This is like all your worst karaoke nightmares come true, but sooner or later we had to write something about Italians and karaoke, especially Italians and karaoke and the famous song, “Volare”.
Before Italy’s big match tonight against the Netherlands, here is a funny video of the guys from the azzurri subject to a karaoke performance.
Cassano, Buffon, Del Piero and De Rossi sing “Volare”, which is actually called “nel blu dipinto di blu” (in the blue, painted blue), appropriate to the Italian national colours.
Following is the original 1958 version from Domenico “Mimmo” Modugno, with which he won the famous Festival di San Remo that year.
