Hey! Cool song! But why is there a fat man in my bathtub? Why can't there be a HUNK in my bathtub? Huh?
And while we're at it.....why is it that in the last few years, all the songs that contain the name Juanita in them are DUMB songs. Remember Juanita Banana? Do you know how many times I've had people come up to me and say, "Juanita Banana?" If it weren't for that fat man in the bathtub, this song would be a little better. If they said, "Juanita, my sweet Juanita, what are you up to?" I could give an enigmatic smile and say, "hehehehe...wouldn't you like to know?"
And speaking of Juanita....why in the heck did my mother ever name me Juanita? It doesn't fit. It just doesn't fit. Juanita is a Hispanic name. And while the Hispanic heritage is certainly a rich and diverse one, it's not MY heritage, so why did my Mom name me that?
I mean, think of it....suppose you were a proud descendant of one of the Aztec Kings, and you were born and raised in Mexico, and your mother decided to name you Jim-Bob!!!!
Do you know how many people on SI greet me with "hola Juanita"or "que pasa, Juanita". And you know why? Cause they think I'm hispanic! And it's all my mother's fault!
Now I wouldn't mind being thought of as Hispanic, if I could speak the language fluently. Then I could go along with it and fool people. But practically the only words I know in Spanish are love phrases. Now it might work with GA Bard or Joe to tell them that I love them with all my heart....but I sure would feel silly telling Binder to kiss me again! <g>
Juanita....the Scottish/German variety |
