You gettin' to skinny, you gotta eat. Mange, Mange!

"Weird Al" Yankovic's, "Taco Grande"
The Lyrics:
Buenos noches, senor. Bienvendio a el burritos casa de salsa. Tenemos muchos platos muy sabrosos si puedo recomendar el ardiente pollo al infierno muy delicioso. Sus ojos se quemaran, su estomago estara en fuego, se quedaran en el bano por una semana, entiendes lo que digo gringo estupido tonto?
Why:
Like the Geraldo's "Rico Suave" song uses Spanglish, this Weird Al parody is about eating Mexican Food. In English the bridge is... "Good evening, sir, and welcome to Enrique's House of Salsa. We have many very delicious dishes. May I recommend the Burning Chicken from Hell as being very delicious. Your eyes will burn, your stomach will be on fire, you'll be in the bathroom for a week! Do you understand what I'm saying you stupid Gringo"? And the bridge was spoken by Cheech Marin from Cheech and Chong.
