From Wiki

"Prisencolinensinainciusol" is a song composed by Adriano Celentano, and performed by Celentano and Raffaella Carrà. It was first released as a single on November 3, 1972, and later on his album Nostalrock. The lyrics are pure gibberish, often described as sounding like American English as heard by a non–English-speaker.

Sounds like there saying allright!

Wow...this song is really quite old, although this particular version appears to be a newer mashup. It was originally released in 1972, and is indeed pure gibberish. The more I listen to it, the better I like it...even if it does only have one chord.

Little bits and pieces I found...the clearest blurb was at http://www.artandpopularculture.com/Prisencolinensinainciusol

While we have several different video versions (which led me to think this one's a mashup) best found at http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=1838
