We had joy we had fun
we had estaciones en el sol
but the wine and the song
like the seasons have all gone

I like to multi-language old familiar songs and things.

Radio DJ’s in Guadalajara used to say these:

reina del caribe – Billy Ocean
grito rebelde – Billy Idol

Years ago I used to do telephone customer service. I heard a co-worker shouting into the phone at a hard-of-hearing customer trying to ascertain which part they were looking for:

“IS IT SHALLOW?”

Upon hearing that, a flamboyant co-worker said, “somebody must be talking about me again?”

I always remember that moment. There were many good ones.

The flamboyant “shallow” coworker ended up moving to Atlanta. I thought that was appropriate. 😁
