Vo sadu li, v ogorod'e – Traditional Folk Song
If I have the title on this wrong, I am sorry, but this melody is a melody that has stuck with me ever since I first heard it in a Looney Tunes cartoon entitled "The Awful Orphan," in which Charlie Dog gives Porky Pig a hard time. (It also appears in the Animaniacs sketch "Pavlov's Mice," starring Pinky and the Brain.) I never knew the title for so long; I always called it "that catchy Russian kick dance tune." Recently, 
Indagare told me that the song I was looking for was a traditional Russian and/or Ukranian folk song entitled "Vo sadu li, v ogorod'e," so I thank you for that. But the way I've done it was based on the way I've heard it in the cartoons.
This is a simplified duet for vibraphone and piano, done to help me cope with writer's block I'm having. It's so easy to burn out when doing these scores, and I get frustrated because I can't think of a good one to do next.

> If I have the title on this wrong, I am sorry
The title is right. Your version of the tune is rather unorthodox, though.
The song is very furry-related. In a classical poem which most Russians know really well since early childhood, Alexander Pushkin's "The Tale of Tsar Saltan", this song is sung by a magical squirrel. The character is also present in Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's opera based on the poem (the same one where "Flight of the Bumblebee" comes from); there, the squirrel, usually played in theaters by a small girl in some kind of fursuit, not sings but whistles it - the whistling is done on piccolo and sounds like this:

We mostly associate the tune with that squirrel.

That must be where I was confused, then; I at least feel better knowing I have the correct title to the song. I based my arrangement off the way you hear it in this classic Looney Tunes clip:

As a kid, I could never figure out the title; I always called it "that catchy Russian kick dance tune."
