"I Like Chopin" is a song by Italian singer-songwriter Gazebo from his debut studio album, Gazebo (1983). It peaked at number one in several European national charts. The music was composed by Pierluigi Giombini (contrary to what the title implies, without themes from Chopin) and the lyrics were written by Gazebo.
