Quote
Do we really need the quote from Cory Doctorow? It adds nothing to the entry, and in fact simply repeats what is said in the previous sentence? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.193.88.167 (talk) 4 January 2010
Accents
On the Discogs pages (for example this one, the title of the song has accents on some of the letters. Should these be added to the title in the article? JaffaCakeLover (talk) 22:00, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Pronunciation
It might be helpful to specify the pronunciation of the song (Preez-en-colin-en-sin-en-cyew-zole). Could someone who can write in phonetics add that? 70.36.139.219 (talk) 20:56, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Literally "Pure" Gibberish?
Was it actually "pure" gibberish? How can we know that it was actually anything close to "pure" gibberish? 182.239.147.250 (talk) 17:23, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- You're right - it isn't "pure" gibberish. It was actually modelled after English, in order to illustrate TO English speakers what English sounds like to native Italians who don't know it. It's quite an interesting piece of work. IOA94 (talk) 23:28, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
- It is a caricature of what English sounds like; it was not “modelled” after English. There's a big difference and it's noticeable. mcornelius (talk) 14:48, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
Was this before or after rap?
Did it precede rap music or was it a parody of rap music? -- megA (talk) 00:14, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
- I think the release date of 1972 should tell you something. 128.61.29.113 (talk) 20:07, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
