about

A silly satire about growing up. The idea was to do a parody of a typical doo-wop song, both musically and lyrically. A friend told us it reminds him the kind of surreal univers developed by David Lynch and yes, you can listen to it that way!
Enjoy Maria's operatic cadenza and Isabella' s cheesy sax solo!

lyrics

Sweet Sixteen


Sweet sixteen
In some ten years
you will worry about...
(Guess what?)

Sweet sixteen
In some ten years
(Or maybe sooner)
you will worry about
Your retirement plan
Sweet sixteen
Play the high school rebel while it's worth:
Now your mum's a whore, now your dad's a fascist,
But in ten years or maybe sooner
You'll follow their good example

(And it goes) Blacks are smelly
Russians vicious
And Chinese are all suspicious
Where are we going this summer
I wanna see my boss dead
All those fucking politicians
raised the price of my hair lotion
How can I buy a sports car and still go to the Seychelles?

Sweet sixteen in some years
You will happily give in

Sweet sixteen
In some ten years
(Or maybe sooner)
Nothing will compare to a wedding in the church
