Lucy Mexican/Italy Hat Dance..avi

[@matthewkaiser76]

I love it! Desi and Lucy both try DESPERATELY not to laugh.

[@ericandy88]

They often filmed scenes in episodes straight through without stopping, just like a play. Had Lucy & Desi broke down, it would have been kept in the final show for that reason, but also because it would have been entirely in character.

[@amandaknauss6031]

I agree

[@whewfan]

@@ericandy88 They both held in the laughter as best as they could. The only other time they came close to breaking down laughing (besides the pilot, where Desi holds in from laughing from Lucy making fun of his English, causing Lucy to hold it in as well) was the Hollywood episode when Lucy tells Ricky "I vanced with Dan" then quickly corrects herself and, trying not to laugh, says "I danced with Van Johnson!" Desi then ad-libs "Vanced with Dan?!"

[@chayito7]

I love it!!! How funny this two couples were. I learned so much of my English through this amazing show. Not mentioning how much I laughed.

[@TheThomasmoon]

I believe people will still be laughing at the show 100 years from now

[@YouheardaboutPluto]

This is one of my fav moments from the show. I thought it was great when it was Lucy and Ricky teaming up for a scheme.

[@mxmxpr]

Such a great classic moment, still hysterical. The idea that this is going on at 4:30 a.m. is a riot. "Mexican Hat Dance" is what plays at the end. The first song & dance is "La Raspa," otherwise known by its Cuban form, "El Breako the Leaso!"

[@rockydavis94]

Thank you for giving me the song name, I’ve spent a long time searching for it. I use to have it as a ringtone for the family phone yeas ago and my parents and I would do the humming

[@Duquedecastro]

The Mexican Hat Dance is a combination of both the Jarabe Tapatío and La Raspa. The Jarabe Tapatío originated as a courtship dance in Guadalajara, Jalisco, during the 19th century, although its elements can be traced back to the Spanish zambra and jarabe gitano, which were popular during the times of the viceroyalty of New Spain (Mexico before independence). La Raspa is from Veracruz. The name is derived from the Old Germanic verb "raspere", meaning "to grate upon", later coming into Spanish probably by the Visigoths.

[@spencerweeks3980]

[@TheGreekPianist]

LMAO it's so hilarious how the people in the background continued to smile and dance when the doorbell was buzzing 😆

[@retroguy9494]

If you look at the woman to the left of Ethel at :36, that's Barbara Pepper who would go on to play Mrs. Doris Ziffel in Green Acres. Lucy was a very good person who helped people. She and Pepper had broken into show business around the same time and were Goldwyn Girls together. By this time, Pepper could not get work, partially because she was an alcoholic. So Lucy would help her earn money by giving her bit parts on the show.

[@MP-lq3xx]

thanks for the info...and catch of her appearance❤

[@alexanderestrada2499]

I remember I the first time I ever saw this when Ethel and Fred appeared covered in plaster I just couldn't stop ROTGLMFAO.

[@marynace6294]

They were a great team miss these classic shows

[@AdeleLarsen-zf8my]

Lucy & Desi we’re about to burst out laughing when they came in🤣

[@bostonblackie9503]

This episode was audio recorded and played on radio, for people who didn't have TV in their area at the time! Narration was required and it was done by Desi Arnez.

[@manuelorozco7760]

One of my favorite Lucy moments! #FlashbackFriday

[@marthalrodriguez.2209]

Oh my goodness. This was soooooo funny. 😅

[@debraphilip6173]

This was and is so great hilarious!!!😂😂

[@alexrodgers9247]

Can we go back to that? The simpler days?

[@richintalent]

You can see Lucy and Desi visibly trying not to crack up at the end

[@hebneh]

It’s OK that they’re laughing because it would be what the characters of Lucy and Ricky would be doing, seeing Fred and Ethel like this.

[@goldeneve]

El breako the leaso lol

[@angelquinn0146]

This video is hysterically hilarious. The I love Lucy Show was funny as hell. I ended up laughing so hard at this funny clip. Which episode is this from? This is really good. Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@PhyllisRandle-oy2dp]

What about the other tenants?

[@lynnharris3189]

This type I would think the apartment residents call the police.

[@suzycreamcheesez4371]

what on earth is Lucy wearing on her feet?

[@whewfan]

I believe she was wearing clogs to make the sound from her shoes much louder.

[@suzycreamcheesez4371]

[@katiapiccoli8761]

Excuse me, this is italian dance no mexican

[@sakisgoutas]

Ναι συμφωνώ, το πρώτο τραγούδι λέγεται La Raspa, και στην Κουβανέζικη μορφή του λέγεται El Breako the Leaso.

[@Duquedecastro]

Wrong. These are both Mexican songs.

[@Duquedecastro]

The Mexican Hat Dance is a combination of both the Jarabe Tapatío and La Raspa. The Jarabe Tapatío originated as a courtship dance in Guadalajara, Jalisco, during the 19th century, although its elements can be traced back to the Spanish zambra and jarabe gitano, which were popular during the times of the viceroyalty of New Spain (Mexico before independence). La Raspa is from Veracruz. Neither is Italian.

[@enderclasscraft6411]

I'm Mexican, this danced here

[@matteusconnollius1203]

Please don't get mad at me for getting mad at a 1950s sitcom, but the Ricardos apparently are throwing a temper tantrum after The Mertzes asked them to stop making noise at night and so are harassing and terrorizing them?

[@cubey]

You have to see the entire episode to get the context. In the beginning, they were all singing and Lucy asks if they are making too much noise so late and the Mertzes say something like "it's music!" but the Mertzes go home and immediately get mad when Lucy and Ricky continue so they were two faced about it. They don't care about disturbing others but when they get disturbed by the very same thing, they get mad.
