A song for the summer: “St. Tropez Twist” by Peppino di Capri

ByJohn

St. Tropez Twist (1961) – An act of faith towards one of the new frontiers that open up to the music of the sixties. It is the Twist, who has just seduced millions of young Americans on the push of Chubby Checker and others, and who is now translated by a awake and witty artist, Peppino di Capri, who proposes himself as a prophet and leader of the import models. The invention of Peppino, who with his personal name of Giuseppe Faiella is among the authors, is to accredit a new dance with which to calamite the boys, and not only, in a location of the French Riviera seen as a place of absolute fascination: St. Tropez is the promised land, the ideal docking for fun.

“In St. Tropez / La Luna wakes up with you / and dance the twist / counting the stars in the sky / but the even more beautiful star / is not in heaven here / close to me in St. Tropez. / … to St. Tropez / people wonders why / you dance the twist / bringing a dress in Lamè / you want to seem even more beautiful / but the fashion is always the one / if you dance.”

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.
