When you're sober, you enjoy the music.
When you're high, you understand the lyrics.
I'm high and I'm even more confused.
I feel like if I were listening to this while high I would end up getting concerned that for some reason his words weren’t making any sense to me 😂
39 sec mark. When I sang the shoes
When you're high, you're confused yet entertained.
Only when you're tripping does this song make sense and then you see God.
When you transcend, you come up with your own.
Imagine hearing this while not sober and thinking you forgot English.
You might even sing it perfectly.
😅😅😅😅😅

Funny enough, he is speaking English, but only how it’s heard to non-English speakers.
Trying to convince my adult son to memorize the phonetic lyrics with me, then next time he visits we can play it, both sing along, and gaslight *my* mom that she's the only one who doesn't understand it lol
.... SI NARRA che la musica rap , hip pop.... sia nata in america.... e il primo pezzo sia circa del 1979....nel 1972 invece, in italia usciva una canzone di Adriano Celentano! ..... si tratta di Prisencolinensinainciusol (il primo esempio di rap della storia!), cantato in una lingua inventata simile a un grammelot che richiama l'inglese e gioca su suoni stereotipati di film e canzoni rock americane. Questo tipo di uso della parola, l'esprimersi in una lingua che chi ascolta non può conoscere, è conosciuto come glossolalia. Il brano tratta il tema dell'"incapacità di comunicare". In un intervista Adriano disse: A un certo punto, visto che amo lo slang americano - che per un cantante è più facile da cantare rispetto all'italiano - ho pensato di scrivere un brano che avrebbe avuto come tema solo quello dell'incapacità di comunicare. E per farlo ho dovuto scrivere una canzone in cui il testo non significava nulla". L'ho cantata con un tono arrabbiato perché il tema era importante. Ho messo in luce il fatto che la gente non comunica". etc etc ,
Thats so smart 😂

Many people consider Mohamed Ali's (then known as Cassius Clay) 1964 spoken word album to include the first rap song ('Sonny Liston').
Other say it was actually The Jubalaires 'Noah', released in 1944.
This Celentano song is brilliant and I love it, but it's far from being the first rap song.
@@eastvandb uh, i go search.
Quite possibly the best karaoke song ever written
He does not speak English but figured his fellow Italian countrymen would like anything with English words in it! He was right, as this was a huge hit in Italy!
That's almost evil 😂
😂😂
@@guyfawkesuThe1The only thing he proved is no one cares about lyrics if the music slaps.
Uh...I don't think anyone else can learn the song.

Underrated
Thank you for the laugh. I can see it now. 😂

Best comment I've read in a long time!!! 👏
🤣🤣🤣🤣well said!

omg lmfao
The ironic part of the storyof this song is that it went to the top 100 charts of almost every country... .
I think it reached number one in hungary

The woman playing the harmonica is Adriano's wife, Claudia Mori. They have been married since 1964 and are still together 61 years later!
Together? 😂he betrayed her often
Wow, I kinda thought she was Sofia Loren tbh
That's how you know they're not really Americans 🤭
Didn't she also sing some part of the song?
Beautiful woman. Claudia Mori
This video has answered my own personal existential crisis. What do I sound like to foreigners? This is amazing.
Edit: and I just found out he's still the second greatest selling musician in Italy.
My native language is Spanish and that is exactly how I hear English when I don't understand it.
@@nelsonmena8594when I hear Spanish and they say gringo I know they are talking about me. Or at least I think they are.
@@seanhannon1055as a Hispanic myself, if someone says ‘gringo’ and you’re white, 9 times out of 10 they’re definitely talking about you.
So, who's the first one?
This is how I used to hear English as a kid when I didn't understand it.
Gibberish and no chord changes. Brilliant.
And he made millions from it. It's really true what my high school music teachers told me: becoming a famous musician is a matter of luck.
He was pretty famous in Italy before this
As someone who used to listen to a lot of 1970s prog rock, I like these lyrics all right. 😊
@@incarnadinelifestylebut this is almost genius
@@incarnadinelifestyleThis is not luck, it’s talent
I know the whole song is gibberish but why does this feel like if I can squint my brain I could understand what he saying
It’s close line between a squint and a stroke
@ 😂💯
Woukd nqot recmnd bran squnt. I jst awayek at hsptlll.
_if I squint my brain_
Because there are a handful of English words sprinkled - intentionally or unintentionally - throughout the song. You, me, maybe, alright, people, baby, etc.
Evidently, when this song was first released, the Italian listeners thought it was English and the American listeners thought it was Italian.
What do Italian-Americans listeners think?
They're having troubles@@galileykwong7017

