Seeing this I'm reminded of the 1974 song called PRISENCOLINENSINAINCIUSOL from Adriano Celentano. :)
(begins at 1.26)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E77HpMMbDYc I do speak english as a second (third) language... if I don't concentrate or look at the video but hear it in the background and somebody asked me I would say they are speaking english.

Didn't know Celentano before this. Thanks so much. Gave my evening just the right amount of funky!

Celentano is wonderful! I don't even know where to start to describe the guy. He is a singer, a songwriter, an actor, a director... and lastly, I would also add, a poet (if you can understand Italian his lyrics are poetry). :)
