What really makes this cool is that this performance was before Elvis on Ed Sullivan and you could deem it racy for the time when Desi takes off his tie. Remember, when Elvis performed the cameras would not show him moving his hips. I bet a million women who watched this back in the prudish 1950's were creaming in their panties, lol.

@darkfiresl2 - Yes - I believe a lot of Cubans are familiar with that concept. So sad he allows
his roving eye to ruin his marriage. Sad when they divorced.
i like how his hair gets more and more messed up as he goes. great performance.

Fun fact: Desi is invoking and welcoming Babalu-Aye, the Orisha (god) of healing and fortitude in Santeria. Watch how wild eyed he gets as he gets to the climax when Babalu supposedly arrives.
