He was born in Lebanon, the son of an Italian diplomat and an American singer. According to legend, he learned to play the guitar aged 10 to impress a German girl in his class.
As a rather cosmopolitan teenager Mazzolini began a career in a variety of jazz, rock and punk bands before meeting Rome, Italy based producer Pierluigi Giombini. Both shared a passion for synthesizers and started working together. The first release, Masterpiece, was a minor hit in 1982.
His footnote in charts history is his 1983 release I like Chopin (popular opinion notwithstanding, the piano motif herein is not a Chopin composition), which topped continental European charts for weeks.
The follow-up song Lunatic and the eponymous album also entered the Top 20 across Europe, but the 1984 album Telephone Mama was less successful.
Since then Mazzolini has released more albums. Not counting the occasional hit compilation with yet another "I Like Chopin" remix, the latest work was produced in 1997, an Italian only album called "Viewpoint".
Recently, Gazebo released a new album "The Syndrone" (2008).
Trotsky burger
Gazebo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Made the number one worldwide hamburger multinational holding
Here it is all for you - Trotsky Burger"
Babe when the sun comes down
You've got to meet me in town
Love let the children cry
Just leave your mother sigh
Fresh meat, all vitamins now
Coming from Siberia straight in your blood
French fries, Caucase Cola, wow
Snowpies vodka flavour, Vladivostok
Trotsky Burger, guarantee new
Trotsky Burger, gonna brainwash you too
Trotsky Burger, take it away
Trotsky Burger, 24 hours a day
Dad can't you see my hand
You've got to understand
Red doesn't mean you're dead
The waitress is good in bed
Fresh meat, all vitamins now
Coming from Siberia straight in your blood
French fries, Caucase Cola, wow
Snowpies vodka flavour, Vladivostok
Trotsky Burger, guarantee new
Trotsky Burger, gonna brainwash you too
Trotsky Burger, take it away
Trotsky Burger, 24 hours a day
The lyrics of Gazebo's song "Trotsky Burger" describe the bizarre concept of a hamburger chain created by a man from Vladivostok, which becomes a worldwide multinational holding before the Russian Revolution. The song seems to mock the absurdity of capitalism and consumerism, with lines like "fresh meat, all vitamins now coming from Siberia straight in your blood" and "Trotsky Burger, gonna brainwash you too." This suggests that the brand's reach is so massive that it can manipulate the thoughts of its customers, pushing them to consume more and more.
The mention of Trotsky in the title and chorus of the song is also significant. Lev Trotsky was a Marxist revolutionary who played a prominent role in the Russian Revolution and the foundation of the Soviet Union. He was a vocal critic of Stalin and his dictatorship, and ultimately, Trotsky was exiled and assassinated by Stalin's agents. The mention of Trotsky Burger implies that the brand is somehow connected to or inspired by Trotsky, but it is unclear whether this connection is meant to be taken seriously or is simply a product of the song's absurdist humor.
Overall, "Trotsky Burger" is a surreal and satirical commentary on consumer culture and the intersections of capitalism and politics. It suggests that even revolutionary figures and ideas can be co-opted and sold for profit.
