The italians sing

"gnocc gnocc gnocchi con mascarpon" (meaing potato dumplings with mascarpone cheese) for "knock knock knocking on heaven's door"

and "tirolesi, tirolesi, we don't have no time for no monkey business", Tirolesi being the inhabitants of Tyrol.

It's really funny over here, cos they all dance and "sing" the words, mimicking just the lip movement and many have no idea what the words mean. A funny example was watching the 64 yr old strict catholic female president of my company strut her stuff to "do it like they do on the discovery channel" !!
