On 29/1/24, at night, I randomly click on a YT video from the home, and it's this one. Curious title, don't you think? And I practically die laughing, so I send it to a couple friends. And with this, I have set the algorithm in motion. Within the next day, it recomments a bunch of The Kiffness videos, including this one, or anyway one of the many videos on this "Alugalug cat" song.
OK. so. On 30/1/24 I randomly start thinking of an Italian version. I first think of the original below, only the meaningful lyrics of course, modulo the luga issue I'll deal with in a second. Then «I toyed with hey->ohi, but that didn't help the rhyme.». Finally, I came up with the final version below at 23:08, modulo changing "hey" to the current "dài" at 23:13.
So, the lyrics. Kiffness wrote "luga luga luga", then titled the song "alugalug cat", so something is amiss. Also, the cat in question is clearly not pronouncing a U, but an UH. So I'm going to write "lugga" so nobody thinks of putting a PUT-vowel in there (hopefully), and render it as "laga" in the Italian. And I'll title this "Lugga lugga lugga". Well, then I listened more closely, and revised this. Still keeping lugga lugga lugga as the title though. Also adding the IPA version of the chorus to do this thing justice. With that, let's see this thing!
