And here's a little fun: Granada song

To the tune of this song


Hello mudda
hello fadda
I'm surviving
In Granada
Dry and dusty
Seems the case is
That the rain in Spain stays mainly other places.

This is not the
place to go ta
If you are from
Minnesota
It gets cold here
sometimes, hell yeah
but there aren't ten thousand lakes here, I can tell ya.

At least mosquitoes
Don't desire
To live someplace
so much dryer
But I still am
feeling bitchy
'Cause there's something here whose bites are just as itchy.

I don't know, though,
What you call it
If I knew, I
can't recall it
Darn things must've
Sucked my mind out
Well, I'll call them "Spanish flies" until I find out.

Take... me... home oh mudda fadda
Take... me... home, home from Granada
Don't leave me here where I will get
Hardly any internet
Take me home, I think if I stay longer here
I might dry up and disappear
I hope that I can sneak
away for just one week...

Hello mudda
Hello fadda
Do you know
Sierra Nevada
Seems in Spain there's
A location
By that name, and I am there on spring vacation.

It is cooler
That is better
But it isn't
Any wetter
Seems that if you
don't like skiing
There's not much to do but watch your nose keep bleeding.

Take... me... home oh mudda fadda
Take... me... home, home from Granada
Please oh please don't leave me here
Where bars serve snail meat with their beer
Take me home, at noon here nothing seems alive
All shops are closed from two to five
And dinner's served at eight
and is not worth the wait!

...Please consider
Sending me food
There is nothing
Here but seafood
(Which is strange 'cause
there's no water)
Mom and Dad, you've got one nauseated daughter.

At our table
there are many
shrimp with legs, eyes
and antennae
Bony fish
much skill require
'Cept the little ones you're sposed to eat entire.

Even if the
food were yummy
I doubt it could
reach my tummy
My host family
spends too much time
Watching bullfights on tv when it is lunchtime.

Take... me... home oh mudda fadda
Take... me... home, you really oughta
Come and take me home from here
And feed me lefse for a year
Take me home, and at the family gathering
I'll eat a plate of everything
I won't take our grocery store
For granted any more

Mudda Fadda
please send money
Spent so much
it isn't funny
I need someone
here to holler
"Kid, a euro is a lot more than a dollar!"

Hello Mudda
Hello Fadda
I must go to
"el Juzgado"
or the courtroom
as we call it
To testify against some guy who stole my wallet.

Yeah it sucked to
lose my purse, guys,
but the legal
stuff is worse, guys
Dearest daddy,
darling mommy
Can't you please make the police stop hitting on me?

Take... me... home, oh mudda fadda
take... me... home to where there's water
And if there's a legal case to win
It's in a language I'm more fluent in...
Take me home, I used to think my Spanish was
great, but now I don't because
In school they train your brain
For Mexico, not Spain!

Cuernavaca
And Vienna
They were nice
This is Gehenna
Studying a-
broad is fine now
but I think next time I'm doing it online now.
