Imagine visiting a mental hospital and you see an schizophrenic italian guy with crazy hair in a straight jacket rapping while his funko pop version of himself is yodeling and flying around
@@Concavinator I'm just imagining a tiny little person, like 6 inches tall, screaming in a shrill voice and running around incredibly fast in circles like a disoriented bug. It's very funny
If you wanna know something more... This song is from the album "Verità supposte", released in 2003, the album that made Caparezza famous here in Italy especially beacuse of the song "Fuori dal tunnel" which was a pretty huge success. "Verità supposte" is mainly about italian society and its problems at the time (there are songs about stereotypes, war, racism, the music industry, trash TV, but also more personal ones), but this song (Jodellavitanonhocapitouncazzo) is, as you probably can understand even without knowing the lyrics, a pretty humourous and silly cut on the album although what he's saying still has a meaning. In the CD booklet it is described as a "track that contradicts all the previous tracks" (it's the last song in the album). The singer, Caparezza ("curly head"), writes all his lyrics and also produces most of his songs. He is known here in Italy because of his clever rhymes and wordplay, his political and social satire and the many cultural references in his lyrics. He published 8 studio albums; his last album, Exuvia, was released in 2021. His last two albums are actually pretty different from the rest of his discography: he got tinnitus in 2015 (for a musician it's a really difficult condition to live with), and this led to more personal and dark songs. His 2017 album "Prisoner 709" is, in my opinion, his best work and a phenomenal album musically and lyrically: check out "Prosopagnosia", the title track, "Una chiave"... Unfortunately some of his songs are not easy to understand even if you know the language, so you may like more songs from his earlier albums like "Museica" (2014), "Il sogno eretico" (2011). I strongly recommend you to give a listen to some of his songs, he really is one of the best artists in Italy and I think he doesn't get the appreciation he deserves.
fun fact: the title of this song is a pum between jodel and "io della vita non ho capito un cazzo" which means "I don't understand shit about life" He makes pretty good songs I reccomend
i listened to this twice, and now it just pops up in my recommended, like the algorithm is all like "hey, you gotta give it another listen again" AND THEN I DO, you have me in your grasp Italian Serj Tankian
The fact that the algorithm decided to introduce us to 13 year old song by an Italian Serj Tankian who raps while a funko pop version of himself is yodelling and doing a silly dance is purely sensetional
I am listening to a guy singing in a language I do not speak, skewering the culture of a country I have never lived in, from a time that I was too young to remember anything from. I love the internet.
Very true. As someone who hasn't heard real rap in the US since the late 2000s, I'd love to see this style come back. I don't speak Italian but this was real rap and not that garbage mumble, bragging, auto tune garbage we have today from chumps who were born into well to do families pretending they grew up on the streets or had any sort of genuine experience.
As an italian and a caparezza fan it's amazing watching how the algorithm just so happened to make this banger resurface not only to italians, but to the whole world. This is crazy, and I love it
I know that this is a funny song and it's being recommended to everyone now but I actually have been listening to the album this came from nonstop and also Caparezza's other works, thanks youtube, I love this guy now.
As an american in Texas i really like the sound of this. The funny animation brings back a lot of memories from my childhood as i loved stuff like this as a child. Also th cartoon character looks like serj tankian.
to everyone in the USA watching this, this is not a mistake. This is simply one of the best songs of all time, embrace it and become a CAPAREZZA fan. E' CHIARO?!!?
