"We No Speak Americano"
Song

"We No Speak Americano" is a song by Australian duo Yolanda Be Cool and producer DCUP. It was released on the independent Australian label Sweat It Out on 27 February 2010. The song samples the 1956 song "Tu vuò fà l'americano" by Renato Carosone and written by Carosone and Nicola Salerno. "We No Speak Americano" become an international hit, reaching the top of the charts in Belgium (Flanders), Denmark, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. It peaked at number two in Belgium (Wallonia), New Zealand, Scotland, Spain and Switzerland. The song charted within the top five in Australia, Austria, Finland, Italy and Norway.

Critical reception

Nick Levine of Digital Spy Blog gave the song a positive review stating:

Sometimes the mere title and attributation of a pop single can make your head spin. Yolanda, who the hell's Yolanda? Why is someone or something commanding her to act in a hip 'n' hapnin' fashion? What's a/the/her DCUP got to do with it? And 'We Speak No Americano' - huh? Truth be told, your trusty DS scribe needs a power nap...

... phew, that's better. Right, having made full use of the peerless research tool that is the World Wide Web, we can now reveal that Yolanda Be Cool is the name of an Aussie dance duo, DCUP is a fellow Antipodean DJ type and 'We Speak No Americano' is a club smash built around a socking great sample from an old Italian language hit from the 1950s - to which the knob-twiddling trio have added beats as bouncy and eager-to-please as a Labrador pup at din-dins time. The result is far from unappealing but roughly as repetitive as the musings of a drunken depressive, so enjoy it now before that mate of a mate with a fondness for novelty ringtones gets hold of it. Our guess? You've got 48 hours tops..[1]
