not to sound like an immortal but 1925 should NOT be 100 years ago next year. wtf. that's the year Buster Keaton's "Seven Chances" and "Go West", Charlie Chaplin's "Gold Rush", AND Harold Lloyd's "the Freshman" came out. When you say "100 year old film" I'm thinking about those "moving pictures" that were essentially postcard illustrations projected onto the silver screen. But you're trying to tell me Sherlock Jr., a movie with a solid plot, interesting cinematography, and PEAK comedic timing is a century old??? shut up stop lying to me.

everyone's always like "oh, what kind of caveman still has music files in this day and age? just use a streaming service like everyone else!" but does any commercial streaming service have the demo tracks from a never-produced musical that i ripped off the composer's website in 2007 using one of those programs that records your soundcard output? no! they do not! therefore they're useless to me

Never heard of it. Please tell me more
There is not a single word in this song. There is no language or listener to whom it makes sense.
The context behind this song is amazing. Basically, at the time Italy was going through a big interest in American rock-and-roll music (sort of like a Kpop craze).
Enter Adriano Celentano: a top Italian rockstar. Effortlessly talented, deservedly popular, and extremely funny. Celentano decides to use his talent for evil. He composes a kind of a parody: a song that mimics English but is entirely gobbledegook, improvised to such an earworm you will find yourself humming it while doing laundry 5 years from now.
He performs it on Italian TV. It's an instant hit. Tops all the charts in Italy. And France. And Germany. And Belgium. Everyone goes nuts. It's a great comedy of American rock-and-roll. And of music itself.
"I like American slang — which, for a singer, is much easier to sing than Italian — I thought that I would write a song which would only have as its theme the inability to communicate. And to do this, I had to write a song where the lyrics didn't mean anything." -- Celentano, age 74
