The song Prisencolinensinainciusol, composed by Adriano Celentano, was first released in 1972. The song which is basically spoken in what sounds like an American accent, is actually pure gibberish, except for the words "all right".
Celentano, before the release of this song, had made music with a message about ecology and social issues. In writing Prisencolinensinainciusol, he said he wanted to make something that "meant nothing". However, he also said that the word Prisencolinensinainciusol, stood for "universal love" and the song was about incommunicability in the modern age. Go figure.
The song actually, sounds like you should understand what the singer is saying; however, as hard as you try, you just can't. Celentano was influenced, by his music hero, Elvis, and that hilarious comedian and actor, Jerry Lewis, which is obvious in the comic 1950's elements of Prisencolinensinainciusol.
As a little aside, Celentano's daughter Rosalinda Celentano played a very androgynous-looking Satan in Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. And Ian Dury and the Blockheads referenced Celentano, in their 1979 song "Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3".
Finnegans Wake, By James Joyce - the book is written using idiosyncratic language, consisting of a mixture of standard English and neologistic multilingual puns and portmanteau words.
