Sounds Like...

It's Monday.  It's raining, and for those of you who don't have the day off (like me), you might want a little melody to get you moving.  NPR's All Things Considered will do the job with its flashback to 1972 and this number one hit by Adriano Celentano.  The story behind the song is rather entertaining but you will absolutely lose three minutes and forty-five seconds if you start the video.  It's mesmerizing.  It reminds me of something Madonna may have thought about doing in one of her videos with a slight hint of Paula Abdul if Ms. Abdul was going for stark and Italian.  The melody?  I'm afraid it just may be with me for the rest of the day.
