Is titled "The Vacinated”The new catchphrase of Checco Zalone, in which the Apulian comedian acts and dances next to an amazing Helen Mirren. The song, which mimics the Latin hits, actually has a noble purpose: to invite everyone to get vaccinated, because only in this way will the pandemic end.
“La Vacinada”, a social catchphrase
Set in Salento, the video of “La Vacinada” has the flavor of summer. And his text, ironic and irreverent, is the mirror of Checco Zalone. A "singer", as he defines himself, who is never vulgar. Not even when, to convey a message, he brings an unusual love to the stage. The text, in fact, tells di a young latin lover who falls in love with an old lady. The love at first sight is triggered in front of the vaccine sign, and it does not matter if the lady in question has "the zinna un pochito calada"and "the ankle a little swollen". Especially since the lady is actually Helen Mirren. Oscar for Best Actress for “The Queen - The Queen”, Helen Mirren has always made irony her banner. And he feels sincere love for Italy. "How can you not love Italy? I would like to work in any film set in Puglia. I love Checco Zalone”He said long ago, when he had already bought his house in Salento. Then, with Zalone, he really worked on it. Making fun of stereotypes, and sensitizing those who - in the face of the vaccine - still have some qualms.
Is an commercials pro vaccines, “La Vacinada”. An invitation to get vaccinated against the Coronavirus, to stop the infection and to regain our freedom. But it is also a splendid advertisement for Salento and Puglia, with its beaches, sea, farms and nature. And it is one rebellion against labels, against a "right" and a "wrong" that exists only in the eyes of those who see them. Love sets no limits on age, and beauty is never a question of age. You can fall in love with a particular, even if that particular becomes the sign of the vaccine for fun.
The lyrics of the song
It holds the zinna un poquito calada
but it does not make nada and it does not make nada
and a swollen pelitus ankle
but it does not make nada and it does not make nada
when you mueve suave and sensual
it seems that the femur is original
I like dancing with my neighbor
oh vaccine
I face to face is muchacha vetch
immunized
I aim at your film library cuerpo
with the AstraZeneca antibody
tired if it freca
Vaccinated
And I don't care what people say
even porque so much you do not feel it
no, I don't care if I'm in the morning
and you smile on my bedside table
you are the queen, you are the only goddess
porque we know that a war
every hole is a trench
Oh vaccine
I face to face is muchacha vetch
immunized
I like dancing with my neighbor
oh vaccine
I face to face is muchacha vetch
already call back
“La Vacinada”, the role of Helen Mirren
The success of “La Vacinada” lies in its rhythm, but also in its setting. In the irony of Checco Zalone, and in the extraordinary stage presence of Helen Mirren. Who in the video plays the Salento peasant and who, about her love for Italy, spoke to Velvet. During the lockdown, the actress locked herself up in her Nevada home. And she watched dozens and dozens of Italian films, in the company of her husband. "Those of Fellini because he is truly a great cinema, those of Paolo Virzì whom I love very much and with whom I have also worked. And then those of Checco Zalone because me I have a masseria in Puglia and he is from Puglia. I would love to work in any film set in Puglia. We have all seen Zalone's films, and with Tolo Tolo I did nothing but laugh”He said a few months ago. Now, here is that dream has come true.
