What is that song?


Does anyone know the song that Charlie is singing in the bar or whatever? it's in like german or something. I'm dying to know the name! please tell me!

reply

It's a nonsense song. Not German but a made-up language to sound somewhat European. I don't think the song has a name.

Tony Soprano: Everything turns to sh-t.

do u have any idea of what it MIGHT be?

reply

According to the soundtrack listing, the melody is from a French song called "Je cherche après Titine". (I am looking for Titine)

Tony Soprano: Everything turns to sh-t.

reply

OH! OK! So it's like part of the whole song? huh?

reply

Yes I believe so. The DVD has the "lyrics" for karoke and it has an extra verse that Chaplin filmed but was cut out of the movie.

Tony Soprano: Everything turns to sh-t.

I have something called Lime Wire, (idk, u might have it) and what should i look up? the title or charlie chaplin? if charlie chaplin, what should i look for next to his name?

reply

I can only guess that you could try "Charlie Chaplin Modern Times" or "Chaplin Modern Times".

Tony Soprano: Everything turns to sh-t.

reply

kk thnx, i'll try that

Charabia is one name it is called. It's also called the nonsense song often.

reply

It's fake language but it sounds like bastard of Italian and Frensh.

reply

Yep exactly. I carefully listened to it and I came to the conclusion that Charlie might have used a mix of about 50% French, 30% Italian and 20% German to make it sound like "from the old country" for Americans during the 1930s - but without any pinpointing. Pure genius as always.
