The Lyrics
i don need ta 'splain this thin is aboat ricky ricardo...
a man...who's from...the cuban race
he's got...a dark...and handsome face
but when...he speaks...a big disgrace
ole
ricardo fries ingles
his hands...upon...the congas, jet
he wows...and thrills...the folks, you bet
but when...he speaks...his match is met
ole
ricardo fries ingles
at the tropicana you can see this dynamo
latin rhythms, he'll attack, when you attend his show
when the music is his language, he can call your bluff
but when he speaks...the image leaks
the words, he'll muff
his wife...can set...his heart a-glow
and its...been said...he loves her so
but words...are still...his biggest foe
ole
ricardo fries ingles
on drums...he's great...as we all know
so fine...he makes...the tempo flow
but words...just cause...him fearsome woe

Wow, I haven't been around in a while. The site certainly looks different...Anyway, this is cool, alvin...kinda tickled me since I recently wrote a piece involving Ricky myself. Clever stuff...5's ~ ~ ~
No idea who you're talking about, but I can guess the type from the tune (which is a fun one - in a way, I'm surprised there aren't more parodies to this OS)
Phil, you never saw "I Love Lucy"? Hmmm...maybe they never showed it too much on that side of the pond...anyway, that's what it's about - "Ricky Ricardo", played by Desi Arnaz - the character spoke rather broken "Eenglaysh" with a Cuban accent.
thanks paul and phil
"Ricardo fries" -- arent they also known as "plátanos" (plantains)? Tres cincos.
thanks tomas...lol
LOL! Only passingly familiarywith Ricky (too young and Australian to appreciate ILL) but I love mangled english parodies, so a big set of 5s.
Hang on...is that Paul Robinson's name sitting above me? Long time, no see!! Ashkicksass has also popped in today (see Jeff's parody)...is this like a school reunion day or somthing? :-)

I remember seeing an I Love Lucy episode years ago and Ricky brought home an actor friend who could act in English but could not speak or really understand it. He just memorized the lines. Lucy was trying to ask him if he was hungry and as she stumbled around she came up with the idea to put an "O" at the end of the word dinner and said "You know, dinner-o". Ricky's friend says "Si" and pulls a wad of cash out of his pocket and says "Yo tengo mucho dinero". Y Tomas - Platinos ah si - Yo tengo un platino amarillo y un chango con un culo rojo. Alvin, Loved the parody and I do know the OS to this song very well. I believe I parodied it once and called it "Nintendo's Out Of Play". Loosie, you got some splainin to do. Why did you vote thees juans?
"Loooseee!....Deed you see what alvin wroe abou me?...I jus luff it!"
Paul - nope, the closest thing I've seen to "I love Lucy" is the video to Weird Al's "Ricky"
thanks kristof, guy (dinner-o...lol) and AFW
Muy bueno!
