What American English sounds like to foreigners.

My husband found this last week and it's been stuck in my head since. A nice late 60s/early 70s clip. Nonsense with a sick groove.

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

That is a sick groove!

 

[ladyislingering]

I know, right? It's groovy!

I think it says something about Italy that this was actually a MASSIVE hit over there; practically anyone in that country who is old enough to remember the year 1970 probably remembers this.

I've had this stuck in my head since approximately August of 2009.
