"Shadilay" is an Italo disco song by P.E.P.E.[a] that was published in 1986 by Magic Sound.[3] It was written by Italian singer-songwriter Marco Ceramicola, who was known professionally as Manuele Pepe.[4][5]
It became popular in 2016 because its name was similar to that of Pepe the Frog and the single's label also featured a cartoon frog.[6][7] Magic Sound has used this drawing for other songs they have produced, such as "Babababo" by Bibox.[8] It is also used as the anthem for the fictional country of Kekistan.[6][9][10] Ceramicola had stopped making music by then, and found the song's online success to be unexpected.[5]
