Un po' di ironia da parte di Phil e Willie in questa canzone, ispirata all'episodio "Terapie alternative".A bit of irony from Phil and Willie in this song, inspired by the episode "Alternative Therapies".Lyrics:- Don't worry, I'll do everything. I'll do everything, yeah.What I know for sure is that I have to try.I try to make the prosaic ritual that follows reassuring. I gently help her to get rid of her clothes. It's not easy for me to get by on my own in this situation: only someone who has made love in a Fiat Uno and is over six feet tall can understand me.I think it could have been worse, a Panda for example.She observes my gestures between fascinated and dazed and absolutely does not cooperate, in fact she looks at me amazed when I recline the seat.When I try to get rid of the pants she has a new fit of tears and clings to me, stopping my hand. All right, I tell her, let's do it with jeans on, but I don't think it's going to go very well.She laughs between sobs, you're really stupid...
