Do I go Chavela live, whispering and sobbing her way through La Llorona?

...or a touch of Mariachi from Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlán....come take a stroll through the tomatoes with a hairy horse.

These are quality dilemmas to have JC.

I give you the excellent Carrie Rodriguez to persuade you...

The Mexican Hat Dance has already been cited, but I bet you didn't know these words to the same tune:

Yes it's true! It's the talk of the nation -
This sausage amazingly new;
So new that it's caused a sensation,
And Donnellys make it for you.

( middle 8)
With two wrappers for double protection,
The finest that money can buy,
The last word in sausage perfection,
They're skinless and easy to fry,

So the next time you visit your grocer
Tel him no other sausage will do.
To his other suggestions say, "No Sir!"
It's Donnelly's Donnelly's Donnelly's (Pause, with a dominant seventh chord)...
Sausages for you!

ps It's not advertising. The business folded ages ago.

Skint!

When Lila Downs does it she gets 2.3m views

Mind you, she has a harpist and acrobats too. A winning combination it seems.
