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

Yeah, this is pretty much one of the official Most Awesome Things Ever, no doubt about it. I was delighted to discover it, when it was first posted here a while back.

What does the female student ask? I can only catch the end of the sentence: "…una canzone con delle strane parole che non dicono niente."

Bless this double-post for its brief but welcome flicker of an existence. The original post introduced me to this song, which I proceeded to play at every party I went to for a year. (Universal hit.) It had just slipped out of my mind when I saw this, and now it's back again. A happy reminder.
Godspeed, little double! Do good work while you can!

Last time I listened to this it got stuck in my head for weeks, and that's not necessarily bad.
I should rip it and remix it, really.

107.8 BPM, approximately. What is that, a 4/8 or a straight 4/4?

Sys Rq, it's not a triple, the back beat makes it sound like it but it's an eighth followed by two sixteenths (or whatever). Loq, to my ear it sounds like 4/4 with the kick drum on the quarter.

Me too. I was like "that's not a triplet or triple time... that's like straight disco w/ a swing."
And thanks, I think it's just a straight 4/4. I already ripped a 4 note loop and the whole track so I'll know for sure when I open it in Live.
