We No Speak Americano - Original Version

Yolanda Be Cool is an Australian band comprising the duo Sylvester Martinez and Johnson Peterson. They joined forces with Australian producer DCUP (real name Duncan MacLennan) to release this single.

The song samples the 1956 Neapolitan language song "Tu vuò fà l'americano" (You Want to be American) by Italian singer Renato Carosone. The tune later featured in the 1960 film It Started in Naples, in which it was sung by Sofia Loren and Clark Gable. It was also performed by Rosario Fiorello in the 1999 movie The Talented Mr Ripley.

"We No Speak" originally reached #4 in Yolanda Be Cool's native Australia. It went on to be a hit throughout Europe topping the charts in several countries including The Netherlands and Denmark.
