<strong>Donatella Rettore</strong>, known just as <strong>Rettore</strong> (Castelfranco Veneto, 1955) is an Italian pop-rock singer and actress. She started her singing career in 1973, and for a few years, her songs were mostly on the melodic side.<br />
The year 1978 is a turning point in her career: she leaves out her first name, has a drastic change of look and changes completely her music style, engaging in pop rock, ska and disco. Rettore begins to earn a great popularity and for a few years, she is the best selling female artist in Italy behind <a href="http://www.italianpop.com/tag/mina">Mina.<br />
</a>In 1982, she launched <strong> Lamette </strong>(&#8220;Razor Blades&#8221;) a quite catching song, which is her fourth top 5 single in a row, and the first single from her highly successful concept-album <em>Kamikaze rock&#8217;n'roll suicide</em>, influenced by ancient and modern Japanese culture, and based on the idea of the honor suicide. The album will sell 3 million copies in Europe and, imagine that, Japan, while the single becomes a cult-song, getting included in the soundtracks of several movies and being praised by the British musician Patrick Wolf.<br />

<strong>Lyrics</strong></p>
<p>Dammi una lametta che mi taglio le vene<br />
(ploloploploploploploplo&#8230;)<br />
diventa bieca questa notte da falene<br />
(ploloploploploploploplo&#8230;)<br />
promette bene, si, promette tanto bene<br />
ma&#8230; (gimme gimme gimme)<br />
ma&#8230; (gimme gimme gimme)<br />
ma&#8230; (gimme gimme gimme)<br />
ma dammi una lametta che mi taglio le vene.</p>
<p>Dammi una lametta che ti taglio le vene<br />
(ploloploploploploploplo&#8230;)<br />
ti faccio meno male del trapianto del rene<br />
(ploloploploploploploplo&#8230;)<br />
ti voglio bene, si, ti voglio tanto bene<br />
ma&#8230; (gimme gimme gimme)<br />
ma&#8230; (gimme gimme gimme)<br />
ma&#8230; (gimme gimme gimme)<br />
ma dammi una lametta che mi schioppo le vene.</p>
<p>Parlo gia&#8217; da sola<br />
e disegno nell&#8217;aria<br />
certo, ho un po&#8217; peccato, ma che goduria<br />
mi gioco tutto con candore e furia.</p>
<p>E allora stop!<br />
senti come affetta questa lametta<br />
da destra verso il centro, zac<br />
dall&#8217;alto verso il basso, zip<br />
che gusto, che innesto<br />
gimme gimme gimme<br />
gimme gimme gimme<br />
gimme gimme gimme, gimme</p>
<p>Allora stop!<br />
senti come taglia questa canaglia<br />
ma che poltiglia<br />
gimme gimme gimme<br />
gimme gimme gimme<br />
gimme gimme gimme<br />
gimme gimme gimme<br />
&#8230;e allora stop!<br />
vivere in fretta, prendere al volo<br />
tutto conviene<br />
dammi dammi dammi dammi</p>
<p>Dammi una lametta che mi taglio le vene<br />
(ploloploploploploploplo&#8230;)<br />
mi faccio meno male del trapianto del rene<br />
(ploloploploploploploplo&#8230;)<br />
mi voglio bene, si, mi voglio tanto bene<br />
ma&#8230; (gimme gimme gimme)<br />
ma&#8230; (gimme gimme gimme)<br />
ma&#8230; (gimme gimme gimme)<br />
ma&#8230; (gimme) ma&#8230; (gimme)<br />
dammi una lametta che&#8230;<br />
(dammi una lametta che&#8230;)<br />
dammi una lametta che mi sgarro le vene&#8230;</p>

<strong>Toto&#8217; Savio</strong> (Naples, 1937 &#8211; Rome, 2004) was one of the most underrated Italian music artists. He was not only a singer-songwriter, but an excellent musician, composer, lyricist, and producer as well. In a nutshell, a complete artist.<br />
He was the author of many easy-listening Italian pop hits, mainly in the 60&#8242;s and 70&#8242;s, such as <em>Cuore Matto</em> and <em><a href="http://www.italianpop.com/massimo-ranieri-erba-di-casa-mia-1972/">Erba di casa mia</a></em>, and one of the members of the wacky music band &#8216;Squallor&#8221;.<br />
In 1976, with his wife <strong>Jacqueline Schweitzer</strong>, he formed a duo called &#8220;<strong>San Francisco</strong>&#8220;, which did not last long, but it scored a big hit with their very first song <strong>Da lunedi&#8217;</strong>. a melodic pop hit at its best, which was a top 10 entry in the Italian Singles Chart.<br />
Savio died in 2004 of liver cancer, due to an infected blood transfusion.<br />
Mrs. Savio wrote on the website she dedicated to her husband that Paul Mc.Cartney, during a tour in Italy, was asked who was the musician he most liked in his teen days. McCartney answered he loved Marino Marini&#8217;s young guitarist who he met in the late 50&#8242;s. That was Toto&#8217; Savio.<br />
<br /></br><br />
<strong>Lyrics</strong></p>
<p>Io con te mai piu&#8217;<br />

