Ho trovato questa (ilare) lista di note canzoni italiane che suonano molto strane se descritte ad uno straniero; cosa ne pensate? ne conoscete delle altre?

  1. Salve, come detto nel titolo, la suddetta lista mi ha suscitato una certa ilarità, sono qui per sentire le vostre opinioni e per vedere se siete in grado di espanderla (mi fido di voi)

  2. Se qualcuno preferisce leggere testo vero invece di pixel:

    – the one about a vespa scooter
    – the one where spiderman dies, and he’s killed by the coffee industry
    – the one about the night before finals
    – the one about cicadas
    – the one about a girl named Gianna who had a crocodile and a doctor
    – the one where you should ask your mom to let you go buy milk because we have to talk now
    – the one where that damned spring comes way too early
    – the one where happiness is a glass of wine and a sandwich
    – the one about the belly button of the world
    – the one where a man realizes that he doesn’t know basic geometry after seeing another man

  3. Oddio quella di Gianna potrebbe essere ben più strana se ci si concentrasse sul ritornello

  4. The one where the singer tries to go to a Pink Floyd concert, but ends up interviewing people and considering the logistical challenges of such an event

  5. The one where people dance at a beach party during a volcano eruption, but nobody cares and there is a commercial on the tv about some sort of drink

    edit:

    Also, the one about tall african people…

  6. The one about the son of a God creating a ball using chicken skin and all the fish that surfaced to see it

  7. * the one about an afternoon that is light-blue and a train that is stuck in reverse
    * the one about a beggar who owns none other than God
    * the one about a girl who eats an apple, breathes quietly not to make any noise, and is as bright as the sun in the morning

  8. The one about the taxonomy of cobras.

    The raggae song about the moon knocking at someone’s door.

    The one about a guy, who just like me, loved The Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

    The one about being blue dabadieabada.

    The one in fake English.

  9. The one where when you are with me the room has no walls but trees

    The one about dark evenings

    The one where am i or not captain hook?

  10. The one about the psychological implications of the relationships between young men and young women;
    >!Cara ti amo (Risvolti psicologici nei rapporti tra giovani uomini e giovani donne)!<

    The one about the superhero which spreads shit on the faces of criminals;
    >!Shpalman!<

    The one about the lying calf with balsa-wood feet.
    >!Il vitello dai piedi di balsa!<

    Anche Elio da grandi gioie da questo punto di vista.

  11. Pure Battiato si presta fin troppo bene

    “the one about serenades in teacher school, during gym or religion classes”

    “The one where Tirana Radio plays Balkan music while Bulgarian dancers are barefoot coal walking”

    “The one where the singer can’t stand russian choirs, fake-rock, Italian new wave and English free jazz punk”

    “The one where the singer can’t watch those dumbass TV talk shows because apparently he’s too racist”

    Il segreto di pulcinella è che non hanno senso neanche in italiano, però

  12. A song where, after exploring the cosmos, you find yourself in Tennessee’s fields and you have no idea how you got there.

    The one where a guy in Hell beefs with Dante Alighieri.

    A song where God creates the world by contacting ENEL for the lights and Simmenthal to create humans.

  13. The one about a bathtub

    The one about a veal with wooden feets

    The one about a man who smears shit on people’s faces

  14. The one about wanting to spend all your time in a bathtub.
    The one about a cat and a fox trying to convince you to sign a contract in order to become a superstar

  15. The one about an old breton with a hat and umbrella of rice paper and bamboo cane, brave captains, smart macedonian smugglers, euclidean jesuits dressed like bonzi to enter the emperors’ court of the Ming Dynasty.

  16. As a non-Italian coming from r/all, I am baffled and amused by this thread. Can someone explain this part of your culture to me? Why do you have such funny-sounding songs?

  17. Unauthorized parking

    Abusive applause

    Abusive villa

    Abusive sexual abuse

    A great desire to start over, abusive

    … Rigged contract

    Rigged transplants

    rigger scooters that snatch made up women

    The beautician of the divas is now another men
