Rating: Thinking is the greatest quality that distinguishes the human race from the animal one; however, it is also the greatest flaw. Continuously questioning the reason for things creates in the thinker a permanent state of doubt, which prevents them from living their already miserable existence spontaneously. That is, sometimes knowing is not so important, yet it is in the name of knowledge that current society is built.
Take my case: I think about Den Harrow and I ask myself, why? No, I mean, why?
Well, many of you may have known him as the Rambo in diapers from "L’Isola dei Famosi," but for those who are a bit older, you cannot forget that young man, legally named Stefano Zandri, who, at least twenty years ago, with his makeup, bleached hair, somewhere between Duran Duran and Billy Idol, sold a bunch of records and had a series of videos on DJ Television. His songs weren't even that bad, to be clear, nothing exceptional, but still worthy of that glossy electronic pop that was all the rage in those years. Don’t break my heart, Bad boy, Lies, were a clear example of the music that dominated the time, unremarkable but inoffensive, as plastic as you wish but not inferior to many other releases of that period. But there's one thing many don't know: Den Harrow didn't sing. I mean, he put his, forgive me, silly face, and someone else sang for him, while the good Den just moved his lips.
Like saying: I need to have a good round, call Rocco Siffredi in my place and then I take all the credit. Now I say, let him be a model and let the other person sing, give success to two people, what's the point of being a singer if you can't sing? Okay, maybe the singer has an awful face, but it can never be uglier than Lucio Dalla, so give him an opportunity! Then I understood. Den Harrow is the anglicized pronunciation of Denaro and then my naïve childhood mind opened up and I understood the perverse mechanisms of the show business. Today we complain about Tiziano Ferro, Duncan James and the Blue, but realize what was around two decades ago! Forget Paris Hilton, at least she put her goods in her hard videos! If today I have become what I am, it is also because of people like Den Harrow who posed too many doubts in my fragile psyche. But revenge is a dish best served cold, and I exacted my revenge one August night 15-16 years ago. The Den Harrow phenomenon was already waning so much so that to make ends meet he accepted a cameo in a nightclub where I was vacationing. It was my chance, I convinced my little friends to go see him and I waited for the right moment to do what any sensible Italian would have done. I took a cocktail, one of those served in a half melon, drank it, and kept the melon; when the waiter came to clear the table, I shot him a dirty look, but my damn melon stayed where it was. When the bleach-blonde made his appearance on the runway, amid the crowd’s cheers, I squeezed in and like a modern-day David against Goliath, I threw with all my might the half melon that splattered against Den’s white jacket. He looked at me dumbfounded, with those insane eyes we saw on the island, he made to lunge at me, but was stopped by a bouncer who hauled me outside. As long as I live, I'll remember the bouncer's good-natured face who winked at me and said, "Too bad they're not serving cocktails with a hand grenade!"
No lie, the nightclub was called either Nettuno or Tritone and it was located in Marina di Schiavonea, right where Ringhio Gattuso was born. Anyone who remembers the event will know that the melon stain on the jacket was made by El Minchia!!!
