In this video Canadian Guitarist/producer Dean Wolfe reacts to Elio E Le Storie Tese and the song is called Tapparella.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I'm Dean Wolfe, a mostly self-taught Canadian guitarist/composer/multi-instrumentalist/singer/producer/performer. I started out as a full time musician on the road at age 17 for two years, but went part-time ever since while holding day careers including as a chef and in spiritual health care while raising a family.
I've recorded hundreds of my own songs- many being used in media and award winning documentaries etc. I've been in several bands including a prog/jazz fusion act nFuze, performing in International Jazz festivals and jazz clubs. I abandoned the prog genre more or less back in the 1990s but have returned to it now with vigour a full 30 years later- so much prog I've ignored and quite frankly didn't have any idea about. My own prog band was rejected by record labels as "too progressive' in the late 80s, so i detoured into grunge, pop and alternative instead (then folk and acoustic fingerstyle guitar and ambient electric as well).

when you hear "forza Panino" you should know that...
Panino is the nickname of one of the former component on the band which died in 1998. He was a refined multi-instrumentalist
R.I.P Panino
And, most important, he died while playing the sax
All Hail Mangoni.
The song talks about the Italian highschool teen parties (in the 80's), the falsetto back voices are the nasty friends at the party and the lead singer is the boy who's trying to be accepted but they don't want him at the party.
One of their inspiration artist is Frank Zappa.
Finally someone said this! I always talk about Elio like our Frank Zappa with my American friends
Listening Elio without smiling only confirms that you cannot enjoy the Elio's project without understanding a word 😅
I guess so!
@@deanwolfechannel... And honestly I would have never defined his music as 'prog' rock 😉 But it's really fine that you discovered also these 'niche' artists of Italian music
@@davideb2807 Not so niche, at least in italy
This confirm you CAN enjoy EELST without understanding any word.
This confirms the fact that you can't help but appreciate being able to understand those words So much so that you could explain to him how much he's missing out.
"dannata festa delle medie!" ^__^
FORZA PANINOOOOO
Translated lyrics:
Big ol' zits
Blinds down
And bottle
Plus purified armpit
Do you remember, how sweet
The middle school party
~you're not coming!~
Doesn't matter, y'kno, I was supposed to have judo [at that time anyway]
But if you'd like it I can bring records
So you all can dance some ballads
~sure, bring them, but you're not getting in~
Why, why are you like this?
And I thought, and I hoped [that *something positive*]
I will participate
I will self invite
Damn middle school party
I ask for fonzi (intentionally silly mispronunciation of fonzies, a snack also distributed in Australia as twisties) and they give me leftovers
Chirst, whyyyyy
~commotion:~
~"spin the bottle" kicks off~
With some luck I'll be able to...
~you're not playing!~
...kiss...
~we formed the teams beforehand!~ [pretty sure this is just a way to shut the main character up and there are no teams]
...grope...
~but if you wait we'll be done in a little~
Yeah okay but then let's dance
~STOP FUCKING BOTHERING US~
On the [record player] plate a gièghegiè [no idea what that is, intentionally obscure 80s juvenile slang] spins
I dance alone and pride myself in it
Wonderful laughingstock, I
Will not consume
Will not swallow
This oh so bitter orange soda
{SOLO}
[Note: the following "no" section is, in the studio version, overlayed with a spoken word, pitched up (because middle school) rant about the same things listed below]
No
Invited: no
No fonzi, no
On the glass no
No name, no [a reference to names being written in sharpie on plastic cups]
Slow dancing: no
Hard dancing: no
[spin] The bottle: no
Game scopa: no [Italian card game, the phrasing is intentionally ungrammatical]
Friendship: no
Courtesy: no
Value-for-price: no
Abundant room for parking: no
ENOUGH!
THIS PARTY IS UNSATISFACTORY
BUT I HAVE A SPARE ONE
IN MY MIND
IT'S A VERY PECULIAR PARTY
WHERE EVERYONE WILL BE INVITED
MANY FRIENDS
ANY ENEMIES
AND PANINO TOO!
GO PANINO! [ad libitum]
{SOLO}
{Synth riff quoting PFM's Impressioni di Settembre}
Thanks!
