The midge waltz
Beppone snores placidly in the garden and on his big nose a gnat improvises a waltz, in the enchantment of the music played by the wind. To make the magic vanish comes a cat who sweeps away the poor gnat. The waltz of the gnat is a song by the 10th Zecchino d'Oro (1968). It was the debut of Cristina d'Avena who sang it when he was only 3 years old and then was part of the Piccolo Coro dell'Antoniano until 1976.
The Peppina coffee
La Peppina coffee recipe she definitely went down in history thanks to all her extravagance. In fact, who would ever put half a kilo of onions and seven butterfly wings in coffee? It is one of the most famous and funniest songs of the Zecchino d'Oro. It was part of the 13th edition of the show (1971).
How does the crocodile do it?
'How does the crocodile do it? There is no one who knows! It is said that he eats too much, he never wears his coat, that he stings with his teeth, that he cries very often, but when he is calm, how does 'am I crocodile?'. Among all the sounds of animals in this song that of the crocodile is destined to remain mysterious. Il crocodile come fa is an excerpt from the 36th Zecchino d'Oro (1994).
Forty-four cats
What they argue about 44 cats in the cellar of a building? Comfortable armchairs and guaranteed meals. And at the end of the meeting, all marching proudly in the courtyard, strictly in a row of six with the rest of two. Ownerless kittens have very few requests: one meal a day and, on occasion, being able to sleep in armchairs. Forty-four cats is a song from the tenth edition of the Zecchino d'Oro (1968).
The naughty alarm clock
How naughty, this alarm clock that every morning - very punctual - get the whole family out of bed. Fortunately, at least on Sundays he is silent! The naughty alarm clock is a song from the 15th edition of the Zecchino d'Oro (1973).
For a little finger in the phone
What happen if the little brother plays with the phone? The firefighters, the medical guard, the police and the carabinieri arrive ready to put the whole family in handcuffs! For a little finger on the phone it is the chronicle of a very comic disaster. It is a song from the ninth edition of the Zecchino d'Oro (1967).
Grandma Pina's tagliatelle
Grandma Pina's noodles are a fantastic energy recharge for super busy children who, in addition to school, have a thousand commitments, from English lessons to kung-fu training. Children, too stressed, they would like to eat grandma Pina's tagliatelle also for breakfast, as they are apparently far more effective than any medicine.
I wanted a black cat
To have a black cat, how many other animals are you willing to offer in return? A real crocodile, a real giraffe, an Indian elephant with a full canopy… and the list goes on and on. But will the deal go through? Or will disagreement spell the end of a friendship? I wanted a black cat is a song by the 11th Zecchino d'Oro (1969).
Cocco and Drilli
Cocco and Drilli are two crocodiles in love living in Morocco. But one bad day comes a hunter who wants to turn them into handbags, wallets and beauty-cases. All the crocodiles in the river unite to scare the hunter who wanted to kidnap Drilli and manage to make him escape. A song that tells a story with a happy ending presented at the 16th Zecchino d'Oro (1974).
Katalicammello
The Katalicamello it is the most ecological camel there is. It is able to run on solar energy, is naturally environmentally friendly and could become the best solution to save yourself from traffic. It certainly makes children a lot of fun and does not pollute because it does not have an exhaust pipe. Il Katalicammello is a song by the 40th Zecchino d'Oro (1997).
