Prisencolinensinainciusol Asthma Pumps
This came 3rd in the Crumplbangers Gibberish Challenge set by Peggy_P – well the Total Gibberish version did, which has none of the Doobie Brothers vocals. Tom Johnston drawls so much it’s hard to work out what he’s saying half of the time anyway! Surprised no-one touched Adriano Celentano’s classic Prisencolinensinainciusol (fun fact: DJNoNo Fave…
