I don't especially like this song, but I think the aesthetic is very clean. Though the elements are outrageous; glitter, gold jewelry, the video editing -- I feel like the overall effect is very minimal. I like it very much. It's the perfect mood for today.

Amanda Lear is the daughter of an Englishman and a Russian exile. She studied art in Paris and in the 60s moved to London. During this period she got to know the most prominent designers, musicians and artists belonging to the artistic circles she frequented. Her preferences were predominantly for the Surrealist movement and for bodily expression, since she has also studied the art of mime.
The meeting with Dali changed her life.
