PREAMBLE: Last night, I was at a party and to tell the truth, I didn't even know if it was a birthday party or what. Later I found out it was for a birthday, but you might rightly ask, why does this matter?

It matters because at a certain point a kind of DJ with a console as big as a Playstation2 played the song "Fiky Fiky" by Gianni Drudi: a general frenzy!

Do you remember "Mai dire Tv" from the Gialappa's? Yes, the program from Gialappa's that hilariously made fun of local TV stations and always featured videos of Gianni Drudi, a really cheesy guy who sang either at the beach or by the pool surrounded by girls in swimsuits "Come on, let's do Fiky Fiky together!" A great one, no doubt!

He also did others that made you laugh equally, like "Ah com'è bello lavarsi" but in the end, "Fiky Fiky" is the one that stuck with me the most. In short, the party turned into absolute fun! Everyone was asking for an encore, except for the girls acting all high and mighty, playing tough to pull. Well, I was in sweet company, but to one girl, I said straight out: "don't act like that, even my kitty has one"!

So, from a boring little party, like a first or at most second high school one, it ended up being a chaos and good laughs. Anyway, this Gianni Drudi took me back to when I was very young and brought back good memories.

In short, 5 stars to Gianni Drudi!

I'm even writing down the lyrics of this masterpiece.

FIKY FIKY by Gianni Drudi

In the scorching sand
I got a crush
Under the tanning sun
I met a naïve girl

HEY ARE YOU DOWN TO FIKY FIKY WITH ME?
LET'S DO FIKY FIKY TOGETHER... COME ON! COME ON!
HEY ARE YOU DOWN TO FIKY FIKY WITH ME?
LET'S DO FIKY FIKY TOGETHER...

You're all wet
In this blazing summer
Coming out of the water wet
Under the chocolate tree

HEY ARE YOU DOWN TO FIKY FIKY WITH ME?
LET'S DO FIKY FIKY TOGETHER... COME ON! COME ON!
HEY ARE YOU DOWN TO FIKY FIKY WITH ME?
LET'S DO FIKY FIKY TOGETHER...

The desire that rises
In the thought of licking
Of eating, of thinking
Of sucking a nice mango... snap it off!!!

HEY ARE YOU DOWN TO FIKY FIKY WITH ME?
LET'S DO FIKY FIKY TOGETHER... COME ON! COME ON!
HEY ARE YOU DOWN TO FIKY FIKY WITH ME?
LET'S DO FIKY FIKY TOGETHER...

You've got it all in your mouth
This budding desire
Slowly goes down
And starts to grow

HEY ARE YOU DOWN TO FIKY FIKY WITH ME?
LET'S DO FIKY FIKY TOGETHER... COME ON! COME ON!
HEY ARE YOU DOWN TO FIKY FIKY WITH ME?
LET'S DO FIKY FIKY TOGETHER... just you and me...

Fiky fiky.... fiky fiky fiky...

 If I were Gianni Drudi, I'd be as angry as a windmill’s blades during Hurricane Katrina.

 I dare to present to you the talent of this true martyr of social and political commitment in music.
