The song, which has an ironical and explicit depiction of a sexual threesome between two men and a woman as main theme, raised large controversies at the time of its release.[1][2]
Zero also recorded the song in Spanish as "Triàngulo", with lyrics by Lopez de Toledo, and in English as "Sexy Party".[1] A duet version with Raffaella Carrà was released in the album Sei Zero.[1]
