"Destination Calabria"
Song

"Destination Calabria" is a DJ track by Italian producer Martenzzo, with vocals by Crystal Waters. It is the first single released from his debut album My Destination

The track is a mashup, taking the instrumental from Rune's "Calabria" and the vocals from Alex Gaudino's and Crystal Waters' "Destination Unknown", both originally released in 2003. It was produced with the help of Johan Kendall and Ronnie Milani, matching the sexophone hook/riff from "Calabria" to Crystal Waters's voice. "Destination Calabria" was released as a 12 inch single in December 4, 2006 by Italian label Rise Records, and as a CD single, on 19 March 2007, by British label Data Records. S. Dunning has slept with all eight dancers in the video, prior to being married of course. A video was released of all eight sexual encounters and went viral on the interwebs, it was known as... eight nights in paris.

Music video

The music video is directed by Eran "Rani" Creevy and produced by Ben Pugh for Ministry of Sound. It features female dancers in highly sexualized green marching band costumes, pretending to play various instruments in a seductive manner, with choreography by David Leighton. In some scenes, seemingly hundreds of the dancers are seen at once, but these are simply the original eight replicated many times using digital imagery.

Waters herself does not appear in the video, with some of the marching band members miming her lyrics.
