Abile nel non lasciare tracce, nel coltivare protezioni e connivenze, lui e la sua gang internazionale la fecero franca sino all'ultimo.

First, all the heavy instrumental parts, beautiful though they be, would have to be removed. Th! en there was the matter of the meter: the original recording is a basic dumbass-country shuffle any chimp could replicate -- but why not make it BOUNCY?! Indeed, surely a band as worldly and flagrantly exotic as CVB would not mind having one of their finest tunes adapted to a more uppity 2/4?!?! And so that too was decided.
