Titolo: Paninaro

Does this mean anything in Italian? It's a Pet Shop Boys song (they
seem to say "paninero").

 seem to say "paninero").
oltre a significare venditore (e a volte farcitore!) di panini, dalle mie 
parti i "paninari" sono gli adolescenti degli anni ottanta, che vestivano in 
un certo modo, ascoltavano certa musica... insomma, ogni tanto qui sembra 
avere anche una connotazione "ironica" il termine "paninaro".

Yes. It's a now-defunct category of youth, much as mods
or bovver boys are. 80s to 90s, iirc.

Those boasters who are nowadays called "fighetti" who, long time ago in the
eighties, used to dress
fancy clothes and do certain things just to be distinguished from everyone
else :)

"One who eats panini"
It doesn't mean just that, of couse! ;)

Also, I think "paninari" was the name of an '80es band...
The Paninari (fashion group) "standard uniform" (mid-80es) was
brightly-colored "Moncler"-brand winter duvet jackets, "timberland"
shoes, short blue jeans ("Closed" brand) and tartan-colored socks.
Yes, I was a teenager at the time, and remember it all very, very well.
They used to come from upper-middle class families and incarnate
certain "soft" right-wing bourgoeis ideologies, without being too
convinced, in any case. Mostly, they believed in nothing but going to
the disco on Sunday afternoons.
No wonder their "arch-enemies" were heavy-metal fans ("metallari") and
"darks". :)

Una cosa che trovo inquietante e' che alcuni di quei termini io li uso 
comunemente... e non mi e' ben chiaro se siano entrati a far parte del 
linguaggio comune, se gia' lo fossero prima o se sono io che sono stato 
troppo esposto al fenomeno 20 anni :P

 Huh? You mean "you had to wear a Monclair"?
thanks, I've seen now it is not used in this case. I memorized it with the
meaning "to put on clothes" without noticing the right usage.
I've just read this good explanation:

Are you sure? Because it'd be remarkable how many words dating from those
very years have been retained. Here, at least... ("camomillati" included).

Never heard! 
Perhaps it'a word they use in Northern Italy.
