È incredibile come una musica ti riporti indietro nel tempo.
Quanti ricordi!
Feste di 18 anni e le uscite con gli amici gli amori andati...il muretto in piazza a parlare del più e del meno fino a tardi le sere d'estate quando la scuola finiva.
Quando la vita era leggera !!!
Pezzone assurdo Ready or not di Dj Dado e Simone Jay !

@mikelosat

la track DANCE più bella di tutti i tempi, DJ DADO non ne sbagliava una, un mito che ricorderemo per sempre....

@alexander1897

Questo non è un disco ma un sogno!!! Quanti ricordi e che nostalgia! Quasi mi scende una lacrima....

@Arkanoid120773

Autunno 1998, 25 anni... detto tutto! A quasi vent'anni di distanza questo pezzo suscita ancora le stesse emozioni, altro che la musica spazzatura di adesso...
