Heavily influenced by his idol, Elvis Presley, and the 1950s rock revolution, he is also known as the most famous dancer of the Hula hoop fad. For the last 40 years he has retained his popularity in Italy, selling millions of records and appearing in numerous TV shows and movies (including a short appearance in Fellini's La Dolce Vita, before becoming a famous artist). In the latter respect, he has also been a creator of a comic genre, with his characteristic walking and his facial expressions. For the most part, his films were commercially successful, in fact in the 1970s and part of the 1980s, he was the king of the Italian box office in low budget movies. As an actor, critics point to Serafino (1968), directed by Pietro Germi, as his best effort.
As a director he frequently casts Ornella Muti, Eleonora Giorgi and his wife Claudia Mori. His best movie like director is "Yuppi Du", winner of The Golden Palm at Cannes Festival. He and Claudia are the parents of Rosita, Rosalinda and Vincent Celentano, the latter most notable to worldwide audiences for playing the Satan character in Mel Gibson`s The Passion of the Christ. He also works often as a host for several Italian television shows.
His 1968 song "Azzurro" has regained popularity in 2006, due to it being the anthem of the Italian national football team (the Azzurri) who won the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The artist Vincent Fiorello has also created a remix of the song.
His last concert-event in 2012, after 18 years without live performances, was transmitted on Canale 5, with over 9 million viewers both evenings.

Quaderno con la g
Quand′ero piccolino cosi
Sui banchi della prima b
Con te mio dolce amor
Vorrei tornare per cantare ancor
Auli ule
Questo bel gioco
Vieni bambina
Giochiamo un poco
Tu dirai blem blum
Se tu vinci baci me
Auli uli ule
Auli ule
Se ti piace
Giochiamo ancora
A questo bel gioco
Che c'innamora
Tu dirai blem blum
Se tu perdi bacio te
Auli - ule
Auli ule

Vieni bambina
Giochiamo un poco
Tu dirai blem blum
Se tu vinci baci me
Auli uli ule
Auli ule

Che c′innamora
Tu dirai blem blum
E se il cuore fa bum bum
E l'amore
The lyrics of Adriano Celentano's song "Auli'-ule'" talk about the innocence and nostalgia of childhood memories. The singer reminisces about writing "cuore" (heart) with the letter "q" and "quaderno" (notebook) with the letter "g" when he was little, sitting on the benches of the first-grade class. He wishes to go back to that time with his sweet love, to sing and play together again.
The chorus of the song is an invitation to play a game with the person he loves. The game involves saying "blem blum" and kissing each other if they win. The lyrics express the joy and simplicity of being young and in love, enjoying life's little pleasures, such as playing games and kissing.
Overall, the song is a tribute to the beautiful memories of childhood and the innocence of youth, with a touch of romance and playfulness. It brings the listeners back to a time when everything was simpler and lighter, and the smallest things used to make us happy.
