ok this post is really for everyone but as she is someone who regularly reads it that i KNOW is into futbol [yes the correct spelling!], this bit of trivia is special for her:
in 1962 chile hosted the world cup. my people were so freaking excited and honored to be the hosts and so supportive of the chilean team, that a chilean rock & roll band named los ramblers made a song titled "El Rock del Mundial", or the world cup rock. [another tidbit is chile actually finished 3rd in this cup ... the one and only time we've placed that high]
i totally forgot about this song but just saw it on someones fb status and the memories of me dancing around to it as a kid came flooding back. why i'm not sure but i was in love with it. it got rewound many many many times lolol. [blame my mom for playing it for me and teaching me the words lol]
ssooo ... here it is with a video!!!
and here are the lyrics:
El mundial del `62 es una fiesta universal
Del deporte del balón como consigna general
Celebrando nuestros triunfos bailaremos rock and roll
Nos invade la alegría y de todo corazón
Agradecemos a quienes nos brindaron la ocasión
Y dispuestos a la lucha entraremos en acción
Tómala, métete, remata
Gol, gol de Chile
Un sonoro C H I
Y bailemos rock and roll
Tómala, métete, remata
Gol, gol de Chile
Un sonoro C H I
Y bailemos rock and roll
Tómala, métete, remata
Gol, gol de Chile
Un sonoro C H I
Y bailemos rock and roll
A los equipos extranjeros demostraremos buen humor
Y como buenos chilenos, hidalguía y corrección
Y aunque sea en la derrota bailaremos rock and roll
Tómala, métete, remata
Gol, gol de Chile
Un sonoro C H I
Y bailemos rock and roll
Y bailemos rock and roll
Y bailemos, alegremente, rock and roll
Oh MY Goodnessssss. Cathy, this makes my whole day!
ReplyDeleteI did NOT know that Chile hosted the cup in 62 and as ashamed as I am to admit that, it makes me go for them even more now that they are in this cup! This is freaking amazing! You are the best. I'm so happy. Thanks Cat.
