Whoever loses the innocence of childhood has lost a big part of oneself. Thank you Rita Pavone for this song. You prove to be versatile besides being a great singer with an energy that many envy.
This is an italian saturday night variety show from 1977 Rai 1, "Rita ed io", she's one of the most popular italian pop stars ever, Rita Pavone, and the cartoon was from Bruno Bozzetto animator.

Basterebbe scriverne 2: una in lode del signor Parmentier, che diede un forte impulso all'alimentazione, in Europa, ed una sui politici, brutti come le patate ma assai meno utili!
look up a song called "Prisencolinensinainciusol' ... it's just gibberish that intentionally sounds like english. the italian guy who wrote it said that italians would listen to anything that sounds like its in english 😂
Thank you Alamo Drafthouse for bringing this song to my attention.
Amen
The pre-show at the Drafthouse is always great. It's a damn shame other theaters don't emulate it, instead of showing ads.
I'll go to my grave claiming that this is the greatest song in the history of mankind!
Solo perchè parla dell'America!

How the hell they dared to combine such a catchy jewel with the lyrics *_my name is potato_* is beyond imagination
Gli italiani hanno molta fantasia. Per compensare la loro disonestà e fannullaggine!
i love how she SCREAMS the first line of the chorus
Rita ist so hübsch, mein Idol u ihre Stimme einzigartig 😘
Never heard of Rita before until I saw this clip on EXP TV...... Quite enjoyable, great for kids.
I really love her movie “Little Rita in the West”, which she also sung the title song for.
Bellissima Rita... la guardavo sempre era la sigla del suo programma verso fine '70. Thank for posting!!!
Bellissima, avevo la cassettina...quanti ricordi.
Quanti ricordi questa canzone.Avevo il 45 giri
I don’t know what she’s singing about but she sure as hell means it.
Praticamente Adriano Celentano l'ha copiato

And how do you feel about it now?
Living proof that just about anything sounds cool with enough energy to it.
This is pretty epic for a song about a potato.
predicting the internet, 40 years before its time.

L’accento un pò straniero
(Yeah, yeah that’s true )
Dell’ americano impero
(Sure I’m an American potato)
Tu, woo- oo- tu
(That's me)
Tu sei un animale
( No…no… un animaleee)
Non mangi la carne, né erba , né uova
Ti nutri soltanto di terra sola
Tu… woo- oo -tu

Se ti parlo la tua voce
Mi risponde stranamente con accento straniero:
My name is Potato

My name is Potato
Potato Potato Potato
Oh my name is Potato
Potato Potato Potato
Thanks to share the lyrics.
All-time TH-cam hall of fame.
I've literally watched this like five times. I'm going to pitch it as a new Adult Swim show.
Urbaniak might have already tried.
The world needs more potato songs...
Basterebbe scriverne 2: una in lode del signor Parmentier, che diede un forte impulso all'alimentazione, in Europa, ed una sui politici, brutti come le patate ma assai meno utili!
One of the best vids ever while stoned.
Un video molto carino ed insolito!
"I need something to do..." *types 'my name is potato' into the youtube search bar* "omg... it's a thing..."
I met Mr. Manuli in person once, very nice man! I grew up watching his series of shorts Tofffsy!
Magnifica y simpatiquisima RITA PAVONE !!!
Favolosi anni '70!
I don't know why but every time I hear this song it makes me smile
This looks like a rejected School House Rock video. Thanks for the link Yogscast.
Here because of Todd in the Shadows. Stayed because now I'm obsessed with all things Rita Pavone. Go watch "Palla Pallina" next.
That's the song I was going click on next, too. BTW, her version of Volare is the best.
The most punk song of 1977
Potatoes will rule the world and make us sing this song!
I was bored and just searched "What is potato" ...and here I am
Have you ever been so drunk you became a potato?
I saw it happen to someone once. But never myself.
No, just a glass of milk
im potato morty
Ask Joe Biden
Aren't you a lose r natzi?
If my parents named me potato, they wouldn't live much longer once I became of age.
I think I'm a potato, looking for a Italian tomato
Sonhei q tinha broxado, então a Rita veio e cantou pra ele e então 'ele' ficou todo alegrinho e pulante =3
look up a song called "Prisencolinensinainciusol' ... it's just gibberish that intentionally sounds like english. the italian guy who wrote it said that italians would listen to anything that sounds like its in english 😂

E' la sigla di un vecchio programma italiano intitolato Io e Rita". anno 1977
My brain is struggle long to process what my eyes and ears just experienced…what?????
Anytime i cook potatoes i gotta sing!
MY NAME IS POTATO!!
For me, it was "Incubus" that said everything I felt I needed to know about what a s--t life I may live! His works surely hits you in different ways.

Viva viva viva Rita Pavone ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ma vai a cagare, enjoy the song and shut up.
I need the lyrics D:
that's right, i'm an American potato!
Maybe from Idaho.
He probably knows what the yogpod is, but I myself also wonder what a yodpod is.
vai Rita!!!!!
She kinda scared me when she first screamed her name
Great song.
Derpy squid, plz cover.
... this is way to catchy for a song about potatos, it's scary D:
I'm laughing as I read some of your opinions. It 's just a simple surreal song. You have no imagination. And without imagination we are all dead !
At least it's better than the shit nowadays on MTV
Timmy boo sent me.
Is that Goldie Hawn
Rita is a little cute. I'm just realizing. She got, like, a Emma Stone thing.
say that yet you've liked their hunger games highlights
About 1 hour after taking LSD this sort of thing happens
