[tanika159]

great song

[lerxt42]

this son always reminds me of how bizarre by omc

[Z1cky]

I wish this artist had got more recognition when he died.

[Ubenesto]

Le sobra estilo y glammour. Que grande y que canción más bonita. Spain is diferent.

[Ubenesto]

Que recuerdos de estos paseos españoles con Rosita y su troupe-

[megapaulsimon]

do u know which movie this song appeared in

[grizzle100]

It was in that summer featuring Ray Winstone

But MDWs other stuff is good and his recent stuff is very good.

What a loss RIP

[megapaulsimon]

well it also features in the movie' in the land of women' with adam brody and meg ryan

[grizzle100]

It was indirect in that summer, background.

[013235064891]

rip

[1960unclemort]

when this record came someone told me that some of the spanish lyrics translate as 'i wanna watch your television ' -anyone confirm that

[1TheGoldenoriol]

The spanish speech goes like "Hey Rosita, where are you goin´ with my car? You know that I love you, but you stoled me my T.V. and my radio, now you wanna get my car...´don´t wanna go! come here! eh! what a spice Rosita...." Greetings from Spain...

[robsmallwood]

"Hey Rosita, where are you goin´ with my car? You know that I love you, but you stoled me my T.V. and my radio, now you wanna get my car...´don´t wanna go! come here! eh! what a spice Rosita...."

Thanks for that - always wondered!

[candelise]

@robsmallwood Can we have it in the original language? Thanks

[aditaroldan]

[Smithfieldis]

@wolf1percenter

whats sheeple? 

[wolf1percenter]

@Smithfieldis, a sheeple is a person controlled by the government , brainwashed and mindless, cant think for themselves, can only do what the authorities tell it to do. try reading a book by david icke.

[Smithfieldis]

@wolf1percenter

I´m only here for the music. And only for the music. Would you call me a sheeple?

[wolf1percenter]

@Smithfieldis , no cos your into good music.

[zalmsla2000]

you were such an inspiration! RIP Willy!

[gasda25]

thanks Willy...RIP

[Hedkandee]

Can anybody translate the Spanish Bridge????

[silvanski]

Lou Reed influence? Don't crack me up

Willy was unique RIP

[Richardarthur86]

He probably means "Take a walk on the wild side".

[tigermoth13]

yes, he was unique indeed, one of the last great singers / bands of the late seventies. this song is remembered by many, and replayed alot now on bbc radio 2 !!. much better than (who reed ?)

[mylothumbs92]

lou reed you dumb fuck. you cant copare two people if you dont know who one is. rip mink.

[daves1703]

@mylothumbs92 Think it was a play on words... (Who Reed... Lou Reed...) 0_o

[Efrasnel]

You know, I always thought it was a female chorus...RIP Willy, the world is a sadder place. If the Grim Reaper could just quit right now....

[janik2011]

hasta la vista... RIP WILLY

[forestgumpaed]

eh ,rosta ......send it out now....classic if ever there was one.

[TheSleathable]

Willie Deville is on my Johnny Thunders dvd just cilling out in new orleans..

he looks good for 40 in it...though looks like he might be on junk too...

[sid77ie]

Welll Allright, Mink rocks....

send it out now!!!

[vangerwen79]

mink is the shit

[forestgumpaed]

really suprised that this was there only hit(the magic of reading books)it peaked at #20 and remained in the charts for a further 8 weeks in 1977.

[blairh1966]

In '79 Rubén the bassist was friends with a couple of guys in the San Francisco band I was in and we all used in hang out (and play gigs) at the Palms Cafe on Polk St. Jim Carroll hung out there too.

[Viejapower26]

Remind me of my brother, that casanova:d

[Geetar2112]

lovely groove - timeless...eh, Rosita!

[Glamking1]

Hey there was a clip of Spanish Stroll on TOTP on 18th August 1977 instead of the stupid captions !!

[HotSummerof1976]

Still cool.....

[Gozzillacia]

...and all the coloured boys go, oooh oooh oooh oooh ooooooooh oooh ooooh

A classic.

[healthiersolutions]

i was lucky to be living in manhattan when they first came onto the scene and saw them many times live...that first band was truly electric. don't think that Willy has gotten nearly enough recognition for being the true genius he is.

[Hellothereboyos]

Mink is actually a friend of a friend of mine...haha, Im really proud of that fact although it may sound a bit pathetic ^^

[RandallJonesey]

Not pathetic at all; just keep on being proud.

[salsamad5]

It doesn't sound pathetic. I always loved the track - tell Mink to re-release it to let the younger generation experience some great music as opposed to what we are subjected to now!!

[wiggysworld40]

thanks for this wiggy...my favorite song of all time!!

[tobkol]

i think its the coolest song of all time... so there!

[olsenal]

TOP !

[Didueva]

Had forgotten this one.

Thanks, love it!

[fritzmcd]

Absolutely Brilliant!!!

[Gemlovely]

Terific pick up, Wiggy!

[tigermoth13]

[stevefrommalton]

Brother Johnny - he caught a plane and he got on it .... lyrics to die for!

[joycexsuicide]
