Aaahhh, the language of Italian.  This is a familiar ditty and ends with a 
lovely commentary in Italian, which I don't speak, but which rolls off the 
tongue very nicely.

I included some explanation so I can be removed, if only for this post, from 
the group that posts links with no written context....


"Funiculì, Funiculà" is a famous Neapolitan song written 
by Italian journalist Peppino Turco and set to music by Italian composer Luigi 
Denza in 1880. It was composed to commemorate the opening of the 
first funicular cable car on Mount Vesuvius. The 1880 cable car was later 
destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 1944." - Wikipedia
