And to your comment, I remember not even fully understanding some of the lyrics, so I would just try to come up with phrases that made sense to me. Worse, not being a native English speaker.

  I call your mis-understood English song, and raise you one song purposefully written to use fake-English sounding 'words': > The song is intended to sound to its Italian audience as if it is sung in English spoken with an American accent, however the lyrics are deliberately unintelligible gibberish with the exception of the words "all right".[8][9] Andrew Khan, writing in The Guardian, later described the sound as reminiscent of Bob Dylan's output from the 1980s.[9] > Celentano's intention with the song was not to create a humorous novelty song but to explore communication barriers. The intent was to demonstrate how English sounds to people who do not understand the language proficiently. "Ever since I started singing, I was very influenced by American music and everything Americans did. So at a certain point, because I like American slang—which, for a singer, is much easier to sing than Italian—I thought that I would write a song which would only have as its theme the inability to communicate. And to do this, I had to write a song where the lyrics didn't mean anything."[6] * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisencolinensinainciusol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisencolinensinainciusol * Audio-only: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQDY3HFkh_Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQDY3HFkh_Y * M/V: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VsmF9m_Nt8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VsmF9m_Nt8 Quite catchy.

My German wife’s sister famously (in our family) used to sing along to a song called “Jamaica the Sun” (Jamaika die Sonne). It was U2’s “Sunday Bloody Sunday”
