There’s an entire genre from the 80s called Italo Disco that contains unintelligible English lyrics. It’s very charming in a way (and is excellent music to listen to while programming).
- skrebbel 9y agoEhh that's true, but it's not the definition of Italo Disco. Most Italo can be understood just fine.
- kabes 9y agoItalo disco is currently having a small revival in some techno acts like Bicep.
- confounded 9y agoStrongly agree. A personal favorite: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zDV_dBYp4h0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zDV_dBYp4h0 “Oh! What you’re gonna be!?”
- n3t 9y agoThanks for sharing! Have you got more of these? I'd appreciate recommendation of artists/songs to check out.
- dennisvennink 9y agoThe first advice I always give people that are trying to get into Italo is to check out Flemming Dalum's mixes: https://soundcloud.com/flemming/sets/flemming-dalum-mixes https://soundcloud.com/flemming/sets/flemming-dalum-mixes
- thbanh 9y agoI'm discovering this. That's excellent ! Do you have other suggestions ?
- dennisvennink 9y agoClassic! Some of my personal favourite, unintelligible Italo tracks: Sensitive - Driving: https://youtu.be/Qprd11nRO7c https://youtu.be/Qprd11nRO7c Alex Valentini - Beautiful Life: https://youtu.be/-CbtAaPPLAg https://youtu.be/-CbtAaPPLAg Fockewulf 190 - Gitano: https://youtu.be/kto_Yi0Bec4 https://youtu.be/kto_Yi0Bec4
- JasonFruit 9y agoCompletely unrelated: the Focke-Wulf 190 was one of the most beautiful aircraft of all time.
- danielbln 9y agoLove this track! Thanks for sharing it.
- paulsmal 9y agoTrue for me, steady rhythm of Italo disco keeps me focused
- tuomosipola 9y agoGot me through the last crunch of my dissertation. One weekend with italo disco and liters of Earl Grey tea.
- twic 9y agoUnintelligible lyrics aren't a necessary part of Italo, though; it's just that they were sometimes written by people who didn't speak English terribly well, and cared more about making something people could dance to. Nonetheless, i have upvoted your comment, as Italo is the third best genre of music, and deserves to be more widely appreciated.
