This is diving me mental.

It's an Italian pop song I remember from my childhood so woud guess it was 90's or late 80's.

It's a sort of classic rock and roll type thing with a wee sax riff between verses that's infuriatingly catchy.

I appreciate that doesn't give you much to go on so I've actually played it into my iPad so you can hear what I mean, except the ipad doesn't have a sax so it's a keyboard playing the melody instead. You can imagine it's a rock and roll sax if you like!

Any ideas??

That is literally a completely different melody and chord progression from my link and I don't think it's Italian either so no cigar I'm afraid!

Thanks for guessing though smile

It was my wife's ides. Honestly! Might be better if you got a sax app on your ipad wink

Was it female or male vocalist or a group? Were the lyrics in Italian?

Male vocalist, Italian lyrics. Possibly Ramazzotti or Venditti or similar.

In fairness to my iPad, I thought a multitrack recording with piano, drums and organ was a pretty good effort! The sax part is literally what the organ is playing...

I think it might be Joe Dolci. Shadapaya Face

Could be the William Orbit remix

What an odd coincidence. I was thinking about Quarterflash at the w/e for no obvious reason.

I can't help with the OP tune.
