"This Italian parody of a 60s/70s pop song is sung entirely in gibberish designed to sound like American English. If you've ever wondered what other people think Americans sound like, this is it."
God I love the 70's.

I wouldn't be surprised if critics found that less upsetting than your outrageous use of one-word choruses.

So THAT'S what my students hear when they're listening to Michael Jackson.
