"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.
