*IT HAS FINALLY BEEN SOLVED!* Piero cotto - Johnny in the middle of the park (1983) Peiro is looking for the full version through old files, the HQ song still hasn't been released yet.
If it isn't Piero, I can delete the comment. I do think it's him, since if you listen to his other songs it sounds a lot like the singer here. I'm not 100% but I'm more on the side of thinking it's Piero. It would suck if it wasn't him, but it's a possibility.
@keysarecool I'm pretty sure it's him, too. I just wanted to make sure you were aware it hasn't been confirmed since there has been a lot of confusion about that.

My interpretation of the Lyrics- Verse 1: Johnny in the middle of a park Waiting for tomorrow Hasn’t got a penny or a mark Or a road to follow Doesn’t have a realistic mind Or a word to say No we don’t know where he’s going to Or from where he came Verse 2: Johnny in the middle of a dream Bagels in his pocket (Johnny) Oh yeah (Johnny Johnny) Hasn’t got a butter or a cream Johnny is a rocket Pre-Chorus: He’s been moving on a one-night stand He’s a one-man show And he’s looking for some warm place he can go Till night is over Chorus: Johnny had a little dream (Johnny had a little dream) That things are not as bad as they seem (Not as bad as) For there’s something blowing in the air (Blowing in the air) Living without a care The grass is green (Guitar Solo Starts) Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny (Guitar Solo Ends) Pre-Chorus: He’s been moving on a one-night stand (Oh yeah) He’s a one-man show And he’s looking for some warm place he can go Till night is over Chorus: Johnny had a little dream (Johnny had a little dream) That things are not as bad as they seem (Not as bad as) For there’s something blowing in the air (Blowing in the air) Living without a care The grass is green Oh oh oh yeah-eh-eh
Great remaster! Honestly this song is great and the singer has an impressive voice (he sounds a bit like Joe Cocker to me). I hope we'll find out who he is someday. 👍
personal interpretation of the lyrics :) [verse 1] Johnny in the middle of a/the park, waitin’ for tomorrow! Hasn’t/Haven’t got a penny or a mark. or a road/word/row to follow. Doesn’t have a realistic mind! or a word to say… Doesn’t know where he’s goin’ to, or from where he came- *instrumental* [verse 2] Johnny in the middle of a dream, Painless/Painters/Halos in/are/ain’t a-sparkin’! (johnny! johnny-johnny!) Hasn’t got a brother or a queen, Johnny is a-rockin/rocket/ruckus! [pre chorus] He’s been livin’/movin’ on a one night stand! he’s a one man show! And he’s looking for some one/warm place he can go. Tonight/Til night is over- [chorus(?)] Johnny had a little dream! (johnny had a little dream!) a place/where things are not as bad as they seem (not as bad as) Oh/For there’s something blowin’ in the air, living without a care!

i think that the song talk about the life of a homeless person "Johnny", so i think he hasn't got a penny or a mark, or a road to follow, cuz he's homeless. In the verse 2, i think he says: "Johnny in the middle of a dream, papers in his pocket... Johnny is a rocket" "Johnny had a little dream, that things are not as bad as they say, or there's something blowing in the air" that's my interpretation, and maybe the name of the song is related to things like "One Man Show", or a title related to homeless lifestyle
"No, he don't know where he's going to, or from where he came" is what I hear clearly. "Johnny in the middle of a dream, fables in his pocket". I'm not too sure about this one, though. I can also hear "Doesn't have a well rested mind, or a word to say", if I'm under the assumption that this is a guy with a thick accent singing this.
@@Skrapeg0at After listening carefully to this song on repeat for a while I think he's actually talking about having bagels in his pocket in Verse 2 and hasn't got a butter or a cream for them which people usually have on bagels.
Saw on another video that someone suggested that its Italian singer Massimo Vita. I listened to some of his other songs and the resemblance is similar.
Dunno if this is any help, but the singer sounds a lot like Jack Sheldon (who sang I'm just a bill from Schoolhouse rock!) However, there are a few little differences that make me not as comfortable with saying confidently that it's him, but I think it's worth checking out (it sounds jazzy enough to be him, he is a jazz singer). The way he says "Oh yeah" makes it sound like him.
Massimo Vita Just confirmed that he didn't make the song . I'm lost, I really thought until the end it was him... I'm taking a Pause on this lostwawe for a while
RAI would very often put very nice songs in the 80's into the intros and outros of their, shows, commercials, documentaries... I like this one: th-cam.com/video/Rd9R4H9bHnw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=T249UO3jDPaQm92- It used to be unknown RAI song as well.
Thanks for sharing. That's a good song. I don't hear any resemblance with them and this song, though. The musical styles are much different. For starters, that song has a big emphasis on synth, whereas this song doesn't.

It’s kind of weird how everything, except for the song itself, is lost.
Wasnt this song in a end of a italian sports event or something like that?
Yes, but somebody from the channel was contacted and has no idea of who this song belongs to, and also there's no information on it @@BruhBubble
wait til you hear about Celebrity Number Six
@@explodamite HuH?! ❔❕
The song will always be "lost". In reality, it was made in-house.
*IT HAS FINALLY BEEN SOLVED!*
Piero cotto - Johnny in the middle of the park (1983)
Peiro is looking for the full version through old files, the HQ song still hasn't been released yet.
Omg, that's great news, I'll update the title and description, thanks!
I'm really glad it's found, it's my favourite lostwave song. I thought it never would be tbh
The song isn't solved yet. He hasn't sent any proof
If it isn't Piero, I can delete the comment.

