as a kid every Sunday on the Victrola this was played and we all sang it .. best days of my life , with my Italian grand parents ..

This was my Napoledan granmpa's favorite song - he loved music more than anything, and he used this folksong to propagandize us grandchildren into learning to play musical instruments. "A-Zinga-Zing, u-Plinga-Pling, Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa, u-frischoletto, tipiti tipiti ta!" 50 years after his death, one of his granddaughters is an acclaimed composer of contemporary serious music. I think Grampa would be very proud

There are a lot of similarities between Neapoletan and Sicilian dialect.

My dad used to sing us this song when we were kids.....,and you're right, it got us interested in music...I was about 3 years old...he was a musician......3 out of his 4 kids play at least 1 instrument...I did professionally for over 30 years......

Excellent way to learn a few Italian words!! Thanks so much!

Brings back good memories

...good way to learn Italian...I remember this song from my early yout' (ca 4 or 5 years old - 1954 - '55) in August during the saint Rocco feast in Fort Lee, NJ...

On this day in 1953 {November 1st} "Eh, Cumpari!" by Julius La Rosa peaked at #2 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Best Sellers in Stores chart, the week it was at #2, the #1 record for that week was "Vaya Con Dios" by Les Paul and Mary Ford... Between 1953 and 1958 the Brooklyn, NY native at eleven charted records according to Billboard Magazine, two made the Top 10, besides the above "Eh, Cumpari!", his other Top 10 record was "Anywhere I Wander" {#4 in 1953}... Mr. La Rosa passed away at the age of 86 on May 12th, 2016... May he R.I.P.

A song that WILL make you smile and make you think you're having an ice cream on a summer day when you're age 6. :)

RIP Julius LaRosa.

Love

Love it

Wonderfull. :)))

This guys awesome! Lol thanks for sharing?

I love the approach of translating the lyrics by just showing pictures of each instrument instead of writing it all out in English. :D Kinda works with the original song better that way too, 'cos the song just tells you what each instrument is by PLAYING it. So, this is basically the visual version of what the song does with sound. :)

Dank Gott for KZread -- da gibt's Musik

questa canzuni é calabrisi.....

In which dialect are the subtitles??
