"Folle banderuola" (English: "Crazy weathervane") is a song written by Gianni Meccia and initially recorded by Italian singer Mina.[1] It was released as a single in 1959 and reached 18 place on the Italian chart.[2] By December 1960, sales of the single had approached 50,000 copies.[3] The song "Un disco e tu" was used as a b-side. Both songs were arranged by Giulio Libano. Later, "Folle banderuola" was included in the singer's debut album, Tintarella di luna (1960).[4]
Mina also recorded a French version called "Folle girouette" with adapted lyrics by Roger Berthier.[5]
In 1960 Mina sang it in the musical film I Teddy boys della canzone in one of the scenes.[6]
