Tico-Tico no Fubá is the title of a renowned Brazilian choro music piece composed by Zequinha de Abreu in 1917.
Its original title was Tico-Tico no Farelo, 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.
Choro (literally translated meaning lament) is also popularly known as chorinho in the affectionate diminutive form of Brazilian Portuguese.
\"Fubá\" is a type of maize flour, and \"tico-tico\" is the name of a bird, the rufous-collared sparrow (Zonotrichia capensis).
Hence, \"tico-tico no fubá\" means \"sparrow in the cornmeal\".
The first recording of the work was made by Orquestra Colbaz (Columbia 22029, 1931).
Tico-Tico no Fubá was recorded and made popular internationally by Carmen Miranda (who performed it onscreen in Copacabana (1947)) and Ray Conniff.
Another well known recording was made by first lady of the organ, Ethel Smith on the Hammond organ.
A biographical movie by the same title was produced in 1952 by the Brazilian film studio Companhia Cinematográfica Vera Cruz with Anselmo Duarte playing the main role.
The song was also featured in the \"Aquarela do Brasil\" segment of the Walt Disney film Saludos Amigos (1942) and in Woody Allen's Radio Days (1987).
It was also featured in the MGM film Bathing Beauty (1943).
The expression also features in the lyrics to the song O Pato made famous by João Gilberto.
