Excerpted from Pink Martini's live appearance on German television, from the JazzOpen Stuttgart festival, recorded on July 19, 2010. "Tuca tuca" is a featured single from Pink Martini's fourth studio album "Splendor in the Grass," sung in Italian and written by Gianni Boncompagni and Franco Pisano. Originally recorded by Italian singer and television superstar Raffaella Carrà in 1971, the song is accompanied by a fun and slightly provocative dance created by Carrà and performed here by Pink Martini lead singer China Forbes and bandleader Thomas M. Lauderdale during the instrumental. The song also features Pink Martini trombonist Robert Taylor.
LYRICS:
Mi piaci, ah-ah!
Mi piaci, ah-ah-ah!
Mi piaci tanto, tanto, ah!
Sembra incredibile ma sono cotta di te
Mi piaci, ah-ah!
Mi piaci, ah-ah-ah!
Mi piace tanto, tanto, ah!
Questo stranissimo ballo che faccio con te
Si chiama: ooh! Tuca Tuca, Tuca
L’ho inventato io
Per poterti dire:
“Mi piaci, mi piaci, mi piaci, mi piaci, mi pia!”
Ti voglio, ah-ah!
Ti voglio, ah-ah-ah!
È tanto bello star con te
E quando ti guardo,
Io sai cosa voglio da te
Tuca Tuca … Tuca Tuca … Tuca Tuca
Si chiama: ooh! Tuca Tuca, Tuca
L’ho inventato io
Per poterti dire:
“Mi piaci, mi piaci, mi piaci, mi piaci, mi pia!”
Mi piaci, ah-ah!
Mi piaci, ah-ah-ah!
E quando ti guardo,
Io sai cosa voglio da te, ah-ah!
E quando ti guardo,
Io sai cosa voglio da te, ah-ah!
E quando mi guardi
Io so cosa tu vuoi da me