It's incredible how the music industry lost such a great song.
this song was such a banger it became mysterious
still trying to figure out what the hell is in johnny's pocket
pebbles
a rocket?
list of possible items in johnny's pocket:
papers
hay bales
pebbles
a rocket?
ladles
bagels
fables
paid bills
panels
Mabel's (Mabel is?)
adults (pronounced weird)
haters
paddles
sleigh bells
Maybe sitckie notes?
1:02 if yall don't know what i'm talking about
Awww I'm in love with this song!!!! 🥺🥺
Same
It's hard to believe that this masterpiece is lost in time 😥
Not anymore
My interpretation of the Lyrics-
Verse 1:
Johnny in the middle of a park
Waiting for tomorrow
Hasn’t got a penny or a mark
Or a road to follow
Doesn’t have a realistic mind
Or a word to say
No we don’t know where he’s going to
Or from where he came
Verse 2:
Johnny in the middle of a dream
Bagels in his pocket
(Johnny)
Oh yeah
(Johnny Johnny)
Hasn’t got a butter or a cream
Johnny is a rocket
Pre-Chorus:
He’s been moving on a one-night stand
He’s a one-man show
And he’s looking for some warm place he can go
Till night is over
Chorus:
Johnny had a little dream
(Johnny had a little dream)
That things are not as bad as they seem
(Not as bad as)
For there’s something blowing in the air
(Blowing in the air)
Living without a care
The grass is green
(Guitar Solo Starts)
Johnny
Johnny Johnny
Johnny
(Guitar Solo Ends)
Pre-Chorus:
He’s been moving on a one-night stand
(Oh yeah)
He’s a one-man show
And he’s looking for some warm place he can go
Till night is over
Chorus:
Johnny had a little dream
(Johnny had a little dream)
That things are not as bad as they seem
(Not as bad as)
For there’s something blowing in the air
(Blowing in the air)
Living without a care
The grass is green
Oh oh oh yeah-eh-eh
ain't no way johnny's munching on them bagels in the 2nd verse 💀
Great remaster! Honestly this song is great and the singer has an impressive voice (he sounds a bit like Joe Cocker to me). I hope we'll find out who he is someday.
👍

Pierro cotto - johnny in the middle of the park ( 1983 )
This inspired me to change the name of one of my characters in my game because the entire song fits the description of him.
"Johnny Doe"
whats the name of your game and is it on steam?
^
@StanislawStanczyk-by4gg the codename is bird-game and it isn't on steam
Saw on another video that someone suggested that its Italian singer Massimo Vita. I listened to some of his other songs and the resemblance is similar.
I think the has the closest voice to the voice on this song.
Dunno if this is any help, but the singer sounds a lot like Jack Sheldon (who sang I'm just a bill from Schoolhouse rock!) However, there are a few little differences that make me not as comfortable with saying confidently that it's him, but I think it's worth checking out (it sounds jazzy enough to be him, he is a jazz singer).

Agreed
I was wrong but god damn they sound close
hey. its nice!
Massimo Vita Just confirmed that he didn't make the song . I'm lost, I really thought until the end it was him... I'm taking a Pause on this lostwawe for a while
Johnny is kinda relatable
Nice
next school dance i go to, ima request this song.
Steel Ball Run ending song
HOLY FUCK, it does actually fits
What a jojo ref
Absolute banger.
WHY DO I REMEMBER THIS FROM SOMWHERE
lol
sitcom music
The intro, the music, i swear i heard this recently, kinda reminds me of ilan chester.
OMG Johnny found 🤯🤯🤯
Decided to change title because the lead has not been confirmed until we have the full song.
The hell happened to the full ver?
Wondering the same, they said they would be releasing a full version but then radio silence.
The songs of the sitcoms in 70s and 80s be like:
Edit: ese piero es un genio
Update I was right he does have a beard but he’s Italian so
I was wrong About his Nationality but I was right about his facial hair
It better be a British or American man with a Beard or no beard in his mid 30s or 40s
you were correct
@@Yakko_101 yeah He has a Beard
But He’s Italian
@@healthybeautynutricioncoac4562 I meant how he had a beard as said by you
@@Yakko_101 yeah
Sounds like Los Canarios with they song Get On Your Knees
This sounds very 80's.
The voice like barry white
no way man, Barry's voice is deeper
Or Ray Charles
Why have I heard this before?
RAI would very often put very nice songs in the 80's into the intros and outros of their, shows, commercials, documentaries...
I like this one: th-cam.com/video/Rd9R4H9bHnw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=T249UO3jDPaQm92-
It used to be unknown RAI song as well.
Thanks for sharing. That's a good song.
I don't hear any resemblance with them and this song, though. The musical styles are much different. For starters, that song has a big emphasis on synth, whereas this song doesn't.
I thought the singer was Long John Baldry 😂

Kinda sound like Ray Charles
Hi

Another commenter mentioned Bill Medley. I can see the similarities
