release date: 1986 chart: UK #-, US #- "Paninaro" was originally released as a B-side to the 1986 single "Suburbia". In 1995, a re-recording titled "Paninaro '95" was released to promote the B-side compilation album "Alternative". The song is about the 1980s Italian youth subculture known as the paninari; derived from the word panino (Italian for "sandwich"), they were known for congregating in restaurants serving sandwiches and in the first US-style fast food restaurants, as well as their preference for designer clothing and 1980s pop music, such as the New Romantic music of Italo disco. Neil Tennant has said that they were drawn to the concept due to having shared those preferences. The song was released in Italy as a limited edition 12" single, featuring the Pet Shop Boys Remix (Disco album version) and an exclusive remix by Ian Levine. promotional video Directed by: Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant |
