It is criminal to read an article about one of the catchiest songs of that decade and not see at least one of the excellent videos embedded.

Just make sure that you switch to the Italian audio track when the music kicks in or you will be profoundly confused by the auto-dubbing attempting to translate for you.

It's funny to me that he wrote the song to prove that his fans would buy any American-sounding song no matter the lyrics, but it was such a banger that even we in America love to listen to it. Backfired in the best way possible.
I prefer the black&white version with headbanging Raffaella CarrĂ  but alas, I can't find a proper version ATM.

Peak early 70s.

There is a YouTube link in the article.
Song starts at 1:41.
