"I Like Chopin" is a song by Italian singer Gazebo. It was produced in Italy in 1983 by Pierluigi Giombini. It is generally regarded as one of the most significant Italo disco tracks of the mid-1980s. It peaked at number one in several European national charts. The music was composed by Giombini (contrary to popular belief without themes from Chopin). The lyrics were written by Gazebo.
