  • I live on the Mexican border; I moved here in 1977. So I've seen a lot of hat dances. I've never tried to do it -- I leave it to those who know how. But it's fun to watch.

    I've been told that the origin of the music is Germany, Austria or somesuch German speaking area. A search on Bing proved inconclusive. Maybe someone can enlighten us all.

    At any rate, it's an amazing dance to watch done by professional dancers. And it's fun for not-so professionals to dance to as well.

  • @gabriel27000v yeah, after one year it still pops-up in my head from time to time, and it still cracks me up xD

  • "They won't quit, they go on,

    It's a Mexican custom to take hats and bust 'em

    By doing a dance thereupon."

    BRILLIANT!!!! Thanks @mechanicalmagician you made my day!

  • @8Isabella8 aye to the making fun of, it kinda got to me, but u gotta admit it is funny xD

  • Of course the correct interpretation is really "Which they squeeze from one cow or an udder" - this song is crammed with pithy humour and spectacular rhyme. Where are the people who can write like this today? Oh yes - dead since the 70s. Come on you post modern lyricists - up your game.

  • When I came to YouTube this song was my very first search. I gave up but with the Wisconsin recall election yesterday and the lyrics "In Wisconsin they dance on fresh butta, Which they squeeze from one cow or anutta." I checked again. It seemed like I was eight years old all over again and sneaking into my parents album collection.

    Thanks for doing the work and thanks for the memories.

  • the best! ty!
