talking ’bout my baby

There’s a story behind The Righteous Brothers song “Little Latin Lupe Lu”. Let’s just take a peak –

Little Latin Lupe Lu (“Lupe”) was written by 19-year-old Bill Medley when he and Bobby Hatfield were in a five-piece band called The Paramours. It’s about a girl he dated at Santa Ana High School in California named Lupe Laguna, whose nickname was “Lupe Lu.” Medley later described it as “a silly little song, about a girl who likes to dance”.

Here it is Thursday morning. I haven’t worked for a week. I’ve spent way too much time in a hosptial the last two days – as driver and comforter. And here this morning I’m going through the morning motions amidst a severe case of sleepy sleepiness.

Why wouldn’t I think of the word ‘loopy’?
