Mink De Ville - Spanish Stroll [totp2]

[@raystewart6524]

One of the big big hits of the summer of 77..great song..

[@ziehurley8414]

Luv this man ❤️

[@robertfish4052]

Steve Wright played this when Willy passed away. I found the tannoy mic in my dad's warehouse and played it. Then spent the afternoon driving a forklift around with my arm casually out. The whole industrial park exploded with applause as " my version" got spat down the speakers of all the neighbouring warehouses. How did I know they were all still wired up and live? And I was using Cheech Marin Spanish. In my opinion, it was my finest musical moment. Newman way, Croydon, I miss you all, especially Paula from C.K. Transport.

[@bigmagic96]

Wonderful song. Amusing story telling, and nice melody, the backing vocals lift it to another level. Entertainment, pure and simple.

[@suzannepino5037]

Danced on stage with Willie & the Persuasions to that song many many years ago You’ll never ever hear music like this again or witness such an amazing rock revolution as we did in the 50’s 60’s & 70’s When I say 70’s I’m not talking about “ foreigner or Boston “ or shit like that. I’m talking about the whole NYC new wave scene. It was fuckn phenomenal & I was lucky enough to be right there in the mix of it all. Hanging out with Dee Dee & Joey & David Jo & Tom Verlaine & Graham Parker & John Cale & Patti. Priceless !!! RIP Willie

[@user-cz9pp9rn4y]

Foreigner and Boston have some great songs too..Broaden your horizons dude!

[@tonywilkinson6895]

One of my best songs growing up,What a band behind the vocals

[@jelkel25]

[@janewelch8268]

[@jimcameron4672]

[@stephencummings5047]

[@conchidominguez3782]

Clase, talento, estilo... Lo tenía todo..grande Willy 💜

[@victronic]

RIP Willy DeVille...you made my life very happy!

[@philipwild9875]

Ahead of their time,the words cool and talented come to mind.

[@LorcanMak]

They dont make em like this anymore #gold

[@britvic63]

absolutely love this song sheer bliss

[@healthiersolutions]

i was lucky to be living in manhattan when they first came onto the scene and saw them many times live...that first band was truly electric. don't think that Willy has gotten nearly enough recognition for being the true genius he is.

[@themagicroundabout2528]

I agree

[@ty3165]

a timeless classic

[@Ubenesto]

Que recuerdos de estos paseos españoles con Rosita y su troupe-

[@tobkol]

i think its the coolest song of all time... so there!

[@Hellothereboyos]

Mink is actually a friend of a friend of mine...haha, Im really proud of that fact although it may sound a bit pathetic ^^

[@petercrowley41]

Willy

[@58lp79]

Absolutely Wonderful, Love it! ;)

[@stevefrommalton]

Brother Johnny - he caught a plane and he got on it .... lyrics to die for!

[@theeWDM]

RIP Willy, you will be missed.

[@dencoh2]

Remember singing along to this on the radio on our way to a Stranglers concert in Glasgow

[@tigermoth13]

[@davemacleod]

Sublime. Thank you.

[@petercrowley41]

This is the actual Mink DeVille band. Spanish Stroll was written and composed by Willy DeVille. Characters mentioned in the song are our actual friends, including the Ing brothers (Mr. Jim and Tommy) and the man who's 'crazy on the coast': Fast Floyd.

[@schnellerhase]

Danke für deine Songs...Willy...Ruhe in Frieden...

[@dutch99958]

he was a cool dude!

[@tigermoth13]

yes, he was unique indeed, one of the last great singers / bands of the late seventies. this song is remembered by many, and replayed alot now on bbc radio 2 !!. much better than (who reed ?)

[@Gozzillacia]

...and all the coloured boys go, oooh oooh oooh oooh ooooooooh oooh ooooh A classic.

[@ElAire]

[@SamsungAe-mn8tt]

WILLIE OR MINK DEVILLE IS NOW DEAD, DUE TO HEROIN CONSUPTION. BUT I STILL LOVE THIS 1978 SONG, WHILE STUDYING ART HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY IN LYONS, FRANCE.

[@NeverMindTheBLX]

Hey Rosita! Donde vas con mi carro Rosita? Love it.

[@Challenger14156]

My grandpa who sang those lyrics, he is from El Salvador

[@johnheppenstall4904]

There's cool, like what you're told should be cool. There's cool like what a person wants you to believe about them is cool. Then there's Mr DeVille type cool. And THAT's cool.

[@olsenal]

[@TheSleathable]

Willie Deville is on my Johnny Thunders dvd just cilling out in new orleans.. he looks good for 40 in it...though looks like he might be on junk too...

[@MegaBampot]

Finished too early

[@RogueEire]

Its a bit like One More Night by Yellow Dog , isnt it.

[@Dave_D]

@mylothumbs92 Think it was a play on words... (Who Reed... Lou Reed...) 0_o

[@candelise]

@robsmallwood Can we have it in the original language? Thanks

[@TheThecyclist]

the person whistling sounds like hes whistling on his dog!

[@grizzle100]

It was indirect in that summer, background.

[@sisterdiggins]

Heartbreaking... Seriously

[@michaelwilson6483]
