After a long period of professional crisis and a poorly received professional comeback at the
Sanremo Music Festival 1980 with "Mariù", "Canzoni stonate" proved to be Morandi's true career revival. The song was originally composed by Aldo Donati as "Canzone per chi la vuole" ("Song for those who want it"), with lyrics by veteran songwriter Silvestro Longo. The launch of the song proved to be difficult, as
RCA Italiana's artistic director initially preferred the B-side of the single "Immaginando". The song marked the return to hit parade for Morandi, and while it failed to enter the top ten, it became a long-seller and eventually a classic, especially after entering the repertoire of nightclubs and
piano bars. ==Track listing==
