Revealing the Truth
After years of continued fame and popularity, the fans of Den Harrow were faced with an unbelievable news, it was revealed both by the frontman of Den Harrow Stefano Zandri and the producers that they had been hiding the truth from their millions of fans. It was disclosed that Stefano Zandri did not actually sing his own songs; he was essentially a character who lip-synched to vocals produced by a number of other Italo singers. And since they did not consider Zandri's name and origin to be trendy enough, the producers R. Turatti and M. Chieregato had decided to invent a fictitious English based last name Manuel Stefano Carry as well as U.S. based birth place Boston Massachusetts, U.S. by concealing Stefano's true Italian origins to be able to market him more easily in the English speaking world. [1]
Most of the songs for Den Harrow project were sung by an American vocalist Tom Hooker Beecher (aka Thomas Barbey, who was residing in Italy during the Italo-Disco era), including Europe-wide hit singles "Don't Break My Heart", "Bad Boy", "Catch the Fox", and "Future Brain". During an interview Hooker explains why it was decided to be done this way:
“There was a small problem, however. He couldn't sing. So the solution was to never let him sing, or to put his voice so low in the mix that it was non existent. He started as an image. He would work on his costumes and clothes and someone else would sing on the records. The truth is, vision is a more developed sense in humans than hearing. People tend to buy and listen what they like to see.”
Also according to Tom Hooker, in the very beginning Chuck Rolando's voice was used in the singles "To Meet Me" and "A Taste of Love". Later on, Silver Pozzoli was chosen to do the single "Mad Desire"; however, Hooker also produced the vocals for the album releases of "Mad Desire". Even though, Tom Hooker continued co-writing tracks for Den Harrow project, producers felt to bring in another vocalist into the studio with a higher voice than that of Hooker's for the 1988 album called Lies. According to Tom Hooker; however, Stefano Zandri has sung on his 1991 single Ocean.[2]

Catch The Fox
Den Harrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I lose my mind
I want her to be my baby
Maybe all the time or for one night.
Every girl in town's in danger
I could come up from behind
I don't want to be a stranger when I see a new girl that I like.
Hey ho hey - hurry up
Hey ho hey - look around like a hound till you catch the fox.
Every time they light my fire
They don't know what they're in for
Building up a strong desire
They keep coming knocking at my door.
Hey ho hey - hurry up
Don't give up till you catch the fox.
Hey ho hey - look around like a hound till you catch the fox.
Hey ho hey - hurry up
Don't give up till you catch the fox.
Hey ho hey - look around like a hound till you catch the fox.
Den Harrow's song "Catch The Fox" is a classic example of a 1980s Eurodisco hit with lyrics that are typical of the era's upbeat, carefree music. The lyrics tell the story of a man who is constantly on the lookout for attractive women, referred to in the lyrics as "foxy ladies." When he sees a woman who catches his eye, he becomes obsessed with the idea of having her, even if it's just for one night. The lyrics suggest that the singer is a bit of a player, a man who enjoys the thrill of the chase and is always looking for his next conquest.
The chorus of "Catch The Fox" urges the listener to keep trying until they succeed in catching the object of their desire, comparing the process to hunting down a fox. The song is a classic example of the kind of hedonistic, party-focused music that was popular in the 1980s, with a driving beat and catchy chorus that makes it easy to dance along to.
Overall, "Catch The Fox" is a fun, lighthearted song that captures the spirit of the 1980s disco era. Its lyrics may be somewhat simplistic, but they are still enjoyable to sing along to, and the song's energy and upbeat tempo make it a classic example of the kind of music that defined the era.
