Who sang this and what is the correct name

[Nils]

One of my friends back in the late 70's early 80's mentioned a song called Priessen coaling aintinain cuso, it was all one word and you do no spell it that way. Does anyone know the real title and the performer. Thanks.

what type of music?

[Nils]

It was disco, soul or funky type of song. As he liked James Brown also and recommended Funky Nassau by Beginning of the end at the same time.

Any idea what language it was?

[Nils]

Crikey now, I'm sure some of it could have been in english, but there was definately some lyrics sung in a foreign tongue. I remember the song had a recurring trumpet or brass theme through the song

Certainly Priessen coaling aintinain cuso isn't English- do you have any idea what language it might be so we can try to translate

[Nils]

No idea but I've tried to spell it phonetically, I got the impression that the origins were carribean> thanks for your interest here in trying to get the name for me>

Actually once I had the name of the song I found the version I was after was Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol which I've managed to source. thanks for all your help and it's a magic track, even managed to find the lyrics.
