Prisenwhat?
I’m sure I’m a few years late to the party, but I just stumbled upon this video of Italian entertainer, Adriano Celetano performing a song called “Prisencolinensinainciusol”. The words are complete gibberish and mean nothing, but are meant to sound like what English sounds like to non-English speakers.
The song itself is quite the head bopper and toe tapper. The beat, the rap-like styled verses, and the dance routines offer no clue that the two video recordings that were combined to make this video were made in the early 70′s; long before Kanye West.
Enjoy!
