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

Duplicate, but it sure is awesome.

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!

How did a search for "prisecolinensinenciousol" not find it? Oh well. Do with it as you will, mods.

Because it's
prisencolinensinainciusol
not
prisecolinensinenciousol

Didn't your spell-checker catch that?

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?
posted by loquacious at 10:33 PM on April 23, 2011


I'm pretty sure this is a triple, actually.

Why.

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.

AAAAAAND I just figured out AS I hit post that you meant "triple post" not "triple time." D'oh!

With "subtitles"!
Aww man, this is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while... is there ever a double post awesomeness exception?

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.
