construction worker thingies, but that also just takes a bit off the edges.
He made this to prove Italians would love anything that sounds English, but he forgot that he was gonna throw off the study by making a certified banger.
At the time english songs were getting great popularity in Italy, Italian singer Adriano Celentano wanted to prove that italians would love everything that sounded remotely english, so he wrote this, proving his point since it was very successful. The reason why it sounds so good even if it's gibberish is because Celantano studied phonetics theory to compose this.
wow that's awesome. I bet he also studied accents too. because he sings his phonetics in a certain accent (idk how to explain it) different from the students. his accent fits his role in the song in that plenty of singers singing rock had that accent and singing style back then
The first (and only) time I got high I smoked way too much and I was watching tv. Each word made sense but I couldn't figure out what sentences meant for the life of me. Considering that's the one thing I've always had a knack for, I was a very annoyed high person. Not understanding my native language was not my idea of a good time, lol! This video brings back memories. 😂

True story: I was deployed to the same airfield as a bunch of Aeronautica (Italian Air Force) guys, and they would come through our checkpoint all the time. Usually I'd greet them with some basic Italian ("Bon-JOORNO!") just to be friendly, but this one time, I decided to greet them with "Prisencolinensinainciusol!" Out of the four guys in that truck, three of them just gave me a funny look. The fourth guy, this old grey-haired colonel in the back seat, immediately busted out laughing. At least somebody got it!

Only it doesn't sound like this all the time. More like, groups of words (say 1 to 5) will randomly sound like this interspersed throughout a conversation. And you'll get distracted trying to guess what the hell you just heard whilst the conversation moves on, eh?
I used to hear this in a disco in the early seventies in Eastbourne, England, and loved it. I then spent about 40 years asking people if they knew a song about 99 Ousos and nobody knew what the hell I was talking about, and then I finally came across it on UA-cam about 10 years ago and everything became clear. Life is strange sometimes.
And he sounds and appears like he has classic American like swagger? I'm having a hard time finding the right word but it's like the American mannerisms
As a native American English speaker this is so spot on my brain swears there's real lyrics, but I can't piece them together or recall individual parts of the song.
Yeah, I showed up a few years ago for the weird pseudo-English but stayed for the funk. For more in this vein of Italo-disco funk, check out L’unica Chance, another Celentano song, it’s dope as hell.
Fun fact, its all gibberish, the guy who made this song knew italians liked english songs that they dont understand, so he made this song sound english
I am hearing it for the first time today and I already know I am going to drive my wife and kids nuts for how many times they are going to hear this in the coming months.
@@hamzzncheez354 OK - 2 weeks to the day. I have listened to it at least once a day every day. When I have to go somewhere in the car I listen to it again, with the windows down and the volume up.

I heard from a stroke patient once that this song is like being in the middle of a left brain stroke. You can recognize the sounds. You can recognize the language that correlates with the sounds. You could even repeat phoneme by phoneme exactly what was said. Yet still, with all that, you can't understand what the fuck is being said. I'll never make toast or use a curling iron while listening to this song. That would be too much.
What the hell lol!! This really is now one of my favorite comments of all time!! I'll think back to this comment when I'm a 90 year old man in my death bed 🛌 thats how good it is!!!
It's like a dream-sequence! You DON'T understand what they say, yet you understand the context. Afterwards you're asked about your dream and all you can say you were in classroom.. yet on a stage being taught something. Taught what? Who knows... It was a dream.
Unirocanilly this music reminds me of a teacher in my dreams trying to teach me aerodynamics. It made sense in the dream but as soon as I woke up I forgot about it all.
It is gibberish, but it is gibberish that was intended to sound like English, as opposed to sounding like Italian. Kind of the point of his experiment, to make it sound natural when it has no meaning, on the other hand we have so many songs in English that we misunderstand the lyrics of, the famous Hendrix line "excuse me while I kiss this guy" (the actual lyric is "while I kiss the sky") for instance.
In the 70s in Italy, the english music was widespread even if few understood the text, Celentano therefore created a catchy song that adapts to this phenomenon of incomprehensibility and is also extended it to those who speak English like you. Celentano is a fucking genius
@@mazzonepunitore this way of speaking "gibberish" that sounds like another language is called Grammelot and goes back to the Commedia dell'Arte. Celentano did not invent it. He probably copied if off Dario Fo who had already talked about Grammelot in Mistero Buffo in 1969 (shown on RAI around 1977). Dario Fo would turn in his grave. termcoord.eu/2019/08/the-language-of-dario-fo-an-outward-looking-reinvention/
“Prisencolinensinainciusol,” a 1972 song composed by legendary Italian entertainer Adriano Celentano and performed by him and his wife, Claudia Mori. The song’s lyrics sound phonetically like American English-or at least what many Italians hear when an American speaks-but are clearly total, utter, delightful nonsen
Paul Economon: I came upon an early version where he sings with Mori on a stage and down some steps. It is hilarious, but must have been taken off of UA-cam.

