Which bilingual songs (English/Spanish - or English/??) do you remember best?

My favorites are:

Baa Baa Bamba
Sing/Canta
Tu Me Gusta

PS - does anybody have Baa Baa Bamba on mp3? I'd love to burn a collection of these but only can burn from CDs, not videos.

The only ones I can remember are

Hola (with Maria and Luis dancing in the classic old movie Musical style)
Amigo (with Betty Lou)
and hace Calor/ It's hot.

Funny story about Amigo. On Plaza Sesamo, they flipflopped the song so they taught English "my friend"

I think the one with Elmo and Luis is "Tu Me Gusta" - it's on the new collection CD 3.

I vaguely remember the Linda Ronstadt number...wish I knew that one!

I know all the lyrics to the song, "Amigo." Here they are:

Amigo, amigo
Another word for friend
Come with me, amigo
There's lots of time that we can spend
Together, amigo.
We'll have a lot of fun.
It's so nice feeling friendly towards someone.
La la la la la la la la la-Amigo
La la la la la la la la la-Amigo
Amigo.
So let's you and me go
A-running down the hill
Make wishes, catch fishes
Or sit a while and just be still
I need an amigo and I can be one, too
Amigo, I'm so glad that I have you.
La la la la la la la la la la-amigo
La la la la la la la la la la-amigo
La la la la la la la la la la la
Amigo, amigo.
AMIGO!

I remember the Linda Rondstadt song very vaguely. She was with Elmo and another monster. (I guess Rosita wasn't around then, so it couldn't have been her) I don't remember much else about it though.

I don't remember what the name of the monster is but he and Elmo are riding Muppet Horses and Linda is singing a spanish song with Anything Muppets dressed like Maryiachis.
