Pink Martini is on tour! Tickets are on sale now at: http://pinkmartini.com/shows/
Live from Basel's popular AVO SESSION festival (now known as Baloise Session) on October 22, 2011, Portland, Oregon's "little orchestra" Pink Martini plays their cover of the Italian hit "Tuca Tuca" made famous by Raffaella Carrà in 1971, complete with its own specific "touch touch" dance that bandleader Thomas Lauderdale and lead singer Storm Large perform mid-song. Written by Gianni Boncompagni and Franco Pisano, Pink Martini's version of the song was first heard on their 2009 album "Splendor in the Grass." This live performance features Jeffrey Budin on trombone, bandleader Thomas Lauderdale on piano, and Storm Large on lead vocals.

LYRICS (ITALIAN)
Mi piaci, ah-ah!
Mi piaci, ah-ah-ah!
Mi piaci, tanto, tanto, ah!
Sembra incredibile ma sono cotta di te
Mi piaci, ah-ah!
Mi piaci, ah-ah-ah!
Mi piace, tanto, tanto, ah!
Questo stranissimo ballo che faccio con te
Si chiama: Tuca Tuca, Tuca
L'ho inventato io
Per poterti dire:
Mi piaci, mi piaci, mi piaci, mi piaci, mi pia!
Ti voglio, ah-ah!
Ti voglio, ah-ah-ah!
E tanto bello star con te
E quando ti guardo, lo sai cosa voglio da te
Tuca Tuca... Tuca Tuca...
Non toccare
Tuca Tuca... Tuca Tuca...
Si chiama: Tuca Tuca, Tuca
L'ho inventato io
Per poterti dire:
"Mi piaci, mi piaci, mi piaci, mi piaci, mi pia!"
Mi piaci, ah-ah!
Mi piaci, ah-ah-ah!
Mi piace, tanto, tanto, ah!
E quando ti guardo, lo sai cosa voglio da te, ah-ah!
E quando ti guardo, lo sai cosa voglio da te, ah-ah!
E quando mi guardi, lo so cosa tu vuoi da me
LYRICS (ENGLISH TRANSLATION)
I like you, ah-ah!
I like you, ah-ah-ah!
I like you so much, so much, ah!
It seems incredible but I have a crush on you
I like you, ah-ah!
I like you, ah-ah-ah!
I like it so much, so much, ah!
This very strange dance I’m doing with you
It’s called: ooh! Tuca Tuca, Tuca
I made it up myself
To be able to tell you:
“I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, darling”
I want you, ah-ah!
I want you, ah-ah-ah!
It’s so nice to be with you
And when I look at you
You know what I want from you
Tuca Tuca … Tuca Tuca … Tuca Tuca
It’s called: ooh! Tuca Tuca, Tuca
I made it up myself
To be able to tell you:
“I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, darling”
I like you, ah-ah!
I like you, ah-ah-ah!
And when I look at you,
You know what I want from you
And when I look at you,
You know what I want from you
And when you look at me
I know what you want from me
