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

While catchy, I'm curious what the relevant forum members think of this.

If i would stumble across this i would probably wonder what language this is.
I would listen a while and thinking it is some badly recorded english song because there are some english words in it.
I would definetly not think that it is no language at all, wich would be a really abstract thought.


it was the best of times
it was the blurst of times

I do not think I am relevant, so it should not matter that I had to study this back when I was in college.

I always wondered this, actually. This actually makes sense of it.

Interesting, and pretty accurate just in terms of phonetics and stuff I think! At least as accurate as what any other group does when trying to replicate another language without having any idea how to actually speak it.

Surprisingly, I liked that a lot. And I've wondered about that too.
