about

A cod Italian folk song in the tarantella style with nonsensical and made up phrases that sound vaguely Italian. The spoken middle section (see below) is, however, bona fide Italian and speaks of confusing the words tarantella and tarantula.

"Guarda, è che un ragno salendo il muro
si presenta come una tarantola
Errore mio -non è un ragno
Piuttosto, è una danza"

Instrumentally a straightforward enough song to record, getting all the words in during the verses was something of a tongue-twisting challenge. The whole family sitting round a digital recorder shouting "hoy" was fun though.
