Hallelujah. Is. My. New. Favourite. Word.
Porque?!
Porque!
It is pronounced ahhlehloooshaaa here. Can you believe it?! Say it with me now:
AHHHHHLEHHHHLOOOOOSHAAAAAA!
Is that not the MOST FUN word ever?! Ever?!
Couple it with The Weather Girls’ “It’s Raining Men” and you’ve got yourself one of my most memorable moments from the weekend. We were out with friends at a new bar in Mar del Plata, in the kind of place that plays gringo music early in the evening before it gets crowded. Everything from The Beach Boys, to Guns & Roses, to Shania Twain (yes, really). One friend is basically a human jukebox. He knows every song ever created and sings along to each one (it’s quite impressive, actually). Besides the fact that everyone freaked out because I couldn’t differentiate between the Rolling Stones and Guns & Roses, and because I have no clue who Freddie Mercury is, it was an interesting night. J (the human jukebox) would sing along to every new song played, sometimes using the semantic words in Castellano to prove that he could understand the English. Very cute.
Well, when The Weather Girls came on and he started singing “It’s raining men! Ahlehlooshaa, it’s raining men! Amen!”, I just about fell over myself. It was funny and enlightening and shocking all at once. What a hilarious twist to this song! I used to despise it but the ahlehlooshaa made my night! My weekend! =D SO GREAT!
Ha. Maybe you just had to be there. The smallest things amuse me, I know. But still. It was a moment. Shooveeyaaa has now been replaced by ahlehlooshaa. =)
