Thank you!

The Spanish Jerry Lewis and SO much more.....

There's the Universal Language of Love, but there's also the Universal Language of Fecking Weirdness. It doesn't matter that the only Spanish words I know are related to food and booze, I still thoroughly enjoyed the downloads from Lo Pior de la Red, in particular the music of Hermanos Calatrava (see below)--great version of "Ground Control to Major Tom", whatever that song is actually called. You can get 1990s Argentinian Coca Cola jingles, Spanish versions of music from Masters of the Universe--and as you can see, the collection of oddball album covers is quite good, indeed.

Still hungry?

Diaper Trouble

The career of Portuguese singer Madalena Iglésias was flyin’ high in the late sixties.
Her performance of “Ele e Ela” (which apparently translates to “It and It”) in Eurovision 1966 earned her a whopping total of 6 points, giving Portugal bragging rights of 13th place.



Then in 1967 the burgeoning Lisbon film industry beckoned, and Madalena was tapped to star in the musical comedy “Sarilho de Fraldas” (Diaper Trouble).

Her co-star António Calvário warrants a whole paragraph on a site entitled PORTUGUESES IRRITANTES (I don't think I need Google translator to figure out the gist of the blog).
You can judge just how irritating he was by downloading side one of the soundtrack to Diaper Trouble.
