Mi piaci perché

The story behind

Vasco Rossi wrote a song called Mi piaci perché , which is on the album Bollicine, released in 1983. The song was recorded in a camper, while the artist had retreated to a quiet place. The music was written by Tullio Ferro, and he also wrote the first version of the lyrics in English. It all started with a concert in Cagliari, which was canceled due to the rain. Instead of leaving, Vasco stayed in his camper and finished the song. The song became a anthem for a generation. The Italian version was performed at the Sanremo Festival that same year. The song is short, lasting three and a half minutes, and has over three thousand plays on Last.fm.
