Funiculì, Funiculà

"Funiculì, Funiculà" is a famous Italian song, originally composed for the funicular of Mount Vesuvius. The music has been used in many productions since then, including Muppet ones.

The Placido Flamingo song, "The Telephone of Brazil" is sung to the tune. The song was also parodied in episode 4115 of Sesame Street where Elmo, Zoe and Big Bird sang a song about the letter H and it was used for Elmo's pizza song for the Singing Pizza Elmo toy. A band of accordion players also performed the song for Telly in episode 3843 of Sesame Street.
