It was just a bunch of semi-randomly thrown together Spanish words and phrases (mostly from menus, I think) to the tune of O Sole Mio, e.g. "Carne asada, Dos enchiladas Y guacamole .... frijoles ..." |

13 Jun 12 - 04:25 PM (#3363032) Subject: RE: La Vie En Rose (Parody) From: GUEST Are you looking for a tune that was written around 1915 and to the same tune as 'O Sole Mio'? The reason you might struggle to find it is probably because the first English lyric to that is a song called 'My Son, My Son', which Charles W. Harrison popularised and there were lots of other songs that have become more popular since. If you want the French song of the same name, that was written around 1946/7 and was first recorded by Edith Piaf. |