@@galileykwong7017 They understand it, this is how they talk
There needs to be more songs where the lyrics aren't comprehensible in any language. Even then, this song will always be KING.
Check out the Nier OST.
Sigur ros
Better than the current So Called Artists with the same message to their fans that’s regurgitated from the 70’s/ 80’s & 90’s!!! At least this was real Artistic Interpretation amongst us back then, long before XFactor & Britains/ Everwhere’s Got No Talent!!! 😉🥴🤫
Check out Tricky's song 'Beijing to Berlin', the whole thing is done in Missy Elliot-style hip-hop gibberish by the great Chinese rapper Ivy, banger
@@FabianMacGintyONeill Thank you!! Tricky's pretty cool, i dabbled with him via Bjork and Mark Fisher, and Ivy is well the name Ivy is sacred to me, and she lives up to it!!
If one person sounds like this, they may be having a stroke.
If everyone sounds like this, you may be having a stroke.
🤣🤣
It’s 2025 and this song is still a banger.
Fr
Was, is and always will be a banger
Absolutely!
This song slaps!
Absolutely iconic, utterly hilarious & highly intelligent….Not only Italy, but vast parts of continental Europe fell for this spoof…🤣🤙
Back then in the early 70s, almost no-one could speak English in most countries outside of the UK and Ireland…people everywhere simply liked the groove….
Btw - Celentano was a frequent guest on German and Austrian TV at that time, and he was even allowed to travel beyond the "Iron Curtain“ - he appeared in the Soviet Union, the ČSSR, Poland, etc. - he was like an unofficial ambassador of Italian culture.
Prisencolinensinainciusol works great when I have a cold. It clears up my nasal congestion in no time.
Lmao!!😂
My step dad had a stroke awhile back and although in his head, he knew what he was saying, when the words came out they sounded like this guy's song.
😓
Same thing happened to my step-dad. What makes matters worse was the fact that he's from India, and English is obviously not his first language. He would either be speaking complete gibberish or default back to Hindi. It took him a while to remember how to speak English again.
You may be cool, but you’ll never be as cool as this dude singing gibberish.
Perhaps after seeing this there is such a thing as too cool?
He used to be the coolest guy in Italy for decades, until he got old and started believing he could dispense wisdom and networks would allow him minutes of silence on national TV as he elaborated his thoughts before dispensing them. After a while most people got tired of the BS (still loving him as singer and even actor but let him stick to that).
that’s how it goes sometimes
Even the harmonica girl is too cool.
@@rawrshacktsu8623 That's the singer wife, Claudia Mori
May be gibberish, BUT, the best song to dance to 1973/74. Everyone got up to dance. Still love it over 50 years' later.
The power and influence of this song is that you can enjoy listening to it but cannot understand what is being said.
Ciao ! You can' t understand what he' s singing, because he' s pretending to sing in English: it' s a joke. But the sound Is fantastic and very actual. It' s a Song written in 1973 😊
He doesnt understand whats being said either lol, because its all gibberish, its brilliant
Einfach genial . Man versteht nichts und doch denkt man , man versteht was 😂
Adriano hat den ersten Rap erfunden 😍
I don't enjoy this song, but I understand every word. 😂
You mean like modern Rap? 🤔
My husband and I are also "freezing cold and dancing our shoes off, alright!"
Lol
😂😂😂
I read this comment while he sang the line, and it sounded exactly like what I was reading.

