I think those are fake cigarettes, but I've no doubt there will be uproar from certain quarters! Presumably smoking is integral to the song. Any Spanish speakers out there who can enlighten us? Hope you get a restful sleep. I don't know how you manage night shifts, they nearly killed me! xx

It would be a bit of a fire hazard giving (I presume) a lot of non smokers real cigarettes, the way they're waving them around. It looks like they had fun.
Great fun! I can tell you now being an ex smoker that one drag on a fag and I would be coughing my lungs up unable to talk let alone sing... I hasten to bet not one of them smokes!
I wish I knew what they were saying. It reminds me of the choir of schoolboys singing a tribute to Serge Gainsbourg.
ReplyDeleteI just thought I wish I knew what they were saying too. It looks fun!

ReplyDeleteVery unique, and you can tell that virtually all of them are actually non-smokers by the way they are holding the cigarettes. :-)
