Italians always like to list off things that they hate about their country and love about other ones and I'm usually on the listening end of it. However, I would like to point out one example where I think Italy and Europe in general are better at and that's music. I love that music in Europe is not limited to the language of the country that you live in, instead over here in Canada I'm forced to listen to the Anglo-fied version of "Bailando" by Enrique and it just pains my little heart. Why not leave the Spanish lyrics?! On the radio right now, there are no songs that are non-English. There are hardly ever non-English songs, I can't remember if there ever has been one recently. The top song in Italy at the moment is actually a French song (surprising considering what a hard time Italians give the French and vice versa in their eternal rivalry for being the most fashionable/best cooks/best lovers and the list goes on...). I hate how English-centric we are in North America so Italy is always a treat because I might hear an Italian song, then a French one, then Spanish, and all of a sudden Sam Hunt comes on and blows my mind ("Take Your Time" is #11 on MTV Italia's Hitlist, this is not a joke).
