  • @Zfernbaugh lol yeah, me too but is still fricken funny

  • Here there is a mixture of two different songs. On the one hand the lyrics and the topic are of the song "Estaba el señor don gato" but the music is of the song "Vamos a contar mentiras" (We are going to count lies) or "Ahora que vamos despacio" (Now that we are slow)

  • Since this song is so familiar to everyone maybe you all can help me find another song in the same music school book "We are Jack O'lanterns" One verse went "We have teeth but can not bite, In our heads a candle bright, Don't you thinks we're funny, BOO BOO BOO!" Or something like that.

    Its amazing what you can remember when your mind is jarred by a song like El Don Gato
