"Ma quale idea" ("But What Idea") is a song written and performed by Italian singer Pino D'Angiò from his debut studio album, ...Balla! (1981). The song was arranged by jazz musician Enrico Intra. The single was an international success, selling over 2 million copies. Despite the common belief that the bassline of the track was taken from "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" by McFadden & Whitehead, D'Angiò claimed that he composed it independently along with the bassist Stefano Cerri. The song was later sampled in Madison Avenue's 1999 hit "Don't Call Me Baby".