<br />
<strong>Franco Califano</strong> died the evening before Easter at 74. He was one of the greatest Italian songwriters and lyricists, besides a singer as well as a writer and actor.<br />
His family was from Salerno province, though he was born by chance above Tripoli, at that time an Italian colony, on an airplane. He spend almost all his life in Rome, and many of his songs he performed were actually in roman dialect.<br />
Califano always showed up as a disillusioned Latin lover, a little cynical, a bit romantic, boasting thousands of female conquests, always up against a never denied high life, among songs, concerts, nightclubs and pianobar events, alcohol and drugs. His fans used to call him <em>Il</em> <em>Califfo</em> but also <em>maestro</em>.<br />
His most distintictive song is quite possibly his greatest success as a singer too, <strong>Tutto il resto è noia</strong>, &#8220;<em>What&#8217;s left is boredom</em>&#8220;, and it&#8217;s no coincidence that it was also the sentence that he got tattooed on the right arm, and the one which sums up best his foolhardy life.<br />
<br /></br><br />
<strong>Lyrics</strong></p>
<p>Si, d&#8217;accordo, l&#8217;incontro<br />
un&#8217;emozione che ti scoppia dentro<br />
l&#8217;invito a cena dove c&#8217;e&#8217; atmosfera<br />
la barba fatta con maggiore cura.<br />
La macchina a lavare ed era ora<br />
hai voglia di far centro quella sera<br />
si, d&#8217;accordo, ma poi..</p>
<p>Tutto il resto e&#8217; noia<br />
no, non ho detto gioia<br />
ma noia, noia, noia,<br />
maledetta noia.</p>
<p>Si, lo so, il primo bacio<br />
il cuore ingenuo che ci casca ancora<br />
col lungo abbraccio l&#8217;illusione dura<br />
rifiuti di pensare a un&#8217;avventura.<br />
Poi dici cose giuste al tempo giusto<br />
e pensi il gioco e&#8217; fatto, e&#8217; tutto a posto<br />
si, d&#8217;accordo ma poi&#8230;</p>
<p>Tutto il resto è noia<br />
no, non ho detto gioia<br />
ma noia, noia, noia,<br />
maledetta noia.</p>
<p>Poi la notte d&#8217;amore<br />
per sistemare casa un pomeriggio<br />
sul letto le lenzuola color grigio<br />
funziona tutto come un orologio.<br />
La prima sera devi dimostrare<br />
che al mondo solo tu sai far l&#8217;amore<br />
si, d&#8217;accordo, ma poi&#8230;</p>
<p>Tutto il resto è noia<br />
no, non ho detto gioia<br />
ma noia, noia, noia<br />
maledetta noia.<br />
Si d&#8217;accordo il primo anno<br />
ma l&#8217;entusiasmo che ti resta ancora<br />
è brutta copia di quello che era<br />
cominciano i silenzi della sera<br />
inventi feste e inviti gente in casa<br />
così non pensi almeno fai qualcosa<br />
si, d&#8217;accordo ma poi&#8230;</p>
<p>Tutto il resto e&#8217; noia,<br />
no, non ho detto gioia<br />
ma noia, noia, noia<br />
maledetta noia&#8230;</p>

<strong>Loredana Berte&#8217;</strong> (Bagnara Calabra, 1950) is a very popular Italian pop rock singer, considered by many one of the most important Italian female acts.<br />
Gifted with a strong vocal personality and an undisputed interpretative talent, her career spanned over 40 years in alternating great successes and important music partnerships, to many hard times, where her temperamental frailty prevailed. A woman whose often troubled vicissitudes sometimes resulted in controversy and provocation, but who always managed to keep a strong media impact.<br />
Her first big hit was &#8220;<strong>Sei bellissima</strong>&#8220;, one of her signature songs and an evergreen of Italian pop music, which fully brings out her vocal and expressive talents.<br />
The end of her marriage with ex-tennis player Bjorn Borg and the tragic death of her older sister in 1995, the famous <a href="http://www.italianpop.com/tag/martini">Mia Martini</a>, left an indelible mark on Loredana, touching her working activity and personal life, making it more and more hard and troubled as years went by.<br />
<br /></br><br />

