I've been having this obsession with this little children's song for the last few days...We've been learning to sing it with a class, so that's most probably why...I love it, it was sung the first time at the Zecchino d'Oro Festival in 1993 and it's one of the adults' favourites too in children's songs category. The Zecchino d'Oro Festival is an international song festival for children really popular in Italy, I always watch it. The choir is that of the Antoniano's Theatre in Bologna and they're great! I'll also post the video with the two little boys who first sang it (Carlo Andrea Masciadri and Gabriele Patriarca) and that of an Italian famous comediant who sang it for the 50th edition of the festival (Nino Frassica whom I love). Enjoy and share my newest obsession! And yes...I am a bit crazy, I know!;)
