Hanno ucciso l'Uomo Ragno

The lyrics present the death of Spider-Man as a strange public crisis. At first, people hear the news in a bar; then the police dismiss it, while people in the streets become frightened and stay home. The mood shifts from playful mystery to social criticism: the song suggests that people have lost trust and no longer feel protected.

The repeated question of who killed Spider-Man has no clear answer. The lyrics jokingly suggest both criminals and advertising, even hinting that he may have upset a coffee company. This absurd uncertainty makes the hero’s death feel less like a solved crime and more like a symbol. The “gangs” of stressed office workers suggest that ordinary business life can seem competitive and threatening, too.

The song may be mourning the loss of a brave, recognizable hero, while also questioning what modern society treats as heroic. Magazine models and handsome actors are called the heroes people admire, in contrast with Spider-Man, who “was a star” but cannot return. The tone stays comic and exaggerated, so the lyrics need not be read as a literal attack on any particular group. The irony leaves open whether the main target is fear, consumer culture, or society’s dependence on heroes.