Thank you Instagram for this gem.
this is the audio version of those AI generated images that are of nothing but look vaguely like things
I was thinking this is the hearing version of those images
This deserves to be top comment.
Actually there are ai created audios that should continue songs. Never gonna give you up was one example :D for real it's no joke
I was literally JUST thinking of that before I saw this comment
this comment is so accurate hahaha
When he said "haladubinulagunpa" i felt that
True, but "wedeseintheshoesnowilhondesineseholobadang" though? BARS
😂😂😂😂😂 👍
Yes but when he goes “helsoabcdasovsiencpddnudoonswowydba”
Just shook me!

True story: I was deployed to the same airfield as a bunch of Aeronautica (Italian Air Force) guys, and they would come through our checkpoint all the time. Usually I'd greet them with some basic Italian ("Bon-JOORNO!") just to be friendly, but this one time, I decided to greet them with "Prisencolinensinainciusol!" Out of the four guys in that truck, three of them just gave me a funny look. The fourth guy, this old grey-haired colonel in the back seat, immediately busted out laughing. At least somebody got it!
Brilliant
Hah! That’s awesome
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Amazing

What a great hit 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Lyrics:
Freezin' cold in ensy Nancy eusol
To the cold maid say one, freezin' cold in ensy Nancy eusol, alright!
With the sainted shoes now,
and a whole Billy'd seen,
a core red maybe, and a color boss dine
Rrrrrr chickens in back Mikita coal, baby sustain yeah blue Joe-oh
With the sainted shoes now, a whole Billy'd seen, a core red maybe and a color boss dine
Whether it's the same man, can you copy his dean,
you never charmed a judgin' crowd of beavers to jam.
You da comin' up choosin' a thang, not sure humpa humpa, just gettin' long cover no thang!
All my differences stand, like the shoes of Cobra Man,
human constitution might cause it to rain a girls
I hope, someday
Aye aye my segway, and we also go in 'Biza, eyes
To the cold men say one, freezin' cold, an asinine Jewzone, alright!
Aye aye, my sandless, and he also go Ibiza, eyes
Freezin' cold, an asinine Jewzone, alright!
Well as you're all sleepin' I'm beginnin' to see the land choosin' umpa dump,
Got dang, let phrasing go
We've been seein' in the same and the shoes all come in bales
As there's two hundred cars, and the bull would to glide a state
Aye ice, my chancelet, in the hills to go Ibiza, eyes
You the coldest man to say one,
Freezin' cold, an asinine Jewzone, alright!
You da Hessian a Billajiki, call 'em and down, you beaver tonight and you like big feet corn
Aye Aye my segway
We also go Ibiza, eyes
You the coldest man to say one,

You da Hessian a Billajiki, call 'em and know, let's beaver up that, I like trickin' y'all

Fun fact, if English is your first language, this is also a good depiction of what audio processing disorder feels like
Only it doesn't sound like this all the time. More like, groups of words (say 1 to 5) will randomly sound like this interspersed throughout a conversation. And you'll get distracted trying to guess what the hell you just heard whilst the conversation moves on, eh?
I wonder if I have an audio processing disorder. Most English pop songs sound like this to me.
this is my girlfriend's daily reality.
kattastic9999 Fun Fact it sounds amazing
Lorenyth I also thought I was supposed to be able to understand this but I read the comments
I used to hear this in a disco in the early seventies in Eastbourne, England, and loved it. I then spent about 40 years asking people if they knew a song about 99 Ousos and nobody knew what the hell I was talking about, and then I finally came across it on UA-cam about 10 years ago and everything became clear. Life is strange sometimes.
Love this story
Life really is strange, because I'm from Eastbourne 😂 Never expect to see my hometown mentioned and especially not here!
Gold.🤣
Spent 2 years of my life in eastbourne. Great memories
Me too Martin!! Love it x
Those lyrics saved my life

The free-est freestyle.
Prisencolinensinainciusol sounds like something bizarre youd find in a pharmacy
Or an obscure vocaloid song only found by weeks of listening.
it lowkey sounds like something that an antivaxxer would put on a list of made up vaccine ingredients
It sounds like a medication. I'm pretty sure it's a very powerful steroid that's used in people with severe respiratory disorders.

