Cover art for Sono Felice lyrics by Elio E Le Storie Tese

"Felice" means "happy" in Italian, but it is also a boy's name. So it makes perfect sense that this parody of the song "Sono felice" (originally penned by Rosalino "Ron" Cellamare for singer/actress Milva) is fashioned as a tribute to Sixties/Seventies cycling champion Gimondi, since his first name is Felice.

An English version of the song also exists, entitled "Deep Joy" and performed by Sandie Shaw.
