I can't believe that I'm using my weblog for a music entry, but this is too fun not to talk about. On public radio the other day I heard about this song that's a runaway hit all over the world except in the United States, and this lack of American airplay was the story.

Three daughters of traditional flamenco guitar player Tomate formed a group, and their name "Las Ketchup" is obviously playing on the name of their father. The girls are very cute, they can sing, and the video is fun to watch. The song is in Spanish, and the chorus is in made-up, nonsense Spanish: this allows one to make up anything one wants while singing aloud.

The web site is at www.theketchupsong.com, and the video is provided in several formats.

I'll be tapping my toes to this for weeks.