Erm actually, it’s prisencolinensinainciusol
Truer words have never been sung.
Played during intermission at Sunday at the 12-15-24 They Might Be Giant's concert in Boston...... Those guys always dig up the best oldies to share with thier audiences.....
greetings from Italy! I do love TMBG, and the guys had in incredible taste, for sure.
saw them in '83 or '84 at the cafeteria at University of AZ campus - excellent then & still excellent now
Aha, nice.
Man they're still touring, huh? Awesome
That date notation doesn't makes sense.
As true now as it was back then.
Amen!
This was released in 1972. This is the best peice of vintage music I’ve ever heard. It’s 52 years old. And so am I. I want this played at my funeral as everyone leaves. Fkn amazing.
No matter what language you speak, this sounds like a great song in a language you don’t speak.
I speak fluent gibberish and even I can't understand what he's saying. I love this song.
This is the most entertaining stroke Ive ever experienced
This is the most amazing thing I've ever witnessed in my 39 years on this earth
😆
He does not speak English but figured his fellow Italian countrymen would like anything with English words in it! He was right, as this was a huge hit in Italy!
It has anything to do with that to be real. He explained that in Italian in a longer video that music is universal so despite the words may mean nothing you can make music that is still loved by whoever. There were Italians that already knew Italian at that time too btw.
I read that it was a huge hit in other non-speaking countries too hehe
@@FrancescaMancuso Yeah. France, Germany, Belgium, etc. Basically other European countries that doesn't speak English.
Reminds me of Key and Peele's Funk song
He was a genius to put this out 😂 he was trolling everyone even before it was a thing 😂
Let’s be honest this song is better than most modern music and it’s bloody gibberish 😂
most of those girls dancing silly moves are now grandma ... i cant believe one of them is mine
A good chunk of them have probably passed away by now
The simplicity of the staging and choreography is really brilliant.
I’m in excruciating pain and this is helping to distract me. Thank you 😭
I thought it was from this!
@ Haha, no, I love this!
This is the best thing I’ve seen in 2025.
Enorme ballena nada entre bañistas sin que estos se percaten
LMAO! What makes you say that though fr?
@ just something fun and completely unexpected. Made me happy to see it.
Watching this with subtitles on 🍿
made me laugh
Imma try that now
You're a genius.
[Music] 😢
My captioning didn't say much for me.
"we stay shoes now bu in a whole May to b d" such inspiring words 😢😢😢
This should become the new Rick Roll 🤣
Heck yeah!
Maybe i can be the first to start lol
I've been rocking this for 21 years now. My deutsch teacher in school showed us and explained that it was how italians saw american music at the time. Still kills me when he says "and your color boss died"
Lol
This song just proves how cool the 70's really were. ✌️☮️✌️☮️
this is what you hear when you're building a tower to reach the heavens
i see what you did there... very clever my friend
Lol. Off topic, but in Estonia the Lutheran church just got a permit to build what's gonna be the new highest building in the country (an office building, purely to make money from their well located real estate). So we got lots of Babbel jokes going on rn. Especially because they are tearing down a cute historical building to do it.
Where were you? When they built a tower to heaven
well done, you have earned the internet for the day
If you are confused about this comment then you probably aren’t Christian or a new one! This is a joke about the Tower of Babel!! This is when different languages started because God told the poeple to spread out but they disobeyed and tried to build a tower to the heavens
He a iconic Italian singer and good actor .and very good dancer.
I find this so funny bc it’s suppose to sound like English, but as an English speaker, it’s so funny, but also really interesting to hear how people, who don’t speak English, hear the language
As a Spanish speaker, I'm agree.
For me as non-native speaker it's interesting to hear how I hear English as a kid before I learned it.
Isn't this English?
@@aianchik2873nope, it’s absolute gibberish. Native English speaker and it still kinda sounds like English to me lol
@Katiecat5037 it sounds like English to me (well, I do not know English, maybe that's why😂)
Just admiring the set design, really well made.
Once you understand the idea or motivation behind this song, you have to admit it is was brilliantly done!
Everything about this song , and video is just brilliant.
This song NEVER gets old! Even though I wasn't even born when this came out!
Love him or hate him, he's spitting facts.
It's a never heard before language, but the clip is fantastic! It stayed with me for weeks!!! I have seen it over 20 times now!!
It’s a made up language… means nothing
this is actually amazing brilliant guy. This is a musical art piece
Grande Adriano sei il più grande di tutti i tempi.....
I can't believe the backbeat of this song wasn't sampled in a rap or techno tune.
I agree, although it does remind me of Missy Elliott 's Gossip Folks, which samples Frankie Smith's Double Dutch Bus.
un genio! ! ..saludos desde Argentina
The other day I saw an edited photo that was meant to mimic what happens to your vision when you're having a stroke. It showed items in a setting that looked familiar, but none of the items or the setting itself was actually recognizable. You might see a book, but it melts into a chair that seems to be coming out of a wall, random stuff like that.
This song is an audio representation of that. Lmao
Complete gibberish yet it sounds like English. And completely without chord changes. Simply amazing for 1972, and even today.
This never gets old....
The funniest thing about this song is as a British person it actually sounds like American singing to me
Even an American its sounds like American English.
Woah… I’ve been trying to find a way to describe my audio processing disorder to people for ages and this sums it up so well.
it's the shoulders, the harmonica and sparse audience clapping during the conga that just really brings me to tears
Not gonna lie that jacket is AWESOME
O L R I T E

