i Puffi (aka The Smurfs)

That's right, folks. In my journey of interculturalism, I have discovered that The Smurfs were exported to Italy and were called i Puffi (singular: il Puffo). At karaoke on Friday night (is was not very good, Stephen...) Gabry and Valentina broke into the theme song. I couldn't, at that moment, recall The Smurfs theme song. I can remember the 'laa laa luh la la la" bit and I can assure you that the Italian theme song is completely different. There was clapping and syncopation and lots of lyrics.

And, in case you weren't sure, it was hilarious to be in a quasi-Mexican-themed restaurant in Ireland with two Italian women singing and dancing to a cartoon theme-song while *bad* karaoke was going on behind us.
