Sad. I loved that song.

Yes a favourite song of mine, sad news RIP

Sad. I loved that song.

You can still listen to it.

A great song indeed!

Shame, that was a great song. Apparently the guy playing the accordion was a busker Starstedt saw playing outside the studio and was impressed enough to invite him to take part. After the record became a hit he spent years searching for the guy to pay him some of the royalties but never managed to find him.

And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn
But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
I remember the back streets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly born tags, yes they try
So look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
'Cause I know you still bear
The scar, deep inside, yes you do
I know where you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
'Cause I can look inside your head

Pretentious load of old b******s.
Sorry.

And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn
But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
I remember the back streets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly born tags, yes they try
So look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
'Cause I know you still bear
The scar, deep inside, yes you do
I know where you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
'Cause I can look inside your head

Pretentious load of old b******s.
Sorry.

a very good song:

This song is about a young girl born in poverty in Naples, Italy, who grows up to become a member of the jet-set. It has been alleged that Peter Sarstedt had in mind movie star Sophia Loren, who was herself bought up in the back streets of Naples.

That's what an excess of frozen orange juice does for you ...

RIP Peter

Beautiful song. He will always be remembered for it.

 

[Drago]

I thought it was a dirge that went on and on and on. Still, sad that another big name has died.

I absolutely agree with your decision but it was worth saying even so
