So whenever you hear this memorable samba, think of that persistent little sparrow atop a pile of cornmeal. She offered it birdseed – and let the cat out to chase it – but to no avail. There are plenty of earthworms and fruit to eat, but tico-tico prefers her dwindling supply of cornmeal. And like so many birds, tico-tico was named for its song Back to the lyrics: It seems the bird with the musical name, tico-tico, keeps coming back to the singer’s yard to dine on her cornmeal, piled in a backyard granary. The Rufous-collared Sparrow is a handsome, familiar backyard bird found through much of Latin America. The Portuguese lyrics tell the story of the tico-tico, a local name for the Rufous-collared Sparrow. Believe it or not, the song is about a bird. The song is Tico-Tico no Fubá and, like Carmen Miranda, came to us from Brazil. Stream ad-free or purchase CDs and MP3s now on. But its global popularity, launched in Hollywood, came later. Can you name that tune? Here’s a hint: Carmen Miranda – adorned with her signature fruit basket of a hat – danced and sang this lively samba alongside Groucho Marx in the 1947 movie Copacabana.
