GUEST,Genie Lyr Req: One-Ton Tomato (Guantanamera parody) (29) RE: Lyr Req: One-Ton Tomato (Guantanamera parody) 27 Sep 01


Actually, I think the entire chorus--not just the tune-- is an old drinking song. Jose Marti's poem was juxtaposed with that old song for the sake of irony or something like that. The old song is about picking up women. (A Guantanamera is a woman from Guantanamo, and a guajira (sp?) is a young woman.)
