Thank you!  I often find that there is a hint of melancholy in things that are also funny, perhaps my penchant for dark humour....I know a lot of songs in this vein, I had a hard time selecting 3, well, 4, but am saving a few of the others for potential other polls where they might also fit.

Both songs are all in all melancholy, if we consider the music, but the second brings out the humor for the contrast between music and lyrics and cold, staid singing. The first from the melodic point of view is very nice.

I think this song enjoys the spirit of the poll.

It's an Italian classic, year 1965.

Rita Pavone: Viva la Pappa col Pomodoro /Long Life to the Tomato Soup





VIVA LA PAPPA COL POMODORO / LONG LIFE TO THE TOMATO SOUP (partial lyrics)

Chorus:
Viva la pa-pa-pappa /  Long Life to the so-so-soup
Col po-po-po-po-po-po-pomodoro / With the to-to-to-to-to-to-tomato
Ah, viva la pa-pa-pappa / Long Life to the so-so-soup
Che è un capo-po-po-po-polavoro /Which is a ma-ma-masterpiece
Ah, viva la pa-pa-pa-pappa /  Long Life to the so-so-soup
Col po-po-pomodor! /With the to-to-Tomato

La storia del passato ormai ce l'ha insegnato    / The history of the past has taught us now
Che un popolo affamato fa la rivoluzion  / That a hungry people makes the revolution
Ragion per cui affamati abbiamo combatutto    / That is why we have fought hunger
Perciò, buon appetito, facciamo colazion      /     So, good appetite, let's have breakfast

Repeat Chorus

La pancia che borbotta è causa del complotto      /The rumbling belly is the cause of the conspiracy
È causa della lotta: "Abbasso il Direttor!"      /It is the cause of the struggle: "Down with the director!"
La zuppa ormai l'è cotta e noi cantiamo tutti    /The soup is now cooked and we all sing
Vogliamo detto fatto, la pappa al pomodor!    / We mean done, the tomato soup!

Repeat Chorus

Viva la pa-pa-pappa
Col po-po-pomodor  / Long Life to the to-to-Tomato so-so-Soup!

  Oh, I did, and figured that out, just if YOU had accidentally done it, I'd known it would be total accident and not messing up the poll.  

And confirming this is a real poll, not a Sears poll.  Wink

It was me, and it was a "mistake" OK??? I accidentally clicked on it, and you're so merciless to even think the possibility of me being a troll!!! Confused
 

Of course a mistake would be fine! Especially you made a mistake, I know you are not trollish....we have had this happen a couple of times, though, and no one 'fessed up. 

And yes, this is a real poll and not a fake one, lol.  LOL







Just kidding - OK April 1 has passed, but this April Fool poll still is valid, isn't it? EmbarrassedLOL

I have to think about this. I will probably only be listening to the actual nominations this time (it took very long to get through everything in the last poll), and consequently I will only post one track too. But I have quite a few options to choose from.

  Glad so many have signed on, now, I was a bit worried at first, since it took a bit for people to join in.

I probably won't participate other than to share a song that I find funny.  Tastes Just Like Chicken by Scatterbrain.

Your "Potato" (lol) doesn't show. Is this the same version?


  That one is the same, I believe, although her short speaking intro is not here, which is fine, it's the song that matters.  Smile

Love that Tunau Tunak Tun thing - one of the billions of people who have seen it before, but always great again.
