| I was wondering the same, i'm trying to relate it to king herod, but i think marcello is just a very common italian name so is just one more element to relate it to the "Italian culture" | |

I partially agree on that point you take about real masterpieces being celebrated, though I feel there is a dark and sad fate for an artist that your work becomes so good and timeless that it becomes unreachable for most people by being locked up in a museum, for whatever reason that may happen. I don't know if anyone else has noticed the "grave diggers" theme by regina. Thats something that I've asociated with the title of the song but anyway it might be over analizing and makes me feel a little crazy to think of it LOL. But it was actually my first impression when I heard the song, though overtime I've noticed other more imortant themes here. Love the song, I'm a violinist and theres something about "Art" and "professional" "academic" music that there really is to pitty about. |

| so far this comment is the one that i agree the most, but also tells me that the incarceration of the real art pieces is beacuse they hold the truth of freedom, and yet there is an interest on slaving people keeping away this truth. | |

"Salome can kiss my gutters" instead of "I'll make you kiss my gutters" always so biblical :S |

LYRICS CORRECTION I was reading the lyrics from the booklet at a local record store today and I found out it says "Salome can kiss my gutters" instead of "I'll make you kiss my gutters" O_O kinda makes more sense and makes the song even stranger... |

I never feel comfortable by giving such a specific interpretation to someone elses song, but in this one as in many other of reginas song, i feel it could be a satire on catholic customs, virgin marys cult, in this case italian mafia. if it were about mexican cartels it would be saying... "heeey juannito, how I wonder, la guadalupana when she speaks she tell the truth, no?" hahaha because here in mexico we do the "no?" question a lot as well as they do in italy, and the mexican cartels people are very well devoted to the virgin as well. |
