This is very interesting. I just did karaoke to “La Bamba” last weekend in Wellington, NZ. We had people from Japan, Mexico, and the US. There must be some cultural bonding quality to it… If you don’t know the words, there’s always “La la la la la la bamba” to bring everyone together. Or in my case, you can just clap and dance and hand the microphone over to the women in the sombrero, from Mexico, who knows the song by heart.

Cheers,
