Life Is a Minestrone

Life Is a Minestrone is the title of a song recorded and released by British band 10cc in March 1975. It was written by band members Eric Stewart and Lol Creme and was the lead single from their third studio album The Original Soundtrack, released around the same time.

The single reached no.7 in the UK in April 1975 and became the group's sixth Top 30 and fifth Top 10 hit.

The B-side Channel Swimmer was not included on the album and remained exclusive to the 7" release until being included on the 1997 CD re-issue of The Original Soundtrack. Both tracks appear on I’m Not In Love: The Essential 10cc (2016).
