A song for the summer: Edoardo Vianello's "Very Star Libronzata"

A song for the summer: “I Watussi” by Edoardo Vianello

ByJohn

I Watussi (1963) – He has had many of the genius perceptions Edoardo Vianello in his career, but this of the Watussi perhaps beats all the others for the sagacity in mixing elements of exoticism and an uncommon degree of irony, which just dilute the elastic to proceed and seem made especially to drag everyone to the ball and a rhythm to which it is impossible to resist. The incipit will serve
Also to give the title to a film of Marco Risi’s cassette film: of the series, everything is broth.

“On the black continent (paraponzi-ponzi-pò) / at the slopes of Kilimangiaro (paraponziconzi-pò) / there is a people of Negri / who invented many dances / the most famous is the Hully-gully hully-gully hulli-guuu … / we are the watussi, we are the watussi / the very high niggers / each three steps, we do six.

This news is, for a kind concession of the author and the publisher, by “linked to a grain of sand”, written by Enzo Gentile and published by Melampo Editore.
