The Carrion Crow was a political satire relating to some character who chose the wrong side in a dispute and called the King a carrion crow, then ended up worse off as a result.link to song reference
Can't recall dates, but it should be possible to put a date to the song.
The chorus quoted in the above reference is not the "ling dong dilly dong kiro me", so it could be that the tune we are discussing was a later match-up and not the original one used.
That doesn't solve the question, but it may be that the satire was put to your Italian tune in recent times.
Quack!
