Our word of the week is forno, oven. The above is a parody of a hit song called "Porno" (needs no translation.) But You Tube star Andrea "Papero" (duck) Moraldi, like any self-respecting Italian, knows that food is more important than sex. So he turned it into a song about baking taters. My translation of his Roman dialect follows.
You, who call me at three 'cause you
have no idea what to make tonight as a side dish,
I- you know what I do when I'm in a hurry?
I cut up seven potatoes and stick 'em in the oven.
Oven uh oven uh oven uh oven oven
Oven uh oven uh oven uh oven oven
You, who ask me why they fall apart on you
when you take 'em out of the oven,
but, how much time do you cook 'em
and what oil are you using
when you take them out of the oven?
Oven uh oven uh oven uh oven oven
Oven uh oven uh oven uh oven oven
Just cook them less
And shake 'em around every now and then
Cut them up real nice
Before you add the oil
and stick 'em in the oven.
Oven uh oven uh oven uh oven oven
Oven uh oven uh oven uh oven oven
You, call me back at nine
and cursing tell me that the oven has exploded on you
Hey, call 911 'cause one of my hands
fell off and landed in the oven
Oven uh oven uh oven uh oven oven
Oven uh oven uh oven uh oven oven
Oven uh oven uh oven uh oven oven
Oven uh oven uh oven uh oven oven
