The great Itlaian singer Adriano Celentano claimed that Italians would buy any music that sounded American. So he released this record which is complete gibberish but sounds American.
It was one of his biggest hits.

I swear that's Andrew Dice Clay.

This is a catchy tune. Who cares if it's gibberish?
Addrammelech
I think he's known more as a great actor rather than singer

Were there even lyrics? Or he just said whatever gibberish came to mind and matched the music every set?
SherMattLockSmith
It was lyrics that have no meaning but were constructed to sound english, so they would be the same every performance and not just made up.

https://youtu.be/Xn_OLnMriRg. I really like the update. Turns it into a banging dance hit.

Guy made up a song full of gibberish to poke fun at people. yea, but the song is fucking fire, though.
bigmuffin1
I was gonna say this sounds like an English guy if he was drunk.
ObviousPidgeon
When I first heard this song, I didn’t know any of the background a out it. It tripped my tiny brain right out.

Same dude!

This was a clever gimmick. But his "regular" music is pretty good too.

Oll raight!

Hey they played this in Fargo ?
ImprovedLoungewear
I seeded an absolutely epic playlist with this song on vacation once. Also, the harmonica player is his wife

Had to Google quick because part of me wasn't fully convinced that this was not in fact Sasha Baron Cohen in a new role.

Clearly people bought it because of those dynamite dance moves

I started listening before I read the description and thought I was having a stroke

You should try listening to somebody speak Welsh. Feels like having a stroke.

The first time I watched this, I couldn't figure out why I couldn't understand what he was saying.

that's the point. it's supposed to be english as it sounds to someone who doesn't speak it. 1/2
tobs3n89
it follows the phonological rules (which sounds where) of english, so your brain keeps trying to interpret it as english.

How on earth did he memorise the lyrics! Did he memorise the lyrics?
JoeGrunt
Given that he wrote the lyrics, memorizing his lyrics isn't that hard!
KingSwing
It's great, every performance is an original!
itsthevoiceman
Instead of lyrics, think of it as pieces of words. American English pronunciation can be broken up into syllables, then mixed together.
GrosseChung
Me when my anime intro keeps switching between English and Japanese
TheMadOnion
It's especially annoying when you kind of know just enough Japanese that occasionally the subtitles don't match up right....
Atomic2
Jrock with random english thrown in there. Im looking at you Pillows.

No wait, it's "I got iced by chance lads... allright"

Something something “and it doesn’t go with pizza, alright” also in the longer version theres “since my colored boss died.”
ArtOfKarolMichalec
"I got glazed by chance, lads", oh, soz, that was me Saturday
biglink2013
Since this became a hit, that means he had to sing gibberish correctly.
TCGView
He was still performing this song last time I checked. It's a huge hit in Europe.
WhyWhatWhereandWTF
Was pleasantly surprised to see it posted. He did this live for decades, hugely popular in Europe.

What are you talking about, this is a well known Bob Dylan song.

This comment completes me. Great writer. Garbage singer.
derschweiz
He had such a weird nasally voice but honestly the quality of his writing and the simplicity of his tunes made them great to sing along to.
Rookvlees
Glad for the caption. I thought that was the most busted Henry Winkler in the history of all Henry Winklers.
DanaConti5
That’s what brought me here
kamosey
Maybe if you translated the harmonica part.

Best comment here, bravo

With how popular Bob Dylan was/is I don't understand how it happened.

Eh, he’s a great lyricist but some also would argue he couldn’t carry a tune with a five gallon bucket

Mike Truk is close enough to the absolute legend Matt Turk.
