If I’m not mistaken, in the mid-90s they were popular with a cover of "Because the Night." Just filling the gap.

No, Poletti. I disagree with your criticisms of Banana, not on the rest. Sorry, it seems obvious to me.

This is the Poletti I like. And with whom I am proud to disagree, line by line, letter by letter. Semper Tuo, Il_Paolo

Psycho... I’m only now reading your post above. LaRock indeed has a nickname similar to mine, but in this review, he gracefully deals with a matter related to my mission, without completely overlapping it (there’s an explicit sense of nostalgia in it). That said, suggesting that these reviews clutter the site seems a stretch: out of over 18,000 reviews, dedicating 0.001% to TV themes or 0.02% to "minor" music doesn’t seem like a problem, but rather an expression of pluralism. On the merits, I do agree with you: the advent of Cristina D’Avena has monopolized the TV themes genre, even if we must acknowledge that by 1983-84, the phenomenon of Japanese cartoons was waning (in my opinion, the best was between 1979-1982). Always Yours, Il_Paolo

Francescobus, I agree: Huck & Jim embodies an idea of freedom that we can only experience by recalling our childhood. On the same wavelength, Teppei. But - knowing your passion for Judas Priest and hard rock - doesn't the cosmic theme of the ending theme of Goldrake (io resto quassù/e tu scappi nel blu; vai/c'è sul radar la flotta di Vega) seem beautiful to you, almost trippy? And doesn't the pulsing bass of TriderG7 give the piece a sense of "suspension"... almost spatial? It's worth noting that the bass is similar to that of a contemporary piece by Mission of Burma!

I also notice a parallel between the conclusion of this film and "Borotalco" by Verdone, regarding the farewell to the passions of youth and the desperate acceptance of the daily life of maturity. No more sadness, below you can see what accompanies Calà in the final scene of the film, I had forgotten about it. Semper Vestri, Il_Paolo:

Yes, I was referring to the gag from "Back to the Future," of course.

He’s good, really good... however, there’s a strange legend about him: Johnny B. Goode wasn’t written by Berry, but was suggested by his cousin over the phone, after a white guy’s performance at a graduation party. Then, nothing more was heard of this white guy. In any case, better the old Chuck than the flabby Elvis.

Well done, nice catch-up, always in the wake of a "minor" and neglected music. Instead, I think it's important to have memory. I couldn't stand the cartoon, even though it was a trailblazer (better Creamy, more tantalizing, or Evelyn and the magic of a dream of love). I urge you to continue along this line, perhaps better framing the work in its period, its influences, even in the psyche of the young people. I've never been able to tolerate their Japanese electropop, in any case. Although I do see some influence from New Order.
