Believe it or not, there are a lot of songs about gelato. Although it’s not the most common of subjects among singers and songwriters -they apparently are all very busy discussing late-adolescent-naive topics such as love, life and pain- a bunch of folks actually took some time to write and record some tracks about the creamy, delicious stuff.
And since we’re so passionate about the subject, we took some time and listed a few below, but the quest shall continue in the upcoming days.
