Do you all know Renato Zero? Because I like Hong Kong Counterfeit I came to know many Italodisco artists including Wish Key and Amanda Lear. I don't know if Renato Zero is considered Italodisco or not, but he became popular in the 1970s for his disco-esque songs in Italy. Today he is still singing, and I think he is a very famous personality over there!
Rather than being a 'fanart' of the singer, this sketch is more inspired by Renato Zero's stage custom and performance in the 1970s. If you can't tell, it is a man in the sketch. He seems entrance by his own reflection in the mirror.
You can see many of Renato Zero's clips on Youtube. Here are some from the 1970s that I liked:
Renato Zero - Depresso:
A riveting song! Even in black and white he is fabulous! I think he started his more 'glam' stage in 1977, and this seems before he seriously got all glammed out.
Renato Zero - Mi Vendo and Sospetto:
He was so thin! If I sat in the audience in the first row I would had been worried that he might step on me. At the end of the clip is a short snippet of Sospetto in which our dear friend Renato attempts to become a porcupine.
Renato Zero - Il Triangolo:
His costume... This song is awesome! Very epic! I'm not quite sure what he is doing wearing those triangles.... But, don't worry kids, it was only the late 1970s so everyone else was doing it too, and Renato doesn't dress like this anymore. This here is an example of "ultimate fabulous."
I suggest checking out Amanda Lear's New York and Wish Key's Orient Express as well if you enjoyed this (or even if you didn't; Wish Key is excellent).
