I've recently heard it was written to prove that Italians liked any song that sounded English, so he wrote a song that sounded English but was in fact gibberish, and it was successful.
I don't accept the premise though, as I nearly always have to like the sound of a song before I'll start thinking about the lyrics. I remember my girlfriend saying "This is great - listen to the lyrics!", and I could only say "But I don't like the music - I can't get as far as the lyrics!"
