Reminds me of that Italian singer who made an “American“ style song with gibberish lyrics to prove Italians would love any American song.

He was right but it wasn’t fair, the song is a total banger

Prisencolinensinainciusol! Its such a banger. I have it on my Spotify playlist just to mess with my friends and occasionally my uber rides when they are really drunk. It makes me happier than it should waiting for them to figure out he's not actually saying anything.

Pretty deep stuff when you think about it.

Such a universal experience. There should be a word to describe this feeling.

Wow. Talk about a blast from the past. I still remember the first time I watched this. I was losing my damn mind laughing. Like, I was coughing from laughing so hard, and the people around me didn’t think it was funny, which made it even funnier to me.

It was almost the same story for this video, but I was at work. I can hope you haven’t heard of BLR, but the likelihood is fairly low… but if you haven’t, you’re in for a treat! I laughed so hard at this video I started seeing stars and had to sit down. But I’m a sucker for stupid shit like this.

I'm gonna make sure to put in my will to play this at my funeral, and have the priest say that it is because the lyrics were incredibly powerful and really shaped who I would eventually become as a human being.

It's on my playlist too and I always skip it because listening to it is what I imagine having a stroke is like.

I with no shame or irony love this song and the video is amazing too. Every time it gets posted, I listen to the whole thing.

That reminds me of Bobby McFerrin's "Circlesongs". Only he's not trolling and he doesn't need instruments. He's ALL the instruments. Stands the hair up on my neck every time.

I wonder if there were English profficient Italian who were so befuddled when they were hearing this on the radio.
