As mentioned in my CS thread:

Bahdahdahdah la bamba. . .

Being raised in S. TX and L.A., I knew the lyrics to that song before I could walk. Understandable for not speaking Spanish, tho, to hear that particular song in any number of ways. Funny thing is, it works any way you sing it!

Some of the others in this thread are really odd. Entertaining! But odd. 🙂

Now the teen preacher looked so baffled  
When I asked him why he dressed  
With twenty pounds of headlights  
Stapled to his chest

(Until I looked it up just now, I thought those were the lyrics. [Bobdylan.com](http://Bobdylan.com) says there’s no ‘teen’ in there, and that it’s ‘head_lines_’ and not ‘head_lights_.’)
