Of course its not English! The Italian singer and comedian, Adriano Celentano, invented this language, made of words with no sense or meaning - complete gibberish - but sounding like English* as a leg-pull about non-English speaking people singing along to English pop songs. He was mocking the increasing amount of English songs being played in Italy back in the 1970s when very few Italians spoke or understood English yet they listened to the songs and sang along.

*Hmmm. Sounds like some politicians we all know!
