"Zum zum zum" is a song written by Bruno Canfora and Antonio Amurri as an opening theme for the 1968 television program Canzonissima, when all the participants performed it in chorus.

The song was originally recorded by Italian singer Mina, who was the host of the show. Her version was released as a single, but only reached number 20 on the Italian chart. The B-side was the song "Sacumdi sacumdà", which is the Italian version of the Portuguese song "Nem Vem Que não Tem" by Carlos Imperial. At the same time, the French version of the song "Tu veux, tu veux pas", performed by Brigitte Bardot, among others, became popular in Europe. In 1970, Mina recorded the Portuguese version for the album Mina canta o Brasil.
