Vecchi Di Merda

Giancane's song "Vecchi Di Merda" is a satirical and somewhat irreverent commentary on the generational conflict between younger and older people. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the frustrations and annoyances that the younger generation feels towards the elderly. The song opens with a scene at a bar where an older woman with blue hair and her husband look down on the narrator, who is a laborer. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting the disdain and lack of understanding between the two age groups.

The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Vi odio finché non sarò anch'io un vecchio di merda" ("I hate you until I become an old piece of shit too"), encapsulates the narrator's frustration. This line suggests a cyclical nature of disdain, implying that the younger generation will eventually become the older generation they currently despise. The song uses humor and exaggeration to underscore the absurdity of this ongoing conflict, making it both a critique and a reflection of societal attitudes.

The latter part of the song takes a comedic turn with a prank call scenario, adding another layer of youthful rebellion and mischief. This segment serves to further illustrate the disconnect and lack of respect between generations. The prank call, which involves pretending to be the police, ends with a humorous twist, reinforcing the song's overall tone of satire and irreverence. Giancane's musical style, which often blends folk, rock, and punk elements, complements the song's rebellious and humorous nature, making it a memorable and thought-provoking piece.
