History Lesson:
From the late 70s to the late 90s, Italy imported a lot of anime during the late 70s and onward. Many of the shows imported would get a new opening theme song, usually as a result of airing on a channel owned by Mediaset.
They started doing that to sell albums of said openings without paying the original owners. Nevertheless, these opening themes were extremely popular with the Italian youth of yesteryear, what with the overbeat music and catchy lyrics. To this day, people still make new covers of these songs and all of the original singers also regularly do live shows at nerd convention.
Here we have the Italian opening (TV-size) for the 1960s anime, Golden Bat (黄金 バット, Ōgon Batto) or as the character is know in Italy, Fantaman, sung by Douglas Meakin. (1981)
