Georges Bizet - "Les Toreadors" from Carmen Suite No. 1

[+ Avalon]

 

 

On "The Amazing Race" the teams visited a French bullring. The arena had been built by the Romans. I was reminded of this musical piece.

[gallahadesquire]

Toreadoadore, don't spit on the floor-a

Use the cuspidor-e, that's what it's for-a

[amused1]

Toreadoadore, don't spit on the floor-a

Use the cuspidor-e, that's what it's for-a

The version I learned ends with "wad-dya think it's for-a."

Maybe be a case of regional accents?

I've heard that song now played in the background on a kitty litter commercial ;-)))
