"C'era un ragazzo che come me amava i Beatles e i Rolling Stones" ('There was a young man who, just like me, loved the Beatles and the Rolling Stones') is a song composed by Mauro Lusini and Franco Migliacci, and performed by Gianni Morandi. The song premiered at the third , in which Morandi presented the song in couple with the author Lusini.[1] A protest ballad against Vietnam war, it was censored by RAI television and radio for being polemic towards the policies of an allied state.[1][2] The B-side of the single is "Se perdo anche te", a cover of Neil Diamond's "Solitary Man".[1] Both songs are arranged by Ennio Morricone.

The single peaked at first place for three consecutive weeks in February 1967 on the Italian hit parade.[3]

The song was later covered by several artists, including Joan Baez, Lucio Dalla, Fiorello, Os Incríveis, Engenheiros do Hawaii, Poyushchiye Gitary and Yegor Letov.
