NOBODY KNOWS THE WORDS TO LA BAMBA

We had dinner at "La Bamba" restaurant in Greenfield. There was a huge menu selection with reasonable prices, solicitous wait staff, large portions and good food. I heartily recommend it.

At our house, any time the song "La Bamba" is played, one of us will invariably start singing:

"bailar la bamba"
followed by
"nobody knows the words to La Bamba"
soon followed by
"aribba, aribba"
followed by some humming and then
"nobody knows the words to La Bamba".

Why bother singing since we don't really know the words? Because it's an infectious song.

We do the same thing with "Volare":

"Vo--lar--aay, nobody knows the words to Volare"
and then end with
"nel blu di pinto di blu"

"Frere Jacques" is the same to me!
