Oh my, it looks like he is trying to use his hair to poke the clouds to make it rain. What is with that hair? I think he needs to put a light on it to warn aricraft it is there so they don't fly into it. Maybe he thinks he is a unicorn or something, I don't know, but there is Something About Mary about that hair.

Other than the hair, I guess he is less sleazy and greasy than your average italian, but I really cannot get over that hair. The best bit of this clip is three minutes in when he goes into the water and loses the hair. Yay for the water!

There is nothing to fear with this song and even the bookies don't think it will win.

Anyway that's it with Italy, Addio, Addio

I just saw a live performance of this song at San Remo, with the San Remo highlights on SBS today. near the end dad went to change the channel. I said 'he can't sing' and dad said 'no' he then left it on and there was some talking and music started and I asked dad 'Iis he going to butcher another song' and dad said 'yep'
