This shows how my dad’s generation, who didn’t know English but still enjoyed American music, would only “imitate” the sounds they heard, without knowing the language. My dad, who played in a band in the Seventies, still laughs at it! And as you also said, Celentano had a provocative intent when writing the song. Thank you, very interesting!

You’re a brilliant interpreter with great insight. The first time I heard this song I fell in love with it because the lyrics are so baroque and alien (like me). It took several days for me to puzzle out enunciation of the very title, having researched the history of the song and the artist. Learning the lyrics was a nonstarter until now. Thank you so much Elika!

Dirty badass groove this song has... the song was way ahead of its time - it really doesn't sound like something from the 70's. The initial analysis is spot on really, he was trying to sound like how Bob Dylan and other similar artists of the time sounded to him. He has said in the past it's about "universal love". I feel if we all transcribed how the gobbledegook lyrics sound like to us - we'd all come out with something wildly different, there are some pretty funny ones out there. Everyone should hear this song.

[@pieceofshitzu2]

A lot of Euro late 60s/70s music sounds like this. Look up french yeye for more clarification

[@FlaxeMusic]

It sounds exactly like something from the 70's, how do you figure that it's ahead of its time?

[@smackeye]

@@FlaxeMusic To me it doesn't sound anything like any other 70's music I know of, especially 72 when this was from. If you think it does then fair play to you, but to me it doesn't.

Have you seen the black and white dancing video they also made of this song? The "marching discotheque" vibe of that one really brings that slightly terrifying feeling you mentioned to the forefront. I want to go around using "Eyes." as a self-contained statement now because of this song.

[@lander-landed]

i have many times yes!! youre so right, the black and white one is much more unsettling. something about the lipsyncing feels so off too haha. also you should totally use "eyes" - some friends and i have adopted it as a self-contained statement and its sooo good. we also like to swap out similar words (like "eggs") but said in the same way as "eyes" and it really works for us haha

[@kirengelhardt3707]

​@@lander-landed Iʻve also been practicing that magnificently extended tongue roll for certain occasions. The thing I like about the black and white video (which was how I first heard this song) is the dancing is *so* stiff, so choreographed to within an inch of its life, but everyone on screen is throwing absolutely EVERYTHING they have into that performance. That thing she does with her arms after her solo, in particular. If I had not known the age of this video, my first instinct would have been to consider it a commentary on the quality of education in the US currently. He would not be so terribly out of place here talking to students that way, especially in Texas.

Great translation and interpretation! I’m a 59yo Italian living in AU for the last 30 years and remember this video with great fondness, very catchy tune. I’d like to add that Celentano is a very unusual but very likeable character and a very accomplished actor having made a few Italian movies most of them comedy.

[@standard888]

I think your narrative is totally plausible! I think that's probably the thing that makes us most human: finding meaning and creating a story to understand something. Plus this is kind of how I pretended I could speak Spanish when I was 3, living in Arizona with lots of Spanish around us but none in our home. Good job!
