From chocolate ice cream to limon ice cream: here are all the ice creams (more or less winking) in the songs to listen this summer
Mika is finally back to freshen up our summer. "Ice Cream”(ice cream) is his latest single, which anticipates "My Name Is Michael Holbrook ", new album coming out on October 4th. This time the singer has decided to unveil himself shamelessly, starting from the title of the album that shows his real name, but also talking about sides of his unpublished personality.
"Ice Cream was written in a torrid day last August, in Tuscany. Ice cream is that surreal state of endless hot summer afternoons. Sweat, dreams of summer flirts, the smell of the car as soon as you enter it and the sun visor burns. A mix of possibilities and frustration. The aspiration is to become a better version of myself and be proud of it. To dare, to be a sensual man, to express clearly the desire that I have always kept in my head.
Ice cream in songs
Overwhelming rhythm and text irreverent are the perfect ingredients to accompany the lightheartedness and the desire to have fun in the summer.
"VorI give you your ice cream, I want it to melt on my tongue … ".
The refrain, a bit mischievous, certainly does not surprise us. Nothing new if we think of the famous song "Chocolate ice cream" written by Cristiano Malgioglio and sung by baby.
But not all ice creams are so alluring. Ice cream in music is also nostalgia of past summers and loves, just some songs of the past. From "A limon ice cream" of Paolo Conte to "If you buy me an ice cream" of Mina, up to the most recent "Snow in the sun" of Pino Daniele.
Even the new Italian singer-songwriter cannot resist the iconic ice cream image: among the latest releases, it stands out "Colored ice cream"Of the Turin band Lemandorle, who sings "We are two tastes of a smile that melts slowly, like a colored ice cream".
We take it for granted, but ice cream is also a symbol of Italy in the world. Just like Mika, inspired by his stay in Tuscany, other foreign artists have also used ice cream and Italy to tell stories of love and passion.
The Parisian band Phoenix she let herself be inspired by Italy for her album entitled, precisely, "I love you": the song of the same name, contained within the disc, probably tells of an all-Italian love and does so through symbols such as ice cream, the Sanremo Festival and Battiato.
Also Lana del Rey sings of the infatuation for an Italian boy in the passage entitled "Savior“: Even here in the refrain a soft echoes ice cream.
We have selected some of these songs and many others: listen to them on Spotify in our ice cream playlist. What is the best time to listen to it? While we try to prepare homemade ice creams and sorbets!
