Disco Volare



As if "Volare" were not enough of an irritating chestnut, here's the disco version. Inexplicably, the video is set not in sunny Italy, birthplace of the song, but in the frigid north.

Why can't this be northern Italy?
This shot was taken in N. Italy. The mountains in the background are the Dolomites. Some pretty impressive peaks.
(sorry about the size of the image)

OK, the disco sucks but check more carefully next time. Note the grill ornament on the snowmobile, the ID on the airplane and the background, Dolomites for sure.

Okay, you guys, the video could have been and probably was shot in Northern Italy. But I always mentally associate "Volare" with sunny climes, and the song did indeed debut in Sanremo, on the Med. coast.

Not impressive as a disco number. But then I ever really was impressed by the song anyway.

The original reminds me of an episode of Columbo, where he is on a cruise ship and the singer gets killed. She deserved to die for singing that song, although she does have a magnificent looking bosom.

All unfettered Cs, and up, may be considered "magnificent".