<strong>Lyrics</strong></p>
<p>Che strano uomo avevo io<br />
con gli occhi dolci quanto basta<br />
per farmi dire sempre<br />
sono ancora tua<br />
e mi mancava il terreno<br />
quando si addormentava<br />
sul mio seno<br />
e lo scaldavo al fuoco umano<br />
della gelosia.</p>
<p>Che strano uomo avevo io<br />
mi teneva sotto braccio<br />
e se cercavo di essere seria<br />
per lui ero solo un pagliaccio<br />
e poi mi diceva sempre<br />
non vali che un po&#8217; piu&#8217; di niente<br />
io mi vestivo di ricordi<br />
per affrontare il presente<br />
e ripensavo ai primi tempi<br />
quando ero innocente<br />
a quando avevo nei capelli<br />
la luce rossa dei coralli<br />
quando ambiziosa come nessuna<br />
mi specchiavo nella luna<br />
e lo obbligavo a dirmi sempre&#8230;</p>
<p>Sei bellissima<br />
sei bellissima<br />
accecato d&#8217;amore<br />
mi stava a guardare.<br />
Sei bellissima<br />
sei bellissima<br />
na na na na na na na<br />
na na na na na na<br />
na na<br />
na na&#8230;</p>
<p>Se pesco chi un giorno ha detto<br />
che il tempo e&#8217; un gran dottore<br />
lo lego a un sasso<br />
stretto stretto<br />
e poi lo butto in fondo al mare.</p>
<p>Son passati buoni buoni<br />
un paio d&#8217;anni e di stagioni<br />
ho avuto un sacco di avventure<br />
niente di particolare<br />
ma io uscivo a cercarti<br />
nelle strade, fra la gente<br />
mi sembrava di voltarmi<br />
all&#8217;improvviso e vederti nuovamente<br />
e mi sembra di sentire ancora&#8230;</p>
<p>Sei bellissima<br />
sei bellissima<br />
accecato d&#8217;amore<br />
mi stava a guardare<br />
Sei bellissima<br />
sei bellissima<br />
na na na na na na na<br />
na na na na na na<br />
Sei bellissima<br />
sei bellissima&#8230;.</p>

<p></br><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.italianpop.com/tag/mengoni">Marco Mengoni</a></strong> is the winner of the 63rd edition of the <em>Sanremo Music Festival</em> with his entry &#8220;<strong>L&#8217;essenziale</strong>&#8220;.<br />
In his latest interviews, although he claimed that he did not believe in a victory, the verdict of televoting along with the people&#8217;s choice award&#8217;s votes placed him on the top step of Sanremo&#8217;s podium, with <em><a href="http://www.italianpop.com/elio-e-le-storie-tese-la-terra-dei-cachi-1996/">Elio e le Storie Tese</a></em> in the second place, and the Moda&#8217; group in the third one.<br />
Soon after his victory, in a press conference, Mengoni dedicated his victory to the late great singer-songwriter, Luigi Tenco, to his own family, and his new work team.<br />
This is how he describes his song: &#8220;It does not have anything special because it is <em>essential</em> even in my approach in performing it, and in changing a few parts of the music and lyrics. It&#8217;s about two completely different sides of me”<br />
During the competition, Mengoni was also chosen to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest in May 2013.<br />
<br /></br><br />
<strong>Lyrics</strong></p>
<p>Sostengono gli eroi «se il gioco si fa duro, e&#8217; da giocare»<br />
beati loro poi<br />
se scambiano le offese con il bene.<br />
Succede anche a noi<br />
di far la guerra e ambire poi alla pace<br />
e nel silenzio mio<br />
annullo ogni tuo singolo dolore<br />
per apprezzare quello che<br />
non ho saputo scegliere.</p>
<p>Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi<br />
io compongo nuovi spazi e desideri che<br />
appartengono anche a te<br />
che da sempre sei per me l&#8217;essenziale.</p>
<p>Non accettero&#8217;<br />
un altro errore di valutazione<br />
l&#8217;amore è in grado di<br />
celarsi dietro amabili parole<br />
che ho pronunciato prima che<br />
fossero vuote e stupide.</p>
<p>Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi<br />
io compongo nuovi spazi<br />
e desideri che<br />
appartengono anche a te.<br />
Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi<br />
mi allontano dagli eccessi<br />
e dalle cattive abitudini<br />
tornero&#8217; all&#8217;origine,<br />
torno a te che sei per me l&#8217;essenziale<br />
l&#8217;amore non segue le logiche<br />
ti toglie il respiro e la sete.</p>
<p>Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi<br />
io compongo nuovi spazi<br />
e desideri che<br />
appartengono anche a te.<br />
Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi<br />
mi allontano dagli eccessi<br />
e dalle cattive abitudini<br />
e tornero&#8217; all&#8217;origine,<br />
e torno a te che sei per me l&#8217;essenziale.</p>

