Could anybody so inclined please jump over to youtube, and take a look at this video for me: [1]. It's hilarious anyway, so it'll be worth it. What I want to know is the name / artist of the song. Thanks in advance. Willnz0 09:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to the comments on YouTube, it's System Addict by Five Star. Skarioffszky 09:59, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tiritomba,a song, would like an English translation of the title – — … ° ≈ ≠ ≤ ≥ ± − × ÷ ← → · § 66.32.21.199 19:37, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What language is it?--Kirby♥time 05:11, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Italian. There's a famous old recording of it by Josef Schmidt. On the sleeve notes to the LP I have in my collection, it's called "an Italian folk song". JackofOz 05:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page seems to suggest it is a Neapolitan folk song, translated as The Carnival. Rockpocket 06:02, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And here's a pretty catchy modern performance. I've Googled for the meaning, but no luck so far. Rockpocket, I suspect that English-language version you found gives it a name ("The Carnival") that is not meant to be a translation of the word "Tiritomba" - but I'm no Italian expert.

Yeah, I thought as much. I'm not sure if it has a literal translation, my attempts using online translation tools proved fruitless. I'm sure someone at Wikipedia:WikiProject Italy, or for that matter the language desk, could shed some light on the matter. Rockpocket 18:29, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Without knowing anything about the song (and unable to listen to YouTube from here) – old Italian songs often have nonsense syllables like tiri. —Tamfang 22:35, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
