The song, "Una Vita in Vacanza," by Lo Stato Sociale, was this year's 2nd place winner at Italy's famous Sanremo Festival. This is not surprising, as it's a catchy song, with a "who cares, let's enjoy life" kind of vibe - something very familiar to Italian culture! The song's popularity was boosted with the inclusion of a performance by 83-year-old dancer, Paddy Jones, during the group's Sanremo presentation. Jones was there to represent the lyric, "la vecchia che balla" ("the old lady that dances"), found in the song's chorus. It is definitely a sight to see!
