Boris Vian adapted it in French under the name 'Tout fonctionne à l'italiano' ('Everything goes italiano') to parodize the then French craving for Italian things.According to the Italian newspaper la Repubblica, 'Tu vuò fa l'americano' is the definitive hit single of Carosone's artistic career, as he retired from music in 1960, just four years after releasing the song. The song is generally considered to be a satire of the Americanization that occurred in the early years after World War II, when southern Italy was still a rural, traditional society.

The lyrics are about an Italian who affects a contemporary American lifestyle, drinking whisky and soda, dancing to rock 'n roll, playing baseball and smoking Camel cigarettes, but who still depends on his parents for money. It was also performed by Rosario Fiorello in the 1999 film The Talented Mr.