Leggerlo in inglese mi fa ridere il doppio.
i testi tra le parentesi sono essenziali per tradurre EELST, sempre
Il GeGheGè è un brano di Rita Pavone! ua-cam.com/video/u6CILNT5gTw/v-deo.htmlsi=7MWRy1CZUJ7gkhB8
Sburo💦💦
The real prog song of EELST is "Plafone" from "Studentessi".
Also "Come gli Area".
Concordo… anche el pube ovviamente latinprog
Giusto,aggiungerei anche "Pagàno* ,"Ritmo Sbilenco" e " Il congresso delle parti molli ".
Gli Eelst comunque non potranno mai essere capiti al 100% da chi non è di madre lingua italiana. Vedo tante reaction sugli Elii con commenti molto ,molto discutibili e ridicoli.
E ora sburriamo e scorreggiamo con Elio!!!🤘
Ones of best Italian musicians + demential lyrics. They are very difficult to appreciate, especially if you’re not Italian, since their lyrics has so many layers and so many reference from Italian songs, history and society
Lyrics are not demential at all
@@fastrelief Benito is referring to a particular sub-genre of music in Italy called demential-rock.
In Italy "demenziale" is a synonym for "very silly" and depicts a type of humour. There are other bands under this category :)
@@Mattebodra I know, I'm Italian, still I think EELST lyrics are not demential at all. Squallor or Gem boy are demential, not EELST.
@@fastrelief indeed they are.
The most prog song by EelST is "Pagàno" (Pagan). There's also an instrumental version which is called "Pagàno karaoke". Masterpiece.
truly masterpiece

Ero tornato qui solo per postare lo stesso commento :D
they did it live with Santana! awesome!
If only you could understand what they're saying. They've been our Frank Zappa for more than 20 years, SUPER musicians, beautiful songs and very funny lyrics
Well, Zappa was a musical genius and a songwriting powerforse, but always on the "serious" side of the business while EELST.........well are just a bunch of incredibly talented musicians who want to have fun.
_______Real_______ fun
Amongst soooooooo many other things, they were censored and litterlay kicked out the stage during a national TV live concert in 1991 because they were singin a song about love and Ciarrapico (google the name and you'll understand)
@@marioguidotomasone1265 Not a clever comment. Eelst are AS SERIOUS as Zappa, talking about "business side" and songwriting powerforce. Probably you haven't been serious in analising their music.
Usually this band create songs whose lyrics are very ironic bordering satire and I wouldn't define them a prog rock band although absolutely a very good group of musicians much loved in our country. They're also younger than most of the Italian prog rock bands.
You have to check out that time they played along with Carlos Santana, an impressive live indeed.
You have to listen "Plafone" or "Pagàno", very proggy songs by Elio e le Storie Tese
ok
Pagano is rhythmically crazy. I believe it’s in 9/8, but I’m not sure. Plafone is very melodic, rich and complex. Both wonderful pieces!
I Will certainly react to them
@@vitoumafioso i read in the comments that it is 13/8...
@@stefanocastellani6826 almeno ci ho preso sul tempo dispari 😀
"elio and the tense tales" is the name if the band , the lirics are genius , i 'm laughing my ass off listening 😂
Not their best live, but glad to see EelST on a reaction channel. They are without a doubt the best Italian band, period. It's also good to hear your reaction because often their music is ignored, believe it or not. They started as a "comic" band, their lyrics are often surreal, depicting crazy and funny stories, which led people to take them for jokesters for the longest time, not realizing how amazing they are as musicians... but they do have a darker, more introspective side. It came out more after the loss of their friend and band member Feiez. I encourage you to read through lyrics if you do more reactions, they're essential to the musical context. Final fun bit of trivia: they've played extensively with James Taylor on tour and have jammed with Santana.
I’m a huge fan of progressive music, British, American and Italian. Elio e le storie tese is probably one of the best Italian bands of all times. Tapparella has been even played together with Santana on the Italian tv back in the 90s (check ‘taratata Elio Santana’ on UA-cam). If you want to try pure Italian 70’s progressive, I suggest you to check ‘Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Evoluzione’. Cheers!
