Connie(Mom):"How could you do this to Ritchie!?"

Bob:"To Ritchie!? I did this to me!"

Someone on YouTube commented on Ritchie Valens Framed "The original police harassment song." I replied to that person with "The perfect soundtrack for those Duke Boys. Lol."

"Hidden racism in a classic film?  In La Bamba, Mr. Ludwig's subtle prejudice shines through when he asks Donna about Ritchie Valens: 'What is he, Italian or something?' A clever detail that adds depth to the story! 🎥 #LaBamba #RitchieValens #RepresentationMatters"

🎶 "Para bailar La Bamba

Para bailar La Bamba

Se necesita una poca de gracia

Una poca de gracia

Pa' mí, pa' ti, ay arriba, ay arriba

Y arriba, y arriba

Por ti seré, por ti seré, por ti seré

Yo no soy marinero

Yo no soy marinero, soy capitán

Soy capitán, soy capitán

Bamba, bamba

Bamba, bamba

Bamba, bamba, bam

Para bailar La Bamba

Para bailar La Bamba

Se necesita una poca de gracia

Una poca de gracia

Pa' mí, pa' ti, ay arriba, ay arriba

Para bailar La Bamba

Para bailar La Bamba

Se necesita una poca de gracia

Una poca de gracia

Pa' mí, pa' ti, ay arriba, ay arriba

Y arriba, y arriba

Por ti seré, por ti seré, por ti seré

Bamba, bamba

Bamba, bamba

Bamba, bamba" 🎶
