"Tu Tatuta Tuta Ta" is a 1993 electronic song recorded by Italian music group Pin-Occhio. It was the second single from its debut album Pinocchio Vai!! and was released in June 1993, following the success of its previous hit single, "Pin-Occhio".

The song used a slightly modified riff from the 1983 song "Living on Video" recorded by Canadian band Trans-X, which was itself sampled in 2006 by Pakito. The lyrics are only composed of the title which is repeated in the refrains by a male voice.

Chart performance

"Tu Tatuta Tuta Ta" achieved some success throughout Europe, including France, Switzerland and the Netherlands where it reached the top 20, but it was a hit in Belgium (Wallonia) where it topped the chart for three weeks and remained in the top ten for nine weeks.[1] In Belgium (Flanders), it peaked at number four and charted for 14 weeks.[2] On the European Hot 100 Singles, it started at number 39 on 17 July 1993, peaked at number 26 three weeks later,[3] and fell off the chart after 16 weeks of presence. However, the song was not successful in Germany where it failed the chart. Several additional remixes were produced for a release in Italy.
