Pugia

Questa canzone riprende una famosa canzone popolare intitolata The Ants Go Marching One by One che veniva cantata dai soldati nella seconda metà dell'Ottocento durante la Guerra di secessione americana.

Col tempo ha cambiato la sua accezione diventando un'altrettanto famosa canzone usata per insegnare i numeri ai bambini insieme ai nomi degli animali.

Recentemente è stata utilizzata come colonna sonora del nuovo spot per la Seat Altea XL. L'auto in se non mi piace, però lo spot è veramente eccezionale!
