"Zum zum zum" is a song written by Bruno Canfora and Antonio Amurri as an opening theme for the 1968 television program Canzonissima, when all the participants performed it in chorus.[2]

The song was originally recorded by Italian singer Mina, who was the host of the show. Her version was released as a single, but only reached number 20 on the Italian chart. The B-side was the song "Sacumdi sacumdà", which is the Italian version of the Portuguese song "" by Carlos Imperial.[3] At the same time, the French version of the song "", performed by Brigitte Bardot, among others, became popular in Europe.[4] [5] In 1970, Mina recorded the Portuguese version for the album Mina canta o Brasil.
