Adriano Celentano – Disco Milanese

27 November 2008

Adriano Celentano is one of those celebrities that is massive in his own country and virtually unknown elsewhere. He has had #1 pop songs, movie roles, variety shows and a hot wife who had her own #1 song, singing about the love affairs of her famous husband. Now that’s amore!

This video is gaining legendary status among music fans and kitsch variety show enthusiasts alike. The combination of horn stabs, thunderous drumming and a proto-rap delivery makes this sound like Tom Jones singing over a Theo Parrish loop, and the synchronized Broadway-style choreography only helps. The unique rhythm track has not been lost on DJ’s and the nu-disco scene.

Check the original TV clip and a new(ish) version from UK edit legend Greg Wilson below.
