I thought it was a nonsense word at first but it's not!
Funiculì, Funiculà is a famous song written by Italian journalist Peppino Turco and set to music by Italian composer Luigi Denza in 1880. It was composed to commemorate the opening of the first funicular on Mount Vesuvius. It was sung for the first time in the Quisisana Hotel in Castellammare di Stabia and met with huge success. It was presented by Turco and Denza to the Piedigrotta's day during the same year.

"Funiculì, Funiculà" was a famous song written by Italian journalist Peppino Turco and set to music by composer Luigi Denza in 1880. It was composed to celebrate the opening of the first funicular on Mt. Vesuvius. Richard Strauss unintentionally plagiarized the song on his "Aus Italien" symphony.
"Funiculì, Funiculà" are play words for funicular (from the latin "funicula", rope) which is a trolley car mostly used to get people or cargo to the top of a mountain or between high areas.
