Gentlemen, I challenge you to a duel for having touched Ramona! Choose your second and your weapon, we shall meet tomorrow at dawn.

Nice review, interesting proposal, but which side should the first sentence be read from?

it's said "aridaje"

(the dark lord has taken possession of me)

...ooops! I fell asleep while reading your review... what were you saying? Did you come back to write this review? Tell me the place you returned from. I'll buy you the ticket...

I hadn't seen this. Interesting.

I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that.

Psycho, it wasn't Fred Bongusto. I found this online, the only uncertainty is whether his name is Roberto or Alberto: "The mysterious Fogus, the singer of the theme song, was actually Roberto Fogù, who disappeared in 1995. The testimony comes directly from the musicians who worked with him during the epic period of television theme songs, namely Douglas Meakin of the Superobots (Shin Man-ga! vol.2 - 1999) and the Fratelli Balestra (Man-ga! 3 Lug/Ago 2001). Thus, we retrace the urban legends that have emerged over time regarding the supposed identity of Fogus. Some claim he was Fred Bongusto, due to the not-so-obvious similarity of the voice, and the acronym hidden in the name (Fred bOnGUSto). But the most famous and established rumor suggests that Fogus was an still-unknown Piero Pelù, former Litfiba; in various shows this hypothesis has been suggested (e.g., Matricole), and now and then Pelù is still asked in interviews if he sang Jeeg! The Fogus track is dated 1979, but at that time Piero was 17 years old, whereas in the listening, one hears the voice of an adult man: the definitive proof that it is not him can be established by comparing it to the voice he has in his first album, "Desaparecido" from 1985, or in his second, "17 Re"; that voice is indeed different from the Fogus track. The "qui pro quo" likely began at the moment when a live version of Jeeg Robot performed by "Edipo e il suo Complesso" started circulating (also broadcast on the radio). The peculiarity of this interpretation was that the singer imitated the style that Piero Pelù adopted from "El Diablo" onwards (1990), which was actually quite different from that in "Desaparecido." At the end of the song, the singer of "Edipo" would say a nice "Thank you" in perfect Pelù style. Perhaps it only took a phrase like: "He really sounds like Piero Pelù," to spark the legend."

metamatic, nine tenths.
