English Lyrics, Italian Ears

celentano

What do English rock lyrics sound like to people who don’t speak English? Sort of like Italian Aerosmith, it turns out.

Italian songwriter, comedian and TV host Adriano Celentano wrote a song using gibberish to approximate English, and then filmed a trippy video for it. Bizarre doesn’t really cover it. You have to see it to believe it. Buon appetito!
