GUEST,Ewan McVicar Origins: La Bamba (9) RE: Origins: La Bamba 09 Jun 25


I used the tune and referenced the words for a song that got into the final of a songwriting competition. I have told in a couple of places how the formerly obscure Mexican folksong was suddenly top of the Hit Parade when the final was held, so I was marked down for lack of originality
My song, in Glesca langwidge, started thus:

Tam, yer a bampot
Yer the original bampot
Ye think that yer clever but yer not
Yer just a bampot bampot

Ye tap hard men for fivers
Then ye forget tae pay then
So you get me to cool them
Then ye try them out for anither five
It's a wonder tae me that you survive
You are a bampot bampot

Etc
Ewan
