  • "La Bamba" is a song from the eponymous movie and the city of Veracruz. It was sung by The Simpsons in "Homer vs. Dignity".
  • One Tuesday in August, the Devil was feeling paticulary Summer-y and had an urge to jive. He preceded to eat three tacos, five burritos and catch swine flu. This made him feel really latino and decided to write a song about it. He penned his masterpiece and then gave it to an unassuming mexican man, and told him to sing it at the full moon with a flamenco beat. The ritual was lost for several hundred years before it was re discovered by latino swine Ritchie Valens. It is a little known fact that Ritchie always sang the lyrics slightly incorrectly so as not to raise The Great One from the fiery depths of Hades. Valens was aware of the demon summoning powers of the tune, but required its inane catchiness to secure a top ten hit. The song has since been covered by many artists, most famously by American rock chumps Los Lobos. They followed Rithcie's example and always got the lyrics a leetle bit wrong so as not to raise Satan. The song also features on Guitar Hero Shit Tour (the worst Guitar Hero game ever). This is evidence that the major corporations are trying to pollute the youth of the the world and create anarchy for some reason... bastards.
  • La Bamba estas tradicia mezamerika danco, kiu ankaŭ populariĝis dum junularaj Esperanto-renkontiĝoj. La dancantoj staras brakumante en rondo kaj paŝas dekstren aŭ maldekstren. Aliaj homoj dancas en la mezo kaj "devas" kisi iun tri-foje en la rondo por "liberigi sin". Oni plej ofte dancis ĝin dum la Internacia Seminario kiam oni kelkfoje dancas ĝin dum horo. Iuj homoj bojkotas la dancon ĉar ili konsideras ĝin malmodesta aŭ timas ricevi malsanojn. La "bambumado" naskiĝis en aŭgusto 1982 dum la 38-a Internacia Junulara Kongreso en Loveno, kiam (verŝajne dum la Flandra balo la 4-an de aŭgusto) la flandroj montris tiun dancon, kiu tiam jam estis tradicia en Belgio. La origina danco estis iom pli rafinita: tiu, kiu invitis al kisado, devis subiĝi sur unu genuon, proponante la alian genuon al la invitoto kiel sidilon dum la kisado. Tiu detalo rapide malaperis el la esperantista versio de la danco.
