"Chi non lavora non fa l'amore" (lit. 'Those who do not work do not make love') is a 1970 song written by Adriano Celentano, Luciano Beretta and Miki Del Prete. It won the 20th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival with a double performance by Celentano and Claudia Mori.

Reception

The song's lyrics, which satirized the labor fights of the period, turned to be controversial both among critics and collegues such as Sergio Endrigo. Lietta Tornabuoni described it as "obnoxious, expressing the hostility of the petty bourgeoisie to the struggles of the working class." Beyond its political undertones, the song was also accused of depicting the marriage as a mere commodity exchange if not some form of legalized prostitution, and for its musical structure, too similar to the previous Celentano-Mori 1967 hit "La coppia più bella del mondo". Positive reviews underlined its irony and its comic wit.
