About My Friend Dario

"My Friend Dario" is the first single from Vitalic's debut album, OK Cowboy. It is the first single from Vitalic to use "Brigitte", a vocal synthesis program. "No Fun", which is another track on OK Cowboy, also uses Brigitte. The music video for "My Friend Dario" features a band mimicking instrumentation; the guitarists play air guitar and the drummer air drums. The lack of band instruments in the video reflect a statement made on Vitalic's website; that the instruments on his album OK Cowboy are entirely synthesized and that "the only thing he can't fake is the emotion that galvanizes his music. " The maxi-CD version of the single includes a live cover of Daniel Miller's "Warm Leatherette", performed on BBC Radio 1. The cover was later included in a collector's edition of OK Cowboy. In an interview with Pascal Arbez in CMJ New Music Monthly, Arbez dialoged: [Interviewer:] What can your alterego "Dario" do that you haven't been able to do? [Interviewee:] When he finally has a crash, because he drives like a brainless kid, he dies. But it is not real because it is just a song. It has no impact. As far as I am concerned, I try to make my own excesses, which are real, not leading to a sad end.

My friend Dario
Has a super racer car
Drives too fast
Drives to flash
Screeching on the tarmac

Echoes in his head
Then, in his face
Drives too fast
Doesn't care about the crash

Dario knows it's prohibited
You either driver or a trainer
But he dresses for pleasure
Downs a bottle before each trip

My friend Dario has a super racer car
Drives too fast
Drives to flash
Doesn't care about the crash

My friend Dario has a super racer car
Drives too fast
Doesn't care about the crash
