The audio is a little dicey here, but the part "here lies a man who's happy in his grave" is part of the intro of a podcast called "Oh, no! Lit Class", and it was so catchy that I just had to look it up. Very sweet song! I love it!

You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

One of my favorite songs by The Doors, for its lyrics.

I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
a fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
and celluloid heroes never really die...

Here's one of my favorite songs from the Kinks, Celluloid Heroes, from 1972. Also a fitting song for this forum :)

Claudia Mori singing Chi non lavora non fa l'amore [Who doesn't work doesn't make love] in 1970. She's married to Adriano Celentano.

For whatever reason, I keep getting the 1970 World Cup theme song stuck in my head. Turn on captions for English translation:

She recorded an English version called Sorrow (note, this isn't a translation of the Spanish one):