Translate to English:

I don't care what he is saying, but one thing is for sure, I have to learn his dance moves
The song unironically is a banger!
This is FANTASTIC!!!
Veder ballare Raffaella è uno spettacolo..e stiamo parlando del 1973!! Che canzone!!Qui Celentano si è superato!!
It sounds english enough to make my brain go in overdrive.
Geniale! ❤
This video is hysterical
I haven’t seen moves like that since “the wild and crazy guy” Steve Martin
I had to listen to this twice once high the second sober. Both times it made sense.
Evidence that the words don’t matter if it sounds good? Heck, how many times were you enjoying a song, until you understood the words?
I have a band whose music is great, but the lyrics to their songs can be…questionable at times. Was (Not Was).
Spy In the House of Love to be exact. Great music, lyrics are about stalking.
No wonder why Gangam dance was popular
Used to sing this back in 70's and did have a clue what it was but sounded cool and it was a laugh...
Now it all makes sense seeing this absolutely stunning video...Adrian was a master of rock n roll parody in my op...😅😅😅
How has Quentin Tarantino not used this song in any of his movies??
Iconic & Brilliant track .
The insane thing about this is the amount of work he put into making a song that sounded like it was in English but wasn't
There is no effort to be honest. Every Italian who jokes on English pronunciation can do that without any effort, even kids.
@LaviadiGesù I don't agree. To do it well, however, it takes some time. To be able to catch the English/American sound well but without using any real words is not so easy and few know how to do it well
Good production, Proyects like this always endure
Me encanta primera vez que la escucho
Excellente
Non puoi deluderci ormai ti aspettiamo da troppo tempo, non puoi deluderci ..
Fabuleux😮😮😮 quelle imagination, genial💡 Comment il a pu écrire une chanson avec des mots qui ne veulent rien dire😇😅. Quel génie!!!!
I need to sit here in slack-jawed wonder at this man's ability to simply BLUFF his way into the top of the charts while mocking everyone who enjoyed it. This is incredible. This is a level of smart-assery unmatched in musical history. And on top of that, even though the lyrics are complete nonsense, the melody itself is lovely. WHAT EVEN!
My brain loves this. It’s like drinking Absinthe in a warm bubble bath with the water continuously running and then tapping your toe to the beat of your own subconscious whirring in complete harmony with the ecstatic vibrations of your being. In other words: sick beat, bro.
My favorite lyric is: “Ide ba do did bao bayba ver Cho!” 🔥🔥🔥
I’ll always remember hearing this in Fargo season 3 still a banger!
When I first heard this, I had to go get screened for a stroke.
I just read about this song in a British newspaper. This song was a famous international hit released in 1972
Adriano torna abbiamo bisogno di te .
Il mondo e cambiato in peggio e diventato vuoto ma ci sono ancora persone che amano la pace e la tua purezza torna per noi e per gli stolti per me sei meglio del papà che nn si espone tu dici sempre quello che pensa nn usa mezze misure torna torna
If you don't translate this it sounds like the lyrics of the song.🤔
The mans outfit and the way he moves is gold
The perfect song to play late at the disco for foreigners
This is the most fun I’ve ever had dancing along to a video
He is speaking the language of gods.
2:39 a perfect depiction of JB speaking to his side of the isle and then believing every word!
ai could never replace this
This is exactly how I imagine the internal monologue of people who had a Stroke, sounds like.
capolavoro... futuristico...
this is so hypnotic ..........tune and the moves
It's the drum beat that makes the song
A coreografia é muito boa.
A música é excelente.
O cara é um gênio.
è sempre bella riascoltare ore 22.30
Favorite part when the girl comes out of nowhere with the harmonica solo, then cuts back to Adriano, getting down in front of the class.
