"Funiculì, Funiculà" (IPA: [funikuˈli ffunikuˈla]) is a famous Neapolitan song composed in 1880 by Luigi Denza to lyrics by Peppino Turco. It was written to commemorate the opening of the first funicular cable car on Mount Vesuvius. It was presented by Turco and Denza at the Piedigrotta festival the same year. The sheet music was published by Ricordi and sold over a million copies within a year. It has been widely adapted and recorded since its publication.

Written in 1880 and probably the most joyous thing I have ever heard. And all about a sky tram!

Love this piece. Can't listen to the Mario Lanza version without thinking of Peter Jackson's movie "Heavenly Creatures."

And now it’s time for Classy Songs With Larry. The part of the show when Larry comes out and sings a classy song.

Luigi Denza composed this song in 1880 and dedicated it to the new funicular(railway), in Naples

[Suntzu]

This is certainly my favorite recording of the song. Enjoy it far more than Pavarotti's version

[benjordan]

Where can I get the sheet music for *THIS* particular version? I gotta have it!

[serene_shepherd]

Where did these lyrics come from? They're very different than the actual Italian lyrics. I'm not even sure they're italian, but compare to other versions or the lyrics on Wikipedia...?

[pedroebarbosac]

Can some one please explain me why there are two versions of the same song? Different introductions and verses?
