This Board Needs Tunes


Recommended Posts

I love the back story to this song.  In the seventies Italian singer Adriano Celentano was pissed that it seemed Italian kids would buy any record sung in English regardless of the quality of the song and they'd get to the top of the charts.  To prove his point he wrote and released "Prisencolinensinainciusol" which was in the style of a lot of American music released in Italy.  It sounds like it's being sung in English but is in fact complete gibberish.  It got to number one!  And it's a banger!!  And the performance is pretty groovy too!!

So that's her name!   And Armenian.   Suddenly clear why she looks like Serj Tankian 🤣   Unfortunately his real name, so I cannot post a tune.
