Reading all the whereas', incredulous claims and out right compilation of Chicanista fairytales I broke into a grin and thought how appropriate it would be if Assemblyman Perez wore a caped crusader costume (complete with a monogrammed
SL front and back for
Super Latino and UFW Eagle crime fighter chonies worn on the outside of his tights) while presenting his amusing little offering.
Not only should he wear the caped jammie outfit, but he should be splashing around a bottle of tequila on a stage festooned with booze advertisements and littered with empty beer bottles suggesting the
REAL north of the border popular appeal behind a holiday which is barely noticed in Mexico.
The grand finale could be Perez stumbling around like the old Lalo Gonzalez bar room scene in an old black and white Mexican flick while drunkenly belting out
the Cinco de Mayo theme song:
Quote:
Borrachera, borrachera, borrachera
Borrachera, borrachera, con la camisa de fuera
Eres buena companera pa' aliviar el mal de amores
Pa' callar los habladores que hay en los alrededores ... (the song continues in this vein, more lyrics not posted)
Roughly "borrachera" is a real bender, pants shitting bout of drinking
Quote:
The lyrics above are roughly "Out on a big drunk with the shirt tail hanging out (in the sloppy manner of a drunk, maybe half tucked in)
You're a good companion (referring to the state of profound inebriation) to relieve the bad part of love
for shutting up the loud mouths (big talkers) out and about..."

And he could toss in
Llego borracho el borracho (roughly "the boozer showed up drunk") for good measure:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGD65NkwcyQ and maybe follow it up with
El diaro de un borracho (cumbia song about a real loser of a drunk describing his own wretched existence)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhFct489VuY
I'd love to see a parody of Perez introducing his proclamation like that on Youtube... and how appropriate it would be.
The classic (and funny) Lalo Gonzalez and Luis Aguilar black and white clip referred to above with the bar room drinking contest and drunkenly impotent fist fight culminating in Gonzalez singing
Borrachera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZOl91bTPtM
