Draft:Sbucciami

"Sbucciami", is a 1979 song by Italian singer-songwriter Cristiano Malgioglio. It is the opening track to his eponymous album of the same year, and the only single released from the album, with the song Quando fuori piove as its B-side. It is one of Malgioglio's best known songs, as well as one of the most successful ones; it was written by Malgioglio himself and Corrado Castellari. The song also appears in many of Malgioglio's compilation albums.

Background
"Sbucciami" is a pop ballad with a vaguely disco-inspired atmosphere, as it was quite common at the time it was released. The song's lyrics play over sexual innuendos, with the narrator comparing himself to a fruit. Despite Malgioglio being openly gay, the gender of the lover is never specified through the song. Because of its lyrics, the song is considered a trash-kitsch classic by the audience.

In 2006, Malgioglio released a remixed version of the song in Spanish, titled Pélame; it featured the then-debuting Cuban band M5.
