Born in Rome, Italy, Vianello started his career in 1956. His first successes came in 1961, with Il capello (Hair) and Pinne fucile ed occhiali (Fins, Spear, and Goggles), which both charted up to the 2nd position in the Italian Hit Parade.
Vianello had several successes in the 1960s, such as Guarda come dondolo (Watch as I Swing), Abbronzatissima (Very Tanned), O mio signore (Oh My Lord) which topped the charts, and I Watussi which went up to 3rd. After a less successful period, he re-launched his career in the 1970s, founding the duo Vianella with his wife Wilma Goich. Their main hit of the period was Semo gente de borgata (We Are People from a Small Town) that reached #7. In the late 1970s, he reprised his solo career.
As of 2006, the songs of Vianello were included in the soundtracks of 64 films while the Italian rights-collecting agency SIAE estimates sales of over 50 million Vianello records worldwide.

Prendiamo in affitto una barca
Edoardo Vianello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Prendiamo in affitto un barca
Un'ora soltanto
Andiamo a cercare uno scoglio,
Andiamo a cercare uno scoglio,
Lì si sta meglio
Andiamo a cercare un bagnino
Il cielo è un incanto
Facciamoci dare un pattino,
Facciamoci dare un pattino
Fino al tramonto
Abbiamo trovato la barca,
Abbiamo trovato la barca
Sul mare profondo
Un'ora potremo restare,
Un'ora potremo sognare
Fuori dal mondo
Abbiamo trovato la barca,
Fuggiamo lontani sul mare,
Sul mare profondo
Un'ora potremo restare,
Un'ora potremo sognare
Fuori dal mondo, mondo

Edoardo Vianello e Rita Pavone hanno lasciato il segno negli anni 60 con un successo dietro l'altro, poi nei decenni successivi non sono riusciti a far più nulla. Forse adatti solo a quell'epoca spensieratezza.
