What is the name of the song that Pedro the raccoon dances to?

The raccoon was unknown until early April, when user @team7funny decided to take the video clip and pair it with a song by an Italian artist.

This is “Pedro” by the singer Rafaella Carrá, which, when mixed with electronic rhythms, would make the raccoon go viral.

Millions of people saw this animal dancing to the rhythm of this song and began to use it in their daily conversations through social networks.

This song was released in 1980 and was part of the album “Mi spendo tutto” and tells the story of a woman walking through Argentina who is conquered by a tour guide.

“Peter, Pedro, Pedro, Pedro, Pedro, Pe! The best of Santa Fe“, mentions one of the verses that went viral along with the raccoon.

Responsible for the revival of this song, which was successful back in the 80s, were DJ Jaxomy and Agatino Romero, who decided to give it a touch of techno and release it at the end of March.

This is how the networks led Raffaella Maria Roberta Pelloni to go viral with her song. This artist was born on June 18, 1943 and died on July 5, 2021 in Rome.

In addition to being a composer, she was also a dancer, actress and presenter, which is why she gained great recognition in the Italian entertainment world; to the point that she was considered the “Queen of Television” and pop icon in Europe and Latin America.
