Out with the (trouser) Snake and in with the (hung like a ) Horse..?
...yes, it is Chinese (Lunar) New Year today - the Year of the Fire Horse. I apologise to anyone who thinks it sacrilegious, but this was the first song that immediately came to mind:
Meanwhile...
In Hispanic/Latin American countries (and across the world) today is Mardi Gras ["Fat Tuesday"}, or Carnaval - a time for outrageously OTT feathered costumes, salsa music and a heavy dollop of camp...
...while in Britain, we have Pancake Day. Toss that!
Since there are fewer songs about the latter than the former, try this:
[OK, OK - I know it's actually a number written for a football competition, but it's a great choon!]Enjoy your fatty, fried, pancake-y treats - or indeed your Niángāo cake!
PS
By sheer coincicence - it also happens to be the start of Ramadan, to boot!
Of course, I'm not sure I know an appropriate song for that.
