«Throw from your windows with the broken pots and pans all your sorrows and open the door to the New Year
Who knows what will come to you it's new year's eve and with the beat of the Can-Can a river of champagne falls on the world thirsty of expectations. It's New Year's Eve - it's new...»
Miss Wertmüller, she actually recited her lyrics but you just can't hear them because everybody was wildly happy that this record was over, at last ...So sorry...
Special note of gratitude is due to Federico Fellini, without whose initial collaboration the ball would have never been set rolling.
