The RMS Queen Elizabeth pulling into New York with service men returning home after the end of World War 2, 1945. She was able to carry 15,000 people at a time, including 900 crew members. The trip from The British isles to the east coast of the United States usually took 5 to 7 days. During her service in World War 2, the RMS Queen Elizabeth transported more than 750,000 troops, and sailed a total of 500,000 miles (800,000 km).

In the 1970s, Italian singer Adriano Celentano created a hit song that defied convention. "Prisencolinensinainciusol," released in 1972, featured gibberish lyrics meant to sound like English. The song was a playful satire of the global fascination with American culture and the English language. Despite its nonsensical lyrics, the song's catchy melody and Celentano's charismatic performance made it a hit not only in Italy but also internationally.
