Ever wonder what English sounds like to non-speakers?

Well, now you know:

This is Prisencolinensinainciusol (try saying that five times fast), a song by legendary Italian entertainer Adriano Celetano. The "lyrics" are actually incoherent jibberish intentionally made to sound like American English. It's really quite an earworm, despite being complete nonsense.

To me, it sounds like a cross between some generic Germanic language with a Southern American accent and Québécois French (what a strange combination, eh?), but that may just be the familiarity of those to my ear.
