The song is called Prisencolinensinainciusol, written by Italian artist Adriano Celentano in 1972. Recorded by Celentano and Claudia Mori in an American accent, it sounds like it should be English, but the lyrics are pure gibberish. Link -via Metafilter
Groovy tune though
In Italy I used to put this song in playlist for Funk/Seventies stuff. I sssure you this is a floorfiller, audience getting crazy to this.
Hey guys, consider this is from 1972, it can be considered a visionary anticipation of the Hip-Hop to come many years after. Nugget!

I was once at a disco in Finland near the Arctic circle and met this Finnish girl who could reproduce any accent while speaking nonsense (she only spoke Finnish). Her American and UK English accents were perfect while the meaning was gibberish. All her friends thought she was a legend and they were right.
Interesting to see a song around the idea.
Damn she was cute.
