Dik Dik is an Italian beat/pop-rock band, named after the antelope Dik-dik,[1] formed in the 1960s and still active. They were most popular in the late 1960s, when they released a string of hit singles with the contribution of renowned lyric-writer Mogol and songwriter Lucio Battisti,[2][3] their greatest successes being "Sognando la California" and "Senza luce", respectively covers of "California Dreamin'" by the Mamas and Papas and "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum.[4] While their early production is mostly inspired by the Beatles, in the 1970s they also experimented in other genres, including progressive rock.[2][5] They went on hiatus in the 1980s but later returned to the scene, mostly in revival television shows and live performances.
