(Zequinha
de Abreu)
This song was possibly the
composer's most famous and first appeared at a dance in his hometown
that he and his orchestra were playing at. At the time it was un-named, but
when the dancers first heard it they danced and spun so much that it became
originally known as Tico-Tico no Farelo. It was later named Tico-Tico no Fuba which is literally translated as "Crown
Sparrow in the Cornmeal", and is now normally just known as
Tico-Tico. It was brought to
fame in the United States
when it was sung by Carmen Miranda in the 1947 film Copacabana and Walt Disney
used it in the 1943 film Saludos Amigos.
