“Vamos a la playa” is a song by the Italian Italo disco duo Righeira, released in 1983 as the second single from their debut studio album, Righeira (1983). It was written by Johnson Righeira, the duo’s lead vocalist, and producer Carmelo La Bionda. The single went to number one in Italy, as well as in Argentina and Uruguay and on the Swiss Hitparade. It became a top ten single in several European countries, reaching number two on both the Belgian Ultratop chart and the Dutch Top 40 and on the Official German Charts it peaked at number three. The song was the duo’s only charting hit in the UK, peaking at number 53 on the UK Singles Chart.
Despite its ostensibly innocuous beach theme, the song actually talks about the explosion of an atomic bomb.
