antón pirulero
  16

It is a children's clothing game where a mimicry of tasks or trades is done while singing a song that begins with the stanza "Antón, Antón, Antón Pirulero, each one attends his game. . . » . This song has many variants, and is taken from an older one that according to tradition evokes a Granada crime of the mid-nineteenth century where a certain Antón Pirulero (or Perulero) murdered his wife and dismembered the body. That same legend exists in America, with some variants.