As an American i have done exactly that, he's so talented and no two songs sound the same. And even though i can't understand what he's saying his flows are incredible and when i look up translations it's always some real shit 🔥 If you have any song recommendations I'd love to check them out

If you love this aspect of his music, I really suggest you to check out his other works, even if you don't understand the language. You won't get the rhymes and the clever word-play, but you'll love the alternative rap and the feel-good vibes
this is a relic of it's era: -wide aspect ratio -random samples that WORK SO WELL -disco inspired visuals ( akin to frutiger metro ) -spring hair physics -classic 2000-2010 3D artstyle
Every time i see the word ''Frutiger'' i snapped into a gorilla rage because overuse of that shit by late gen-z and gen alpha. All of yours shall witness the magnifisence of ''Zang Tumb Tumb'' and than come back
@@boryolmung9548 You cant deny the influence from that clip, the term frutiger metro was democratized later but that doesn't mean that anyone who uses it has not experienced it . (I grew up with late vista design, the aero one that later came to windows 7 and many other similar themes like the wii etc) Also Zang tumb tumb is just a poem, with crazy bars mind you but I don't reference the song itself, I reference the visuals being inspired by frutiger metro. The music is very clearly rap. Have a nice day man
@@sloppy_slime My anti-frutiger stands comes from my general distaste of nostalgia in general. I do grow up with windows 7 too but i have no nostalgia for it. Nostalgia is a one-sided thought. ''Old is better because i grow with old thing'' no is not. You think old is better because you don't have the thought process to differ good and bad, everything comes you as good because you didn't know any better back then. The zang tumb tumb thing is a semi-joke btw. I genuinely love futurist art (not the futurism the political movement i know whole fascism crap) and pre-WW2 avant-garde in general but Zang tumb tumb is just funny.
For those who came across this 2003 song, but don't know the Italian language, here is the English translation. N.B.: Such lyrics is full of humorous and bizarre verses, in which Caparezza criticizes Italian society and culture Jodellavitanonhocapitouncazzo (Yodonotunderstandshitaboutlife) [Yodeling] I don't made a show, I put on a show like My drunk grandfather on the day of my Communion So out of mind That I have relatives who are not at all happy to bear the same surname as me Leave me the presumption of feeling like manure Sometimes hard, sometimes sewage But what desire for fame, I'm starving But what place at the table, I have the bowl like a dog I bark for a couple of dishes I beg for I could behave like a choleric but I forget about it A real doctor stands next to me, he says to me: "Don't you realize that you're becoming schizophrenic?" Shut up doctor! You cost me a lot, I'm worth zero And don't call me an artist, but a bullshitter Is it clear? I'm a bullshitter at the root I'm happy in the dung, I should cry, and instead... [Yodeling] I'm sick but on the one hand I don't give vent to victimization A Gou Kato by the rules: Love Me, My Knight I aspire to the Oscar, but that of aphorisms I had to take a shower but they gave me a frisbee And I smell like shit, I drink a lot Escaped my fate like a stowaway in a hull Wide open eyes like an owl I build tuff after tuff a future that sees me as a UFO Sure I get bored, I swear on every quiff I should blow the trumpet for how many times I snort If I dive into one of my ideas I find myself free-diving in a tide of diarrhea I find it funny I am alive, but I don't live because I breathe I only feel alive if I take out the fountain pen and write When I was born I didn't understand And now that I still don't understand, all I have to do is... [Yodeling] I laugh, but I cry heartily If I see the well-built and just right lamp-tanned buster I, who have Woodstock mud in my locks, stink I accumulate sweat for hours that I spray I love women who taste like cod More than showgirls with sequins and ostrich feathers I tumble to a pile of joy Even if I don't spend the summer having fun on the beach I'm the reigning champion of the useless But my skullcap burns like lava rock And in the contest of who cheats in music I'm in the game with a two of spades up my sleeve The only certainty is that I'll end up badly Caparezza dies, everyone at the funeral It's paradoxical, but I'm not coming, I don't care Man, how many records will they sell if I pass away (General, in the operating room) [Yodeling]
I love how like jarring and unorthodox this song feels, the beginning of it looping, the raindrop notes, the strange angles of the animation, the instant cuts, the yodeling, its beautiful and I wish I heard it far earlier
he loves to experiment, there isn't a song that sounds like his others, and as others said, he does in fact spit bars I'm sorry if you can't understand the language
@@Manu-se5tx That right there is my favorite type of artists, the ones that make their songs so different from each other as if they don't belong in the same album or even to the same person. And yeah, wish I did speak Italian just for this song but thankfully a comment had translated it, showing how its a gritty song and how he would think at the timr
@@tweetyboid7424 if you want more from this artist I can recommend you his underrated (except a couple of ones) pieces, there are a lot of cool stories and rabbit holes that you could find yourself in by reading the lyrics "la fitta sassaiola dell'ingiuria" "Legalize the premier" "Goodbye malinconia" "Canthology" "Vieni a ballare in Puglia" "Prisoner 709" "Teste di modi" "La certa"
this feels like an unlocked memory. I grew up on the Mediterranean and I feel like I've seen this video before on a regional music channel there when I was younger.
