I love the guitar and drum groove in this song. It’s a weird tune, but also awesome.

I suspect that woman had never before seen a harmonica in her entire life.

It seems like the proper answer to this is “Tu vuò fa l’americano!”

“Prisencolinensinainciusol” is one of the best musical discoveries, for me, from BB!

@Rusty_Blazenhoff - you might have recognized Prisencolinensinainciusol - but I was singing along! How’s that for dedication?

Honestly though - I was probably more than a bit off on most of it:

Prisencolinensinainciusol
In de col men seivuan
Prisencolinensinainciusol ol rait

Uis de seim cius nau op de seim
Ol uait men in de colobos dai
Trrr ciak is e maind beghin de col
Bebi stei ye push yo oh

Uis de seim cius nau op de seim
Ol uoit men in de colobos dai
Not s de seim laikiu de promisdin
Iu nau in trabol lovgiai ciu gen

In do camo not cius no bai for lov so
Op op giast cam lau ue cam lov ai
Oping tu stei laik cius go mo men
Iu bicos tue men cold dobrei goris

Oh sandei
Ai ai smai sesler
Eni els so co uil piso ai
In de col men seivuan
Prisencolinensinainciusol ol rait

Ai ai smai senflecs
Eni go for doing peso ai
Prisencolinensinainciusol ol rait

Uel ai sint no ai giv de sint
Laik de cius nobodi oh gud taim lev feis go
Uis de seim et seim cius go no ben
Let de cius end kai for not de gai giast stei

Ai ai smai senflecs
Eni go for doing peso ai

Prisencolinensinainciusol ol rait

Lu nei si not sicidor
Ah es la bebi la dai big iour
Ai aismai senflecs
Eni go for doing peso ai
In de col mein seivuan
Prisencolinensinainciusol ol rait

Lu nei si not sicodor
Ah es la bebi la dai big iour

The Spanish language version of this would be by the non-Spanish-speaking Anders Nilsen, a Norwegian songwriter.

It was so fun to recognize it at the time (on Ted Lasso), and that made me remember when I was exposed to it on bOINGbOING!

ETA: Atlas Obscura delivers! Cory wrote about it here in 2010:
