“Prisencolinensinainciusol”

Performance by Raffaella Carrà & Adriano Celentano on Radiotelevisione italiana, 1974

[aj-lenoire]

for anyone interested, the music playing during the montage of zava winning all the games is called prisencolinensinainciusol, a song noteworthy for having lyrics that sound like english, but are just gibberish. the ‘words’ are actually nonsense syllables carefully arranged to sound like english to non-english speakers, which i think is pretty interesting from a meta perspective—everything seems like it’s going according to plan, but in actuality ted (and to an extent some others, like jaime, colin and roy) is flailing

Lots of language talk on my dash today, so I think it's time for "Prisencolinensinainciusol."

One of the greatest songs ever written was made by Adriano Celentano who saw how popular music in English was in Italy, thought the Italian public would just enjoy anything that sounded remotely English, and decided to study phonetics theory to create gibberish lyrics for this fucking banger that includes a wicked organ vamp, himself rapping, and a sick harmonica solo

And did he prove his point? Yes.

(regarding the synesthesia post) what does the prisencolinensinainciusol song look like? i’m kinda curious since it’s your blog name lol

Oh that’s a great question. The thing is, I just recently found out , so all throughout my life I’ve just kinda tuned it out. I’ll have to go back and listen to it again and piece it together!!

Just blasting nonsense into my ADHD-addled brain until it's smooth as a river pebble.