@@simonemontagna7678 possibly, but I remember the regional mtv played a lot of artists from the UK honestly, it was still more of an English music channel, however there was 1 more music channel that had music from all over Europe and I remember at the time I had moved there that O-Zone - Dragosta Din Tei song was practically on repeat on that channel at the time
oh my...are you gonna use this song for make another mix? cause it will be awesome also, is possible that I am the only italian that listen to your and Pluffaduff stuff?
@@PrincePatrick-k1y i have traslation: I don't put on a show, I put on a show like My drunk grandfather on the day of my communion So crazy That I have relatives who are not at all happy about bearing the same surname as me Leave me the presumption Of feeling like manure Sometimes hard, sometimes slurry No desire for fame, I'm starving No place at the table, I have a bowl like a dog I bark for a couple of dishes I beg for I could be angry but I forget A real doctor is next to me, he tells me “Don't you realize you're becoming schizophrenic?” Shut up doctor It costs me dearly I'm worth zero And don't call me an artist, but a bullshit It's clear? I'm a dick at heart I'm happy in fact, I should cry and instead I'm sick but on the one hand I don't give vent to victimization A Mirko, with all the trappings Licia kiss me I aspire to an Oscar, but the one for aphorisms I had to shower but they gave me a Frisbee And I smell like crap I drink freely Escaped my fate as a stowaway in a hull Eyes wide as an owl I build tuff on tuff a future that sees me as a UFO I'm sure I'm bored I swear on every tuft I should blow my own trumpet for how many times I snort If I dive into my idea I find myself holding my breath in a tide of diarrhea I find it funny I am alive but I don't live because I breathe I only feel alive if I take out the stylus and write When I was born I didn't understand And now that I still don't understand, all I have to do is I laugh but I cry heartily If I see the handsome, well-built and well-groomed guy I, who have Woodstock mud in my locks, stink I accumulate sweat for hours that I spray I love women who taste like cod More than showgirls with sequins and ostrich feathers I roll into a nest egg of joy Even if I don't spend the summer having fun on the beach I'm the reigning champion shit But my skullcap is as hot as lava rock And in the music cheating competition I'm in the game with a two of spades up my sleeve The only certainty is that I'll end up badly Caparezza dies, everyone at the funeral It's paradoxical But I'm not coming, I don't care Mom how many records will they sell if I shut down (Doctor, in the operating room)
I am really glad that I am not the only one who got this video recommended recently. RU-vid algorithm sure do work in mysterious ways, but with this one, I ain't complaining.
I'm not italian and got this song recommended like 10 years ago and since then I've been listening to everything Capa has released. I'm so happy more people will now fall into the same rabbit hole that I did. PLEASE listen to this entire album. It's the best introduction to his music and it only gets better. Also, it's funny how new viewers call him "Italian Serj Tankian" when he's most probably inspired by Frank Zappa.
I'm always impressed when someone can do a thing like turn a crude visual joke into a great piece of satire or vice-versa, and....he's being allowed to piss, but only if the straitjacket stays on, and then they treat him like a filthy animal for getting it on the floor, despite the fact that he did a better job of getting most of it in the bowl than is probably physically possible IRL, and it's implied that this further justifies him being locked up. That might be the best visual metaphor for how cruelly and disingenuously the world at large approaches the idea of people who have struggled with addiction and mental health problems reintegrating with society I've ever seen.
Amazing how this old song from my favourite artist was now reccomended all around the world and seeing how everyone appreciates an old italian song :) as an italian this made me smile haha these songs were my childhood
Jesus Christ, I've finally found it. I listened to this song for some time few years ago and now I couldn't remember the name, all I could remember was: -Big-haired italian rapper -Yodelling -Long, weird name -Animated MV with psychiatric ward -"Mi costi caro" And yet, all I could get from Google was "Yodel it!" from Romanian Eurovision.
Anche se sono 1 mese di ritardo, lo stesso lo devo dire, essendo un fan di Caparezza, mi fa molto piacere che sta esplodendo all’estero perché i suoi album sono troppo goated
