Picture some skit on italian television that tries to parody a Broadway show, and has all the characters speaking and singing in incredibly mangled english. Wouldn't you be baffled, at least?
You might want to take an aspirin for that cough.
According to Wikipedia:
The song is deliberately meant to sound to its intended Italian audience like English spoken with an American accent.
The song was produced with the purpose of exposing Italian pop artists and musicians who were deceiving the public, pretending to speak/understand English lyrics and plagiarizing American and English songs, so this was a satirical parody to underscore the fact that those artists and musicians were not fluent in any form of English at all, and the Italian public would accept and popularize any song sounding like English, whether or not it was accurate.
Celentano's intention with the song was to explore communications barriers. "Ever since I started singing, I was very influenced by American music and everything Americans did. So at a certain point, because I like American slang — which, for a singer, is much easier to sing than Italian — I thought that I would write a song which would only have as its theme the inability to communicate. And to do this, I had to write a song where the lyrics didn't mean anything."
According to me, however, Adriano Celentano is a wanker and a boring "singer" who's been spouting the same political bullshit for the last 50 years.
The underlined part is to take the discussion back on topic, because Seth McFarlane is a wanker, too.
