\nRobespierre-Offlaga Disco Pax<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve been reading and obsessed with the book The Savage Detectives<\/a> and this song sort of captures the spirit of the book in a frenetic way.<\/p>\n

(translation from a youtube comment with minor changes by me)<\/p>\n

I’ve made my second grade exam in 1975
\nsocialism was like the universe:in expansion
\nthe teacher asked me of Max Robespierre
\nI told her that Jacobins were right despite the terror
\nthe French Revolution was right indeed
\nShe made no more questions
\nBut we also have many remembrances of that little old world fogazzaro
\nThe\u00ef\u00bb\u00bf 300 hundred points Space Invaders spaceship
\nEnrico Berlinguer on TV
\nThe Olympic winnings of Alberto Juan Torena in the name
\nof the Cuban revolution <\/p>\n

The Sandinista power in Nicaragua
\nThe cathechist who voted for Pannella
\nThe friends who went from smoking marlboro to heroin (and then they say “the\u00ef\u00bb\u00bf light drugs!”)
\nZora’s comic porn
\nand the prince without return
\nThe divorce referendum
\nand we didn’t understand why if ‘NO’ would have won the divorce, if it had been ‘YES,’ it wouldn’t<\/p>\n

Anna Oxa at San Remo’s festival dressed like a London punk
\nThe Van\u00ef\u00bb\u00bf Halen
\nThe first hand job
\nMy neighbour, a transvestite called Lola, which my mum used to call Antonio to our major astonishment
\nJarmila Kratochivilova
\nthe Toblerone
\nanybody knows why
\nA slogan of Reggiana’s Ultras after the American raid on Tripoli in the eighties-it said “Thanks Reagan! Bomb Parma for us!”
\nAnd then our fantastic toponomastic
\nKarl Marx street…
\n(list of revolutionary street names follows…)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
