Peerla is the a studio album by Italian rock band Elio e le storie tese composed mainly of previously unreleased tracks, like the various opening themes for Italian television program Mai dire Gol, and studio outtakes. In Lombardy (the region around Milan) slang pirla is an insult, while perla in Italian means pearl; the double entendre focuses on the "English" pronunciation of "ee".
