I feel like your grandma, sending you viral videos a month or two after everybody else has gotten sick of them... But I hadn't experienced the wonder of Prisencolinensinainciuso until now, and if you've also been missing out this is a situation you must correct right now. It's a kind of proto-hip-hop glam rock thing with a beat like a freight train to Funkytown, sung in a made-up language that keeps almost turning into English without quite getting there. (There are moments when I could swear he's singing about shoes in a colorful style, but... No, probably not.)
If I didn't have errands to run, I could spend all day watching this Italian dude with a spectacular combover strut around like Mick Jagger in his prime while he hollers nonsense to a bunch of bouncy, 30-year-old schoolgirls.

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?
Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
