Canzoni stonate
"Canzoni stonate" is a 1981 Italian song composed by Mogol and Aldo Donati, arranged by Celso Valli and performed by Gianni Morandi.
Overview
After a long period of professional crisis and a poorly received professional comeback at the Sanremo Music Festival 1980 with "Mariù", "Canzoni stonate" proved to be Morandi's true career revival. The song was originally composed by Aldo Donati as "Canzone per chi la vuole", with lyrics by veteran songwriter Silvestro Longo. Morandi and his production team found the music effective but considered the lyrics too banal, so Mogol quickly reworked them during a phone call with Donati. The launch of the song proved to be difficult, as RCA Italiana's artistic director initially preferred the B-side of the single "Immaginando".The song marked the return to hit parade for Morandi, and while it failed to enter the top ten, it became a long-seller and eventually a classic, especially after entering the repertoire of nightclubs and piano bars.
