In 2003, Elio e le Storie Tese won the Best Italian Videoclip award at the Italian Music Awards of Federation of the Italian Music Industry for the videoclip of the song.[3]
In the same year, the band released a remixed vinyl record of the single titled "Shpalman® RMX", which sees the collaboration, among others, of Gabry Ponte.[4]
The song tells the story of a superhero that, to defeat villains, douses their faces with excrement. It is written by the band's keyboard player Rocco Tanica, along with Italian singer Max Pezzali as a guest.[5] The music video is a parody of the Le Vibrazioni's "Dedicato a te" video.[6]
