Yes, this takes me back. It was a big hit in Europe about 12 or so years ago — they used to play it on MTV alot. Quirky and fun, somehow gets under your skin in a good way. Though I remember thinking it's a song that just wouldn't get airplay in North America. Thanks, RP for reminding me about those good times in Brussels.

Fine piece, thanks. More of Manu's other excellent material, e.g. Lagrimas d'oro, please!

I love this song! Heard it for the first time on a radio station in the republic of Georgia in 2004. I've been annoying people with it since then!

Exhilarating, vibey, fun, happy... My best listens to this album have been while driving through Mozambique. Takes me straight there on this sunny Sunday afternoon!

Plus, Manu Chao has a very strong social and (anti)political messages, so it kind of adds another dimensions to their concert. Saying they are terrible live is quite surprising, they are one of the greatest live bends I've heard...

I've only been to one Manu Chao concert and it was a near-religious experience.

This song is an instant 10!

{#Dancingbanana} My father met Manu when I was a little boy and he came to Ecuador. Now my father lives in France, and they see each other once in a while.

There's a place for this song somewhere in a Disney movie.
