Trotsky Burger

The very worst thing about Italy is not Silvio Berlusconi, the Camorra or endemic corruption. For as long as I’ve been visiting the place the pop music has made me weep with fury. It’s unbelievably, cosmically atrocious. You would chop your own head off to avoid listening to fifteen minutes of the shite See if…

See if you can make sense of this track “Trotsky Burger” (sic)  by a tosser called Gazebo. “Tosser” is a dialect word from Puglia which roughly translates as  “a wanker who thinks he’s really cool but isn’t to people with any sense.”

    Just to cheer you up:

    Blair:

    “Bono could have been a president or prime minister standing on his head. He had an absolutely natural gift for politicking, was great with people, very smart and an inspirational speaker … [He was] motivated by an abundant desire to keep on improving, never really content or relaxed.”

    Of course you can Joseph but don’t blame me if the listeners give you a damned good kicking.

    Good grief, I think you’ve discovered the unacknowledged love-child of Phil Oakey and Alessandra Mussolini!

    I’m not quite speechless… but 3:44 seconds of my life have been destroyed. Though it’s my fault I watched it through. There was a sort of sick fascination with the lyrics. WHERE did you find this? And what year is it from?

    Maeve – I saw it mentioned in a review and had to track it down. By way of compensation later this week I’m going to post a live recording of one of the most beautiful songs you’ve ever heard when I’ve done a little video for it.

    Bristol – the Human League were big in Italy in the 80s so I wouldn’t rule out the love child idea.

    I wonder if Cabaret Voltaire were big in Italy too. Somehow I doubt it. But their early dance track – Do The Mussolini (Head Kick) – was rather good.

    Believe or not this one was # 1 in the 90’s at the discos in europe. I used to dance it.
