lyrics
Cari spettatori,
Amici del variete
Calorissimo pubblico
Buona sera qui al Stella Matto.
Nella prima parte del programma
Venuta direttamente dal Cairo
la famosissima Lolita del Sudan,
una danzatrice del ventre
Accompagnato come sempre
dalla nostra orchestra Paolo Silvestri.
Prego Maestro: a Lei!
Sono Otto, sono Otto di Catania!
Sono arrivato a Roma 20 anni fa.
Sono qui per vivere,
per vivere la mia vita,
per mangiare, per rosso bicchiere di vino.
Per tutti questi giorni
voglio invitare tutti amici mei
Per celebrare la mia vita.
Amici grazie, grazie per venire,
grazie per andare con me
alla caffe Romana.
La via Veneto era molto speciale,
Con Marcello, con Luciano,
Con Verena la Sirena
Grazie per venire
e il mio nome e Otto di Catania:
sono arrivato 20 anni fa!
The ambitious Swiss electronic duo Yello comprised vocalist/conceptualist Dieter Meier -- a millionaire industrialist, professional gambler, and member of Switzerland's national golf team -- and composer/arranger Boris Blank. Meier, a former solo artist who also spent time with the group Fresh Colour, began collaborating with Blank in 1979, and the duo bowed with the single "I.T. Splash." After signing with the Residents' label, Ralph Records, Yello issued their 1980 debut LP, Solid Pleasure, which spawned the dance hit "Bostitch."
With 1981's Claro Que Si, Yello made its first forays into music video; their clip for the single "Pinball Cha Cha," directed by Meier, garnered considerable acclaim and in 1985 was selected as one of 32 works included in the Museum of Modern Art's Music Video Exhibition. Visual accompaniment remained a pivotal component of the duo's work after they signed to Elektra in 1983 for the LP You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess, as the videos for "I Love You" and "Lost and Found" received heavy airplay on MTV.
1985's Stella proved to be Yello's commercial breakthrough: while the singles and videos "Desire" and "Vicious Games" found success upon their initial release, the duo enjoyed a delayed hit with the album track "Oh Yeah," which reached the U.S. singles chart after being prominently featured in the films Ferris Bueller's Day Off and The Secret of My Success. After the remix project 1980-1985: The New Mix in Go, Yello recruited diva Shirley Bassey and ex-Associate Billy McKenzie for 1987's One Second.
Despite the success of 1988's Flag, which contained the international hit "The Race," over the course of the next several years Yello grew increasingly involved with film projects: after scoring the comedy Nuns on the Run, Meier directed his own feature, 1990's Snowball. In 1991, the duo resurfaced with Baby, followed three years later by Zebra. 1995's Hands on Yello compiled reinterpretations of the group's songs by the likes of Moby, the Orb, and the Grid, while Pocket Universe, a collection of new material, appeared in 1997. Their tenth effort, Motion Picture, arrived only two years later, which was itself followed by 2003's The Eye, which featured Jade Davies on a number of tracks. Touch Yello, their 12th album, landed in 2009 and featured smooth jazz megastar Till Brönner on three selections. Incredibly the duo had never performed live in their long history, yet their 2016 album Toy was released amid news that they would undertake their first ever live performance in Berlin later in the same year.
