this is for ms. lauren charisse

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

    I 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.