From 1990 to 1995, <strong><a href="http://www.italianpop.com/tag/masini">Marco Masini</a></strong> has been at the highest peak of his success. His first three albums sold around 3 million copies and were recorded also in Spanish. With his bold interpretative style and his lyrics that highlighted the prejudices of a conservative and repressive society of that time, Masini quickly became a real icon of popular italian music of the 90&#8242;s.<br />
With his 3th album, named &#8220;<em>T&#8217;innmorerai</em>&#8220;, the Florentine singer reached the top of his popularity, but at the same time, the first single from that album got a quite embarrassing reception from radios and TV channels, with predictable controversies and censorships. Sure enough, as its title is &#8220;<strong>Vaffanculo</strong>&#8221; (&#8220;Fuck off&#8221;), which, as if it weren&#8217;t enough, it is repeated numerous times throughout the whole song, and especially in the last part, sung by a chorus.<br />
Masini and many of his fans claimed the song was a complaint against the recording industries which were used to send back Masini&#8217;s songs, without even listening to them first. Such version, though, was not quite believable among music critics. Yet the single had a huge success, becoming his first n.1 song in the Italian pop chart.<br />

<strong>Lyrics</strong></p>
<p>Se mi guardo nello specchio<br />
con il tempo che e&#8217; passato<br />
sono solo un po&#8217; piu&#8217; ricco<br />
piu&#8217; cattivo e piu&#8217; invecchiato<br />
e&#8217; l&#8217;amara confessione<br />
di un cantante di successo<br />
forse e&#8217; l&#8217;ultima occasione<br />
che ho di essere me stesso.</p>
<p>Quando ho smesso di studiare<br />
per campare di illusioni<br />
sono stato il dispiacere<br />
di parenti e genitori<br />
ero uno di quei figli<br />
sognatori adolescenti<br />
che non vogliono consigli<br />
e rispondono fra i denti:<br />
&#8220;vaffanculo&#8230;vaffanculo&#8221;</p>
<p>Ma la musica e&#8217; cattiva<br />
e&#8217; una fossa di serpenti<br />
e per uno che ci arriva<br />
quanti sono i fallimenti<br />
mi diceva quella gente<br />
che s&#8217;intende di canzoni:<br />
&#8220;Hai la faccia da perdente<br />
mi dispiace non funzioni<br />
Masini, vaffanculo&#8230;vaffanculo&#8221;</p>
<p>Non importa se ho pianto e sofferto<br />
questa vita fa tutto da se&#8217;<br />
e nella musica ho solo scoperto<br />
il bisogno d&#8217;amore che c&#8217;e&#8217;</p>
<p>Chi lo sa che cosa e&#8217; vero<br />
in un mondo di bugiardi<br />
non si puo&#8217; cantare il nero<br />
della rabbia coi miliardi<br />
siamo tutti conformisti<br />
travestiti da ribelli<br />
siamo lupi da interviste<br />
e i ragazzi sono agnelli<br />
che ti scrivono il dolore<br />
nelle lettere innocenti<br />
e la loro religione<br />
e&#8217; di credere ai cantanti<br />
ma li trovi una mattina<br />
con la foto sul giornale<br />
in quell&#8217;ultima vetrina<br />
con la voglia di gridare<br />
al mondo: vaffanculo<br />
vaffanculo&#8230;</p>
<p>Mi dimetto da falso poeta<br />
da profeta di questo Fan&#8217;s Club<br />
io non voglio insegnarvi la vita<br />
perche&#8217; ognuno la impara da se&#8217;</p>
<p>Me ne andro&#8217; nel rumore dei fischi<br />
saro&#8217; io a liberarvi di me<br />
di quel pazzo che grida nei dischi<br />
il bisogno d&#8217;amore che c&#8217;e&#8217;<br />
ora basta, io sto male<br />
non e&#8217; giusto, vaffanculo</p>
<p>Nello specchio questa sera<br />
ho scoperto un altro volto<br />
la mia anima e&#8217; piu&#8217; vera<br />
della maschera che porto<br />
finalmente te lo dico<br />
con la mia disperazione<br />
caro mio peggior nemico<br />
travestito da santone<br />
vaffanculo vaffanculo<br />
vaffanculo vaffanculo&#8230;.<br />
&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
