Heavily influenced by his idol, Elvis Presley, and the 1950s rock revolution, he is also known as the most famous dancer of the Hula hoop fad. For the last 40 years he has retained his popularity in Italy, selling millions of records and appearing in numerous TV shows and movies (including a short appearance in Fellini's La Dolce Vita, before becoming a famous artist). In the latter respect, he has also been a creator of a comic genre, with his characteristic walking and his facial expressions. For the most part, his films were commercially successful, in fact in the 1970s and part of the 1980s, he was the king of the Italian box office in low budget movies. As an actor, critics point to Serafino (1968), directed by Pietro Germi, as his best effort.
As a director he frequently casts Ornella Muti, Eleonora Giorgi and his wife Claudia Mori. His best movie like director is "Yuppi Du", winner of The Golden Palm at Cannes Festival. He and Claudia are the parents of Rosita, Rosalinda and Vincent Celentano, the latter most notable to worldwide audiences for playing the Satan character in Mel Gibson`s The Passion of the Christ. He also works often as a host for several Italian television shows.
His 1968 song "Azzurro" has regained popularity in 2006, due to it being the anthem of the Italian national football team (the Azzurri) who won the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The artist Vincent Fiorello has also created a remix of the song.
His last concert-event in 2012, after 18 years without live performances, was transmitted on Canale 5, with over 9 million viewers both evenings.
Crazy Movie
Adriano Celentano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ognuno a posto che
Un ruolo per ciascuno
Nel mio film sta volta c′è.
Per crazy movie
Non manca di fantasia.
Una spruzzata d'amore
E poi un po′ di follia.
Ad ogni amico do
La parte che
Vuole recitare
Da una vita con me.
Per crazy movie
Attore chi non lo è?
Un po' di cipria sul cuore
E poi si fa come me.
E Giuda chi lo fa?
Io non sapevo che
È ruolo di cattivo,
Aspirante non ce n'è,
Per crazy movie.
Io voglio un film-verità
Con il cattivo che muore
E lei che non piangerà.
La vita è un grande film,
E chi la regia fa?
Ci vuole amore, guerra
E si fa una compagnia.
Per crazy movie
L′attore chi non lo è?
Un po′ di cipria sul cuore,
E poi si fa come me.
The lyrics of Adriano Celentano’s “Crazy Movie” can be interpreted as a metaphor for life and the roles we play within it. The singer describes the process of creating a movie, assigning roles to each of his friends and adding elements such as love and madness to make it interesting. In this sense, life can be seen as a movie, with each individual having a unique role to play. The singer suggests that anyone can be an actor in this movie of life, as long as they have a bit of powder on their hearts (a metaphor for putting on a brave face).
The lyrics also touch on the idea of good versus evil, with the singer casting one of his friends as the villain in the movie. He expresses a desire for a truthful film where the bad guy (played by Judas) dies and the female lead does not cry. This could be interpreted as a commentary on the nature of reality and our desires for justice and happy endings.
Overall, “Crazy Movie” is an entertaining and thought-provoking song that explores the complexities of life and the various roles we play within it.
