This classic bit of Italian opera made perfect sense as a song for Italian international Paolo Di Canio in 1999.

Highly questionable as tune for Icelandic international Hermann Hreidarsson in 2001, but he had just scored against West Ham to level the match after Di Canio got the opener, so I let that one go.

As a tune for Iraqi international Ali Al-Hamadi in 2024 it is utterly absurd. Surely we can do better?

It always makes me think of Maggie Thatcher, but that's more down to my poor grasp of Italian than anything else.

(I always thought it was immobileé, i.e. not for turning.)

And apparently 'tarte au citron' isn't a ho in a 2CV.

Allahu akbar is a bit of banger, but I don't want to risk offending a billion Muslims.

Learning of it in the Eighties I thought of it as a female Loadsamoney as in:

"The lady is upwardly mobile".
