Vamos a La Playa

I took four years of Spanish in high school. The one thing that always sticks with me is this song, and I don’t find it overly crazy that I was able to come up with it on YouTube. Discoteques[wiki] nearly had their own unit that we studied in that class, teaching us how to use the language in social settings. I can’t even begin to guess how many times we heard this while doing translations at our desks, and it never got old. Well, at least to me.

Rebecca thought I was half crazy when I would be singing this on the way to the beach this summer. Basically it’s saying… the bombs are dropping, the radioactive wind is blowing and messing up our hair, so let’s go to the beach(o-o-o-o-oh!) and party. Mr. Martin was the best teacher, ever.
