And not just ANY porato-- an AMERICAN potato (though the song is in Italian). In light of the recent Potato Posting Pandemonium, here's a fun little 1977 animated music video from Italian pop star Rita Pavone, who had a minor hit in America in 1965 with "Remember Me"
The theme song for a short-lived late evening variety program, it takes on multiple dimensions when you know patata is also slang for female genitals, and the patata americana is also known as patata dolce, a.k.a. sweet potato.