I'll be doing a lot of Italian progressive on my channel
This whole concert was indeed live, but without audience! It was a stunt organized by Samsung to promote its Nexus series... or something along these lines.
Elio e le storie tese are a staple in Italian contemporary history, they started in 1979 but stopped playing together in 2018... Very sad times 😭 They are not strictly a prog rock band as they have songs from about all genres of music (discomusic, classic rock, pop, rap etc...)
They heavily rely on their funny and complex lyrics to carry their music, I can't imagine listening to them without understanding what they are saying! In fact in this very song they are singing about a typical middle school party and how Elio wasn't invited but still managed to sneak in. The ending is dedicated to a member of the band (Panino) who sadly passed away while playing with them... They used to play this song last in their concerts to leave the audience on an heartfelt note...
Also the leader of the group is actually Mangoni, the one dancing behind the singer Elio
I was wondering about the guy spinning the pole. Thanks for the info.. more Italy to come
EelST are a side act to Mangoni, actually ;)
Just to add to the abusrdity of the band, the guy who dances and is called Mangoni actually has a good career as an architect
Hahaha grande @MrSaverio97 vedo che hai corretto mettendo il vero Leader del Complessino 🥰
grat musicians and very funny/clever lyrics, always loved them :)
yes, I will study the lyrics closer next react. I have to translate them
hello, Elio and the tense stories, is a group much loved by Italians. Highly sought after music with very very eccentric lyrics. The Front man Elio does not sing a real story but uses the words for their sound. Even the staging is designed to get out of the ordinary and create a stir, always in good taste.
They played this song with Carlos Santana, video on youtube 😉
This is not Prog, this is Elio e le storie tese. Music, cleverness, Fun.
The song is fron was the '90s
the gig is from the '20s
And "Elio e le storie tese" is the name of the band
Elio e le storie tese Is the name of the band (Elio and the troubled stories). Is AN Iconic (and ironic) band from the 70/80's. They are something like Frank Zappa.
FORZA PANINO FORZA PANINO
è una band?
@@deanwolfechannel No! :D The song ends with the chorus "Forza Panino!", A sort of cathartic mantra along the lines of the one in the tail of the song Hey Jude by the Beatles. "Panino" (sandwich in english) was a youth nickname of Paolo Panigada, aka Feiez, historical member of the band death in 1999
Many already commented this but the funny story they are telling (actually sad but told in a so funny way) is probably more than half of the beauty of this song, more than the hi level music they are able to compose and perform. Even reading the translation of the lyrics won't let you appreciate its greatness, with all the references to the local culture and the use of words, the timings of each verse.. there is so much! As native I can tell you the "ha now they say that thing" is much more immersing than the music alone even at the nth listening. They are geniuses and this is a masterpiece by them like at least other 20 they wrote, maybe more!
This is their "Stairway To Heaven" (Elio's fans should know what i'm talking about😁)
React to "Canto nomade per un prigioniero politico" by Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, studio Version ;) ;) real italian prog
ok, for sure...
I can hear a little bit of "Any colors you like"
Greatest song ever written about craving for cheese fries ❤❤🤣🤣
Una Bomba di Elio!!! Faveeee
You should hear "La vendetta del Fantasma Formaggino" (The revenge of the Cheese Ghost).
EELST
To undesrtand what Elio&LeStorieTese are you can begin with: Essere donna oggi or Plafone or Abate cruento. They are litle pieces of perfection.. enjoy and let me know!! Ciao from Italy
I love to watch a reaction by a non-italian speaker, cause there is no off-putting by the lyrics. You are there enjoying the instrumental. The music. Cause the lyrics are often silly.
Elio e le Storie Tese is the name of the band, "Tapparella" is the title of the song.
They played with Vinnie Colaiuta behind the drums!
C'avevo Iudo.
Italian proud !
Elio is the Italian Frank Zappa. You should comprehend the lyrics. ;)
Le orme
Pfm
Banco mutuo soccorso
Area
New trolls
Balletto di bronzo..
Best 70s prog italian bands
too late but thx for the quote
From the same band i suggest "Cani e Padroni di cani" and Tapparella featuring Carlos Santana.
