Monster From a Prehistoric Planet

This 1967 classic surrounds an expedition in the South Pacific that lands on a tropical island where the natives worship the mysterious deity Gappa. An earthquake opens up an underground cavern and a baby reptile is discovered inside. The natives warn the foreigners to leave the hatching alone, but they don’t listen and take it back to a zoo in Japan. Soon after, moma and papa Gappa start smashing Tokyo looking for their kidnapped child.

A new short music video coming out of Temple University’s Rome campus highlights and updates an Italian childhood tradition.  The song featured, “Don Don Baby,” is a short nursery rhyme that is traditionally sung by children while playing hand games. The video is now airing on our broadcast channel between programs.

The song and accompanying video are part of a project by Piccoli Cantori di Milano, The Boy’s Choir of Milan, titled “Giocastrocche: filastrocche per giocare in cortile” (“nursery rhymes to play in the yard”). For their 50 year anniversary, the Choir put together a collection of 70 traditional nursery rhymes and Italian street games and performed them as songs. The video was produced by Roberto Conte.
