French song Alouette Gentille Alouette used as soundtrack sounds very strange with Italy. Also you pointed ricotta and Pizza…. Where are lost pasta and spaghetti is beyond any human comprehension…
the song is french, the MacDonalds is really unnecessary info, it is very irrelevant compared to the italian cousine,this seems for cowboys-only stuff
whoever did this video is a complete ignorant, the song Alouette is one of the most traditional French kids songs, anyone who lives in Europe knows that.
