How about a translation, for the benefit of us monolingual English-speaking types?
It's really a Greek translation of the Italian original:
Sadly for me, I can understand both perfectly. A translation? They simply say "[On the radio] there is a little chick, the chick went chirp, the chick went chirp x5", then they add other animals that go with their verses in a cascading style "There also was a sheep, the sheep went baaah, the dog went woof, the cat went meow, and the chick went chirp x5"...until a tractor comes and squashes the chick. If there truly is no official English translation of it yet, congratulations. Enjoy it while it lasts.
@Jodwin: heh, we all wish.
Edit: OK, so apparently this was some sort of big fad/meme in Italy this summer. For all the relations I have with Italy, I didn't really notice it :-/
wow, this is something, my ex had autism, and well, it turned out that it all was like that, in some sense. wierd shit among us that is damn atracative - that is how some things survive, nature is cool
It might be the "world's cutest dog", but for me it definitively crosses into the Uncanny Valley when it takes certain postures or moves in a certain way.
There's another video of Boo which has mostly stills of it, there it doesn't look nearly as creepy. But on a moving video...or worse, on a video when it doesn't move even for a sec....damn...
My god, i heard it just a little piece of it time ago (never knowing expect is famous as like as the gan gnam style phenomenon here in Italy) and good god, it's fucking horrible. Stupid text, horrible music, just the "normalfag" people in my country are kind of really stupid sometimes....
and now i hate you maes for posting it... also i don't even known it became so famous to reach other countries over Italy....

I wonder what you would think of this ;-)
For the non-Italian speaking, it's a song that makes fun of all nerd stereotypes (being unwashed, a swot, always studying, unfashionable, "playing with stickers/figurines", etc.). The word "sfigato" is Italian for "unlucky" but it actually means something that combines being unlucky, nerdy, unfashionable etc. ;-) And yeah, it was probably made by a 16yo calling himself a "DJ".
And let's not forget the guy's other "mega success" in immaturity and generalization, The Typical Italian Girl.
So this happened this afternoon. A crane which had been abandoned earlier due to fuel leaks caught fire and collapsed, fortunately onto a building still under construction, as opposed to on an adjacent road which happens to be one of the busiest in Sydney. Nearby buildings were evacuated, including UTS itself (University of Technology Sydney). Farking hell!
