Dancing to this summer tune of ‘Ritissima’: an overwhelming surf (60s dance) that was launched worldwide by Trini Lopez. But the song was written by Pete Seeger, an American folk singer.
Rita took second place immediately in the HitParade, then went on to be among the top 60 best-selling records of the year. Winning without a doubt was the light-heartedness of the lyrics where Rita asked for a hammer to give it to someone she didn’t like.