I am hearing it for the first time today and I already know I am going to drive my wife and kids nuts for how many times they are going to hear this in the coming months.
Tell us they love it?!
He's coming back guys. He's gonna tell about how they loved it 😢
@@hamzzncheez354 OK - 2 weeks to the day. I have listened to it at least once a day every day. When I have to go somewhere in the car I listen to it again, with the windows down and the volume up. I want to share it with everyone else at the stoplight. I have a fantasy that someone is going to lean out their window and say hey man what is that and I tell them the story
I have also added it to my public UA-cam playlist of great 70s and 80s songs right at the top of the list.
My wife likes it a lot and more so when I told her the backstory. In truth though I have been limiting her exposure, trying to ease into it.
She texted me from work the other day and all she said was - what's the name of that song. I smiled because she was obviously telling someone else about it and wanted to share it - so mission accomplished.
My adult son said that its becoming a little bit like the Baby Shark phenomena that happened a few years ago - I told him to shut his mouth as this is going to happen either way so you might as well get onboard.
My adult daughter has not commented yet but again she may not have heard it as much yet - time will tell.

I heard from a stroke patient once that this song is like being in the middle of a left brain stroke. You can recognize the sounds. You can recognize the language that correlates with the sounds. You could even repeat phoneme by phoneme exactly what was said. Yet still, with all that, you can't understand what the fuck is being said.
I'll never make toast or use a curling iron while listening to this song. That would be too much.
Lmao
Why those things specifically?

I was trying to remember the name of this song, but rather searched "italian guy sing in English but actually not"... it worked, was the first result.
I searched for Italian fake English song :)
I looked up American sounding song
I looked up "italian nonsense song", found it right away
Mine was even lazier. I searched for "Italian all right song" and this was the top pick.
For me was "FRENCH music that sounds like english"
Yes. French

The amazing thing about this song which was a massive hit in Italy in the 70’s is that it is total gibberish, the words mean nothing!!
It's like a dream-sequence! You DON'T understand what they say, yet you understand the context. Afterwards you're asked about your dream and all you can say you were in classroom.. yet on a stage being taught something.
Taught what? Who knows... It was a dream.
At some point the teacher called me up to say something, and I did, and he really liked it. At the end I played the harmonica and everyone danced away
I hear what is said to me in dreams
Unirocanilly this music reminds me of a teacher in my dreams trying to teach me aerodynamics. It made sense in the dream but as soon as I woke up I forgot about it all.
How to dance with much pelvis movement like a fucking legend?
When you see words in your dream

Try Italians less than 20 years ago... Many of us have made up English lyrics well after them becoming available on the internet... Some still do
@@dehro for example AINOUANAUEI
@@lyricrogersofficial it's scary that I know what song this is...
@@dehro what song is it
It sounds so natural to my ear even though I can't understand anything. So weird
It is gibberish, but it is gibberish that was intended to sound like English, as opposed to sounding like Italian. Kind of the point of his experiment, to make it sound natural when it has no meaning, on the other hand we have so many songs in English that we misunderstand the lyrics of, the famous Hendrix line "excuse me while I kiss this guy" (the actual lyric is "while I kiss the sky") for instance.
In the 70s in Italy, the english music was widespread even if few understood the text, Celentano therefore created a catchy song that adapts to this phenomenon of incomprehensibility and is also extended it to those who speak English like you. Celentano is a fucking genius
Just like my wife talking to me about shit that I need to do...
Yes! It’s like I understand it I dont
@@mazzonepunitore this way of speaking "gibberish" that sounds like another language is called Grammelot and goes back to the Commedia dell'Arte. Celentano did not invent it. He probably copied if off Dario Fo who had already talked about Grammelot in Mistero Buffo in 1969 (shown on RAI around 1977). Dario Fo would turn in his grave. termcoord.eu/2019/08/the-language-of-dario-fo-an-outward-looking-reinvention/

“Prisencolinensinainciusol,” a 1972 song composed by legendary Italian entertainer Adriano Celentano and performed by him and his wife, Claudia Mori. The song’s lyrics sound phonetically like American English-or at least what many Italians hear when an American speaks-but are clearly total, utter, delightful nonsen
