La Gallina Turuleca

The song 'La Gallina Turuleca' by La Granja de Zenón is a playful and humorous children's song that tells the story of an unusual chicken. The lyrics describe a neighbor's chicken that is so thin it resembles a canned sardine, with wire-like legs due to its hunger, and is completely featherless. Despite its pitiful state, the chicken has a peculiar habit of laying eggs everywhere in the house except for the chicken coop.

The repetition of the chicken laying eggs, counting up to ten, adds a rhythmic and educational element to the song, making it catchy and memorable for children. The song's title, 'Turuleca,' is a nonsensical word, which adds to the whimsical nature of the song. The chicken's odd behavior and the playful language used to describe it make the song entertaining and engaging for young audiences.

The song is not only a fun tune but also serves as a tool for teaching numbers and counting in a fun and interactive way. The absurdity of the chicken's actions and its description can also be seen as a way to encourage children's imagination and creativity, showing them that the world can be full of interesting and funny characters.
