Campari Soda is a song of the Swiss band Taxi released in 1977. It was written by Dominique Grandjean who works as a psychiatrist today.

Writing and inspiration

The song is sung in the Swiss German dialect of Zurich and deals with the incomparable feeling of flying and the painful longing of the faraway. The first lines of the song read as follows:

Ich nime no'n Campari soda

Wit under mir liit's Wolkemeer

De Ventilator summet liisli

Es isch as gäbs mich nüme mee

English translation:

I take another Campari soda

The sea of clouds lies underneath me

The fan is humming quietly

It is as if I didn't exist any longer

Composition

The dreamy singing is underlain by unostentatious piano sounds. The song begins with a saxophone-solo.

Chart performance

In 2006, the song experienced a revival, when it was used in an advertising spot of the Swiss International Air Lines and released as a single for the first time because of the remarkable success of the advertisement. "Campari Soda" debuted at #6 on December 12, 2006. It rose to and peaked at #3 in its fourth week. The song spent a total of 35 weeks on the Swiss Singles Chart.[1]

Cover versions and adaptations

The song was unsuccessful during its original release. Campari Soda gained popularity only by the interpretations by numerous Swiss musicians, among others Stephan Eicher, Span, Doppelganger. Golden Boy and Miss Kittin covered "Campari Soda" for their 2002 album Or.[1]
