TTT - Carry on Camping (in Italy)

Hello Hive Music Lovers!,

Welcome to another #threetunetuesday created originally by @ablaze.

I like to share some music that I am listening to each week and this week we listen to 3 tunes that I have heard whilst on holiday in Italy.

But first, for those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday.... to quote @ablaze :

The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize.

You may remember the classic Carry on Camping film which was a classic film even when I watched it as a youngster. It was made in 1969, a whopping 54 years ago now, but was part of the cult status of films in the Carry On series that are still popular to this day.

Some of the main characters were Sid James, Barbara Windsor and Kenneth Williams. They were also my favorites too, especially Sid James with his constant gags and the cheeky laugh. A particular film moment I remember was from Carry on at your Convenience where he had a bird that could predict the winners of horse races.

Carry on Camping is full of many slapstick gags and plays on words that has you laughing all the way through at the sillyness of it all. It also played alot on many of the British sterotypes and mannerisms. Whenever I think of camping, the film comes to my mind.

A gathering at the pool where Zumba took place

On to the first song then, although in the film they do the group exercises on the grass, more popular these days is fitness classes in the pool. As I was passing by there was a really cool Italian dude doing these Zumba classes and I caught one of the songs that he played.

I have to say this Zumba teacher, was one of the coolest looking people I have seen. I guess if he can do Zumba, he must have some rhythm. The first song is by the group Los 4 and I had never heard it before, but thought it was a pretty cool tune.

The next tune I heard was when I was with my daughter to pick up some take away pizzas for lunch at the restaurant. There was some background music playing and I was wondering what it was. Therefore I have had Shazam installed on my phone that is usually good at picking up tunes for me to play later. Sometimes it does not manage to find them though, which is a shame, but it is the best I know of so far.

This tune is L'Impératrice Agitations Tropicales which is another tune that I had not heard of before but like very much. Probably this is my favorite of the bunch.

They are a French group and part of some of the really good group of French bands playing this type of music at the moment such as Daft Punk and Justice. Here is a really nice live version that I like.

So far we didn't have any Italian music, but that was about to change when driving to some of the many local restaurants, we would play the local radio station and I caught a few good tunes when they weren't talking. They seem to talk alot between the tunes in Italy.

Italy make some catchy pop tunes and this seem quite a nice one by Emma. I have not heard it before and do not know the meaning of the lyrics though.

That wraps up my #ttt for this week. What have you been listening to?
