Tico-Tico no fubá (rufous-collared sparrow in the cornmeal") is a Brazilian choro song written by
Zequinha de Abreu in 1917. Its original title was "Tico-Tico no farelo" ("sparrow in the bran"), but
since Brazilian guitarist Américo Jacomino "Canhoto" (1889–1928) had a work with the same
title,Abreu's work was given its present name in 1931, and sometime afterward Aloysio de Oliveira
wrote the original Portuguese lyrics..
Outside Brazil, the song reached its peak popularity in the 1940s, with successful recordings by Ethel
Smith, The Andrews Sisters (with English-language lyrics by Ervin Drake), Carmen Miranda and
others.
