TICO-TICO, Why do so many people like it? [Curiosities #10]

This is the song I've heard the most outside Brazil. What does it have that makes it so special?
"Tico-Tico no fubá" ("sparrow in the cornmeal") is a Brazilian choro song written by Zequinha de Abreu in 1917. Its original title was "Tico-Tico no farelo" ("sparrow in the bran"), but since Brazilian guitarist Américo Jacomino "Canhoto" (1889-1928) had a work with the same title, Abreu's work was given its present name in 1931, and sometime afterward Aloysio de Oliveira wrote the original Portuguese lyrics.
