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)

From what you wrote, it's something like . I'm not sure where the stresses are, if that's important. Otherwise someone could just post that. --65.34.193.54 (talk) 01:11, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Well someone ought to put an external link to the video at Youtube, found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZXcRqFmFa8 . At the beginning, it actually says "Prisencol..." or whatever, so maybe someone could write an IPA pronunciation for that. IOA94 (talk) 17:12, 20 November 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)

First rap song

Therefore, this should be recognized as the first rap song.Dogru144 (talk) 03:47, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

The first rap may be "meykhana" --2001:A98:C060:80:E9CE:6C12:2BD7:618A (talk) 11:12, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

re: Chinese poetry anthologies

Hi, Prisencolinensinainciusol, scope of article problematic. Ironically, my adjustment expands scope. On the other hand, inherent lack of editorial interest (present company excluded) will probably keep list fairly short. Cheers, Dcattell (talk) 09:01, 3 July 2014 (UTC) PS Please add more.
