Not a racist thing, I’m just very curious to hear what sounds come out. Maybe slightly racist if you want to get technical and militant, but I promise only in the name of fun and discovery.

    I know there’s a video floating around of an Italian (Maybe?) that wrote a song that sounds like English, but it’s actually just gibberish.

    Found it!

      Ironicly, this was a protest song by an Italian artist who was annoyed that the Italian charts were being flooded with English language songs. He wrote it to point out that English songs sounded like gibberish to Italian speakers. It ended up being a huge hit.

        That’s awesome. I’m guessing most people didn’t know the song was making a statement?

          I knew it was making a statement from the moment I first watched it.

          This is the first time I’ve ever understood what that statement was.

            I would imagine the 70s when I’m guessing this was new, it was heard on the radio more than any other medium.

      This just reminds me of the style of music my dad listens too. Never understood that either.
