I swore I thought the ashcan was changed to an attache or something, because I swore it looked like a suitcase when I was a kid.

@GroverKent "Alfombra" is a rug; and it's not a heart--it's an apricot.

I just put the word "ashcan" into a translation site, and the word translated to "el cubo." Obviously, that's not an "A" word in Spanish so it had to be changed to a suit of "A"rmor.

I get the impression that the English & Spanish versions were done in two separate clips. I've seen the English one, and I know it originally had an apple. Since the Spanish word for "apple" (manzana) doesn't start with "A," they had to substitute an apricot. I don't know what the word for "ashcan" would be, but I guess they had to change it to "armadura" (armor). This fascinates me because I used to see those clips as a kid but couldn't understand Spanish until I had a year of it in college.

That's right - an example would be the 'Thought about a thought: circle' clip. Instead of the words 'Stop' and 'Go' appearing in the signs, the words 'Alto' and 'Siga' were used. Es muy interesante que en los dos idiomas - ingles y espanol - muchas palabras se comienzan con la misma letra. En este video, occurre que si - todos las palabras se comienzan con 'A' en los dos idiomas.

Avión, acordeón, armadura. Déjenme ver, déjenme ver. Tenía otra en alguna parte. Es que no la puedo recordar. ¡Esa era! Avalancha. Se podría agregar una palabra más a esa lista, claro está. Ambulancia.
And here's a list of the English and Spanish counterparts, with a translation in parentheses if needed: Apple-albaricoque (apricot), anchor-ancla, apron-alfombra (carpet), automobile-automóvil, animals-animales, arrow-arpón (harpoon), airplane-avión, accordion-acordeón, ashcan-armadura (armor), avalanche-avalancha, ambulance-ambulancia.

Here's Part 1 of the transcription:
Ah, hola. Les hablo desde lo alto de la letra A. La A parece una V al revés con una línea que cruza por el medio. Mírenla, aquí está. A es la primera letra del alfabeto, y la primera letra de muchas palabras como albaricoque, ancla, alfombra, automóvil, animales, y la A va al principio de arpón. ¡Cuidado! ¡Por poco me-me-me!
