The Spanish children's song "Pin Pon" was composed by Mexican radio personality Cri-Cri and popularized in the 1960s by Chilean TV host Jorge Guerra, who created the character of a cardboard doll named Pin Pon for his children's show. The song has since undergone lyrical variations throughout Latin American folk and is often included in collections of children's songs.

Pin Pon es un muñeco
de carne y de cartón
Se lave la cabeza...
Pin Pon is a doll
made of flesh and cardboard
He washes his head...
