"Prisencólinensináincıúsolı" is a song composed by the Italian singer Adriano Celentano, and performed by Celentano and his wife Claudia Mori. Both the name of the song and its lyrics are gibberish, but are intended to sound like English in an American accent.
Celentano's intention with the song was not to create a humorous novelty song but to explore communication barriers. The intent was to demonstrate how English sounds to people who do not understand the language proficiently. "Ever since I started singing, I was very influenced by American music and everything Americans did. So at a certain point, because I like American slang—which, for a singer, is much easier to sing than Italian—I thought that I would write a song which would only have as its theme the inability to communicate. And to do this, I had to write a song where the lyrics didn't mean anything". He also took inspiration from the myth of the Tower of Babel.[6]