Prog and Elio makes me think more of songs such as Fantasma Formaggino, Pagano, Vitello dai Piedi di Balsa, Suonare come gli Area
Ready. Prog. Rock "biglietto per l'inferno" (1974)
What about the "canzone Mononota"? in that song they play like 15 different styles, many different tempos, speed....they could myx seamlessly all of this, and they did it in any oftheir songs, but the late "canzone mononota" is maybe the best example. But, can't do it without a translation of the lyrics
They are an Italian comedy rock band influenced by Frank Zappa.
Aha
@@deanwolfechannel ua-cam.com/video/REVjJNWULik/v-deo.html
sono i migliori
Il fatto che non possa capire il testo mi rattrista parecchio perché si perde la poeticità degli eelst
You could see EELST as our Frank Zappa band
You have to listen their song "Ignudi fra i nudisti" that's Elvis Presley Suspicious Mind reversed!
Didn't anyone mention of the live version with Santana?
I'll ck it out sometime
Dean Please React New Trolls " Concerto grosso" Italian Prog. Band 70'
Ok
The song is about not getting invitated to a middle school party.
They are our Frank Zappa and the Mothers, but better :) FORZA PANINO!
This band is from the 90s.
Ciao and congratulations for tour Channel.
However, I have to make a clarification: in Italy, the band "Elio e le storie tese" (fantastic musicians that I really like) are not considered "prog".
In Italy they are not associated together with PFM, Area, Banco , Le Orme, etc. but their music can be defined more as ironic, demential and irreverent rock.
Oh I see, ok
I would say they’re from the 80s. And they “broke up” in 2013
Hi man.. i m italian..
Please listen banco del mutuo soccorso (darwin).
Le orme (band)
Pfm (band)
Area ( band).
Balletto di bronzo ( ys)
New throlls.
Best prog bands in 70s and in italian music
more to come
They were very great musicians, but completely screwed out... But we italians adore them!
Great video! If you've got a couple minutes to spare check out the bergamo 96 live vrsion of this song. Even better than this one!
Elio e le storie tese are not a prog band. However 'Plafone' Is their most prog song
ok, will check it out thanks
FORZA PANINO!..FORZA PANINO!..FORZA PANINO!!!
Elio are very good but they are not that big thing, their secret is in the ironical, demential but harsh critic to the society of their lyrics.
But the real Italian prog rock is from 70s with PFM, Banco, Area and Orme. I can suggest you PFM's "river of live". You can compare PFM to any other historical prog band worldwide.
please check out Italian playlist of this channel.
If only you knew the meaning of the song.
😂😂😂
Forza Panino!
Forza panino!!!!
Would do you listen a real great track from Elio e le storie tese? Found "plafone"! It's awesome
Nice choice but the most prog song of them are pagàno, and budy giampi
Please read the lyrics 😂
"armpit purificata"
you have to understand the lyrics
Zappaesque but not prog. They are excellent musicians and sometimes joke live with prog covers. You can find their versions of Shine Of You Crazy Diamond and Mike Rutherford's Out into the Daylight on youtube. Anyway, I wouldn't call it prog even if the relation with Zappa is more than evident.
The same song with Santana: ua-cam.com/video/AbnYFbzfvzc/v-deo.html
,😂😂😂😂
!Non ci rompere i coglioni"
It is not prog it,s comedy
why do you look like that keyboard player? did i miss something?
also - i mean no disrespect to the band, but they just don't sound prog. they sound like classic rock. or maybe it's just me having listened to too much DT
I'm getting Italian commenters suggesting more proggier material by them, so stay tuned
Bro wot you're right, this song in particular is classic rock (really good classic rock in my opinion) , they have done some prog rock songs (Pagano, plafone) but they are not a prog rock band
If you aren't italian you lost 99% of the song.
Shame.
Are EelST extremely talented musicians or are they high-class shameless comedians? Just remove the "or" and you will get one of the rarest gems of the Italian music scene.
They're just a bunch of busumakos
what is a busumakos?
Sorry too poppy to my ears, too typical Italian pop elements heard millions times really too many cliches. Singing not special really. Osanna and New Trolls did this kind of stuff better back in the day. Next please.
You really are someone who understands music!!!🤣🤣
FORZA PANINO IN THE WORLD
