"Vamos a la playa" (English: Let's go to the beach) is a song by the Italian Italo disco duo Righeira, released as a single in 1983. With Spanish lyrics, it was written by Stefano Righi and Carmelo La Bionda.[2] The song became the duo's first number one single, topping the charts in Switzerland,[3] while also reaching number 53 on the UK Singles Chart.[4] Despite its ostensibly innocuous beach theme, the song actually talks about the explosion of an atomic bomb.[5]
