Wikipedia article
"'Amico '" is a 1983 song composed by Dario Baldan Bembo (music), Nini Giacomelli and Sergio Bardotti (lyrics), and performed by Baldan Bembo and Caterina Caselli.
A hymn to friendship, "Amico " was the ending theme song of the Mike Bongiorno's quiz show 'SuperFlash'. The song was also linked to a contest organized by the magazine 'TV Sorrisi e Canzoni', in which the readers should have identified four popular singers hidden among the choirs; in the last episode of the television show it was revealed they were Pupo, Ornella Vanoni, Giuni Russo and Gigliola Cinquetti.
Outside its immediate success, later the song became a widely spread football chant.
In the 1982 album 'Spirito della Terra', Baldan Bembo included a different version of the song titled "Fal" and featuring Riccardo Fogli and Marcella Bella. The song was also covered by numerous artists, including Kikki Danielsson and Kjell Roos in a Swedish version titled "Vem gr med dig hem" and Celine Dion in a French version titled "Hymne l'amiti".
