What is this tune?
That's a friend of mine singing a bit from a tune that's stuck in her head driving her crazy. She said she thinks it might be from TV of the past, maybe the Ed Sullivan show or Ernie Kovacs.

If you don't have any luck here, you can try humming it here.

Best answer: Sounds like "El Cumbanchero" by (I think) Rafael Hernandez.
Lots of folks did it. Here's Desi Arnaz's pretty famous version.

Absolutely "El Cumbanchero". I have a bitchin' version by Henry King & His Orchestra, circa the late 1930's. Later reinvented as the enduring reggae rhythm "Rockfort Rock".

Response by poster: I sent these to my friend and her husband says, "They got it! Definitely El Cumbanchero! Thanks!"
So - thanks, y'all!