Tracklist and Lyrics
03 Future Brain (04:10)
Stockin' away all the details you want to know
Day after day all your memories get to grow
Putting all that you've stolen
In a prison that you've locked forever
Taking the place of our imagination
But you won't erase my heart
There is no way you can understand what I feel
You never pray 'cause your soul isn't even real
You might know lots of things now
But you can never be a lover
Winning the race with your information
But you can't replace my soul
REFRAIN:
Future brain you make me wonder
Is it sane to make a sample of my love
Future brain you're getting stronger
It's a shame you'll never know how to find love
Living today but tomorrow will be the same
I know I can say that you will never win this game
No matter how much you know now
You will never get to know us never
Taking the place of an institution
But you can't replace my love
Future brain you make me wonder
Is it sane to make a sample of my love
Future brain you're getting stronger
It's a shame you'll never know how to find love
Future brain you great computer
It's insane to program everybody's love
Future brain your list is longer
But you're to blame 'cause you don't know
How stupid you are
05 Mad Desire (04:08)
On the corner
Staring at the street again
Stormy weather
Like the clouds before the break to rain
Through my head
Images I've red
Here I am
Watching light reflecting in my face
Only you can make me wonder
I don't want to cross and I remember
It's either now or never
We're made to be together
Let's make it last tonight
Memories of mad desire
Hoping that this love will last forever
It's either now or never
We're made to stay together
Let's make it last tonight
REFRAIN:
Mad desire
Burning through the night
Mad desire
Dancing in the night
To the beat, to the beat, to the beat
To the beat, to the beat, to the beat
To the beat, to the beat, to the beat
Tried to call you
Phone was off the hook again
Passing hours
Staring through a cold and windy day
In my mind
Images I find
Here I am
Waiting for the moment you appear
Only you can make me wonder
I don't want to cross and I remember
It's either now or never
We're made to be together
Let's make it last tonight
Memories of mad desire
Hoping that this love will last forever
It's either now or never
We're made to stay together
Let's make it last tonight
Mad desire
Burning through the night
Mad desire
Dancing in the night
To the beat, to the beat, to the beat
To the beat, to the beat, to the beat
08 Charleston (04:50)
Don't stop (don't stop, don't stop, don't stop)
Jumping locomotion, energetic potion
Feel your body keepin' time
Pulsing beat into your mind
Automatic action, systematic passion
Daylight stepping in the night
Colours change to black and white
(Lover, don't waste your time)
('cause you can make a move)
(Brother, you'll blow your mind)
(If you get in the groove)
(Don't stop)
REFRAIN:
Don't stop, hungry dancer
Come and do the Charleston
Modern day romancer
Get back to the Charleston
Don't stop, hungry dancer
Come and do the Charleston
Modern day romancer
Get back to the Charleston
(Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop)
Dance until the morning
See your partner glowing
Back and forth you move your feet
Steaming hot, you feel the heat
Step back in the old days
Loving with new ways
See, you must have a good time
Happiness is in a climb
(Music, it seems to change)
(But people are the same)
(Choose it, what you prefer)
(But dancing will remain)
(Don't stop)
Don't stop, hungry dancer
Come and do the Charleston
Modern day romancer
Get back to the Charleston
Don't stop, hungry dancer
Come and do the Charleston
Modern day romancer
Get back to the Charleston
Don't stop, hungry dancer
Come and do the Charleston
Modern day romancer
Get back to the Charleston
Don't stop, hungry dancer
Come and do the Charleston
Modern day romancer
Get back to the Charleston
(Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop)
(Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop)
(Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop)
(Do-do-do-do-do-don't stop, don't stop, don't stop)
(Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop)
(Do-do-do-do-do-don't stop, don't stop, don't stop)
09 Bad Boy (04:08)
How can I remember what girl I will see today
If tomorrow she'll be gone?
Now I'm a pretender in a special kind of way
I've been living like James Bond.
The situation now will never change
Infatuation has gone out of range.
This is my life
and I don't want to see it die.
Bad boy
I wanna be a bad boy
If it means I will enjoy every day now.
Bad boy
I'm gonna be a bad boy
If I can play with my toy and get my own way now.
There are blondes and brunettes just like different cigarettes
All their lips are burning hot.
Some dress "Valentino"
others wear T-shirts to show
What a shapely bust they've got.
I can't refuse them when they come to me
I can amuse them if my heart is free.
This is my time
and I don't want to see it fly.
Bad boy
i wanna be a bad boy
If it means I will enjoy every day now
Bad boy
I wanna be a bad boy
If it means I will enjoy every day now.
Bad boy
I'm gonna be a bad boy
If I can play with my toyand get my own way now. @
11 Don't Break My Heart (03:54)
You took me by surprise
just like a rainbow in the night.
When I looked in your eyes
I could see diamonds shining bright.
I never realized you'd be the one to make it right.
You got me hypnotized
before my life was black and white.
You and me make a teom
I want you near me every day.
Last night I had a dream: You went away.
Don't breok my heart
don't let me down
Don't break my heart
don't make me frown.
We're getting serious
life by your side can be so nice.
You're so mysterious
yesterday you were cold as ice.
I wonder how you feel
if all your feelings are the same
When are your smiles for real? Or is it a game?
Don't break my beart
don't let me down
Don't break my heart
don't make me frown.
Don't break my heart
don't let me down
Don't break my heart
don't make me frown.
Don't break my heart
don't let me down
Don't break my heart
don't make me frown.
