My "Guabi Guabi" was used by me as an excuse to add humor to the sad ballads I was so fond of. I'd sing a verse of "Guabi" and then say, "I'll translate it."

Then I'd tell some joke or pun or whatever. Then I'd do "another verse"---and 'translate' that one. Then another maybe---depending on how the audience responded to stuff.

One incarnation of what I did with it is on my recording called Art Thieme--LIVE ST WINFIELD, KANSAS. But I never did do it the same twice.
