Topic: Italiano Fantastico!

Wanted to post a couple of videos that I found on Youtube. They're bits from an Italian programme called Fantastico that was my and my sister's ultimate favourite when we were kids. This is where my love for italo and disco comes from.

We literally grew up watching these shows. We only had a couple of episodes recorded, but used to watch them over and over again endlessly (that's why I think the videocasettes we had aren't playable anymore smile

Just love the style, music and dancing, the charming Adriano Celentano and, of course, the lovely Heather Parisi...

These are from Fantastico 5 (1984):

These are only small bits, remember really nice performances of for example Tulio de Piscopo's Stop Bajon, Evelyn Thomas' High Energy and Prince's I would die for U. Have to find them somehow, too!

Hope you enjoy the clips as much as I do, and if anyone knows the program too and finds some other parts (maybe the songs I mentioned above), please post them here smile FANTASTICO! big_smile
