At the time english songs were getting great popularity in Italy, Italian singer Adriano Celentano wanted to prove that italians would love everything that sounded remotely english, so he wrote this, proving his point since it was very successful. The reason why it sounds so good even if it's gibberish is because Celantano studied phonetics theory to compose this.

This song doesn't prove his point because it's legitimately awesome invalidating the hypothesis.

[@laur-unstagenameactuallyca1587]

wow that's awesome. I bet he also studied accents too. because he sings his phonetics in a certain accent (idk how to explain it) different from the students. his accent fits his role in the song in that plenty of singers singing rock had that accent and singing style back then

I was a barley an adult, from Wales when I heard this coming from the bars and discotheques of Holland and Belgium whilst on a coach tour with my parents and cousin from Gloucester in 1972. We were just about able to get in to the bars because we looked our age! We didn't have a clue what the song was about (obviously), I was an avid radio One listener (Obv') but it never got to the UK as far as I know! but with it's hypnotic beat and cool crowd sound it was like an instant arrow to the brain and heart. Was it the alcohol, the cute Dutch and Belgian girls on the dance floor with their Angora tops, the cool Continental culture or the music and floor lighting....probably all of the above. It goes to show that it doesn't matter what you say/sing as long as you sound confident! I will never forget the joy of dancing ( or just moving to the beat really) of this song and the welcome we received from the people Belgium and Holland so thank you and thank Adriano Celentano.

[@giobernard6136]

Non ho potuto leggere tutti i commenti e forse qualcuno potrebbe averlo già detto, ma il senso, il significato di questa canzone è qualcosa di molto semplice: negli anni 50- 60 noi giovani ragazzi iniziavamo a sentire le canzoni provenienti dall'Inghilterra e dagli Usa. Allora la maggior parte dei ragazzi terminando molto presto l'istruzione scolastica per andare a lavorare non parlava la lingua inglese, tanto meno la capiva, Però c'era un forte spirito di emulazione, e nei primi "complessini" (gruppi musicali) si cantava di riprodurre le canzoni provenienti dal mondo anglosassone imparandole direttamente dai dischi, che venivano per così dire replicati senza sapere cosa dicesse il testo. Insomma, si cantava una sorta di inglese maccheronico, poco dissimile dalla canzone di Celentano. Io penso che con questa canzone lui ricorda quel periodo in cui ci si improvvisava cantanti e musicisti presentandosi con nomi come I (the) Rock Boys.

I heard from a stroke patient once that this song is like being in the middle of a left brain stroke. You can recognize the sounds. You can recognize the language that correlates with the sounds. You could even repeat phoneme by phoneme exactly what was said. Yet still, with all that, you can't understand what the fuck is being said. I'll never make toast or use a curling iron while listening to this song. That would be too much.
