Elio e le Storie Tese – Shpalman

March 26, 2008 by Alex Roe

This is a curious number by interesting Italian group Elio e Le Storie Tese. I’m sure its having a dig at someone, but I’m not sure who. Perhaps one of my Italian readers can let me know.

The video was shot in Milan, and perhaps you can guess which area. I know, but do you?

Anyway, here is the video:

    I assume that they’re all showbiz mates. Did you notice how there’s all the members of Le Vibrazioni in both other videos?

    Elio came to speak at a bookshop in Como recently. It was really funny.

    I’m not visible in the clip because I’m behind a pillar. I’m in this clip though: http://213.215.199.105/v_02polis-como-L-ness.wmv

    Thanks for that Danny!

    They are almost the same video – same location and they end up on the same boat too!

    What’s the connection with Elio??

    Cheers!

    Alex

    You also need to watch the video to Chiedi Chiedi by Frankie Hi NRG: http://youtube.com/watch?v=HNou24I_lKY

    I’m sorry, I don’t know if the song is about someone. Elio stated in an interview that it was just a parody of the cartoons themes.

    Hi Cristian,

    Thanks for the info on the video – I knew of the connection with Le Vibrazioni.

    ‘to have a dig’ at someone means to criticise or comment on someone indirectly but not really aggressively.

    If this is the case with the Elio video, I’d like to understand who and why.

    You are 100% right about the location!

    Alas no, I did not see their performance at Sanremo – but I’ll have a look at the You Tube video – thanks for the link.

    All the best,

    Alex

    The video is a parody of “dedicato a te” by Le Vibrazioni, if I understood what you mean:
    http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=6pOGn1oRgjY
    (by the way, what does “having a dig at someone” really means? I like idiomatic senteces)

    I’m sure on the location, though: Naviglio Pavese, that yellow bridge is the one that links Via Borsi with Via Pavia.

    By the way, did you see their performance at this year’s Sanremo Festival? (yes, he said THAT word instead of “Figaro”)
    http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=e_r4yLHUGpI
    It’s a big tribute to the former member Feyez, that died in 1998. He was called “largo factotum”.
