Overview

The song entered the main competition at the 39th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, in which it ranked seventh. [1] Described as a mixture of eurodisco and children's song, it features animal sounds reproduced using an electronic synthesizer. [2] At the Sanremo Festival, Salvi performed the song accompanied by four dancers disguised as animals. [1] La Repubblica praised the song and Salvi's performance, describing them as "a small revenge against the languid nonsense of many other songs, unleashing good humor which, in the imposing and sanctified festival setting, is still seen as transgressive and even a little sacrilegious". [3]

The song turned to be a major commercial success, ranking first on the Italian hit parade [1] and earning a gold disc for having sold over 100,000 copies within two weeks of its release. [2] [4]
