umbertino Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Bass & keyboards on this one : 2 "Area" band members Eugenio - good voice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenio_Finardi Saw him live in 1980 if I recall correctly...His beautiful voice along with his great band (talented bassist Stefano Cerri-RIP) Only translation I was able to find so far ("Liscio" music genre he mentions in lyrics is a sort of Italian country music esp popular with aged folks in dance halls) https://flowlez.com/en/songs/diesel-661575/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umbertino Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 Like an animal Tonight I don't want to go out, neither to meet people No, don't worry, there's nothing wrong I'm not looking to fight, I don't want to talk about it, trying to understand it It's that tonight all I want is To make love like an animal I want to make love until it hurts I want to make love, I want to make love If you go there, have a drink and lock the door Here under the blanket it's warm, even if it's raining outside And this bit of sadness is nothing else than desire for tenderness And tonight I only feel like Making love like an animal I want to make love until it hurts I want to make love, I want to make love I'll give you everything you want If you had everything, you know, I'd give it to you From today my dreams are yours But don't ever leave me Tonight I want to let my instincts guide me I want to succeed to release all that's inside of me I'm tired of thinking, I don't want to play a role All I want tonight is To make love like an animal I want to make love I want to make love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umbertino Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 Big hit here in Italy when it got released....Around 1975 or 76 In that period Parliament passed a bill stating that the state-owned and sole media -dealer of radio and TV system monopoly was finally over and so lots of radio & tv stations started to appear all over the country.....in the past people used to call them "free radio stations" ..Radio libere....It was a big change over here.....
