"tico-tico no fubá" means "tico-tico on the cornmeal".

Spanning the globe to bring you trivia you cannot use -

I caught the movie Copacabana on the Independant channel over the weekend wherein Carman Miranda sang Tico Tico no Fubar.....Its a song by Abreu in 1917. This is a Marz Brothers movie and..well its pretty good. Here is the trailer



A few years back the Chicago Symphony opened the Carnegie Hall season with a concert the likes of which New York gets about once a century.  The CSO is a one in a million orchestra. In its halcyon days it had the greatest collection of first chair virtuosos anywhere...they got old and were replaced by young talent that is really something...anyway here they are playing that Tico Tico...you'll love it....well hopefully you will. good morning.
