What is "vertigogo"

"Vertigogo" is the title theme for the Four Rooms film soundtrack by Combustible Edison. It was submitted for consideration for an Academy Award but was ultimately disqualified from consideration because of its incomprehensible lyrical content. The reply by Music Branch Executive Committee chairman stipulated that "A special meeting was held recently for members of the Music Branch Executive Committee to view the video clip of your song and the music cue sheet and vocal lead sheet were carefully followed. The following decision was reached: The song "Vertigogo" was declared ineligible in the Original Song category because the lyric was not intelligible". The rejection stood despite the fact that the band submitted a lyric sheet with their best written approximation of the lyrics.

Vertigogo reached top charts in Japan. Vertigogo has later appeared as backdrop music on the NPR program This American Life.
