Published: Feb 22 2008 - 12:50 pm Last Updated: Feb 22 2008 - 1:27 pm Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy put on quite a show for Barack Obama supporters in Texas, serenading them in Spanish. During a rally in San Antonio Thursday, Kennedy sang a popular Mexican song, "Ay Jalisco No Te Rajes," before a mostly Hispanic crowd. Kennedy, who endorsed Obama for the Democratic nomination, is making several campaign stops in Texas this week, trying to drum up support for Obama before the Lone Star State's primary on March 4th.

Now it ain’t over ‘til the fat man sings??????????
or
It nice to see Simon checking in LOL!
OH LORDY that horrid that horrid of Uncle Ted
He shouldnt quit his day job *L*
Dam# you!!!
I just ate lunch!!!
Now what can make you sing that horribly and not care that you do??
That’s better than when he used to spend his Saturdays (and well into Sunday morning) hugging the bar of the Bucket O’ Blood in Hyannis, dunking one after another Chips A’Hoy into tumblers of Jamieson (bottle at his elbow), and crooning:
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot.
Drink up me ‘earties, Yo Ho!
We kidnap and ravage and don’t give a hoot.
Drink up me ‘earties, Yo Ho!
Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate’s life for me.
We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack.
Drink up me ‘earties, Yo Ho!
Maraud and embezzle and even hijack.
Drink up me ‘earties, Yo Ho!
Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate’s life for me.
Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate’s life for me.
I just heard his crooning on Hannity's show. He sounds just like Action Hotdog from Perfect Hair Forever.
I’ll pass.
I would not be surprised if he’s getting a phone call from Barack right now thanking him for campaigning, but insisting that he’s done enough and should get back to work for the American people...
You know the words! I love that song.
This is good politics, though. Those Hispanics ate that up.
It actually didn’t start out too bad, but then he kept singing. It was off pitch and off key. I found it funny, especially when he started doing a weird little dance near the end.
Mark Simone is in for Sean and keeps playing this dumb recording...
LOL
For once, he came across as your funny fat boozing uncle who you love hanging around with, rather than the disturbing alcoholic angry creep who you suspect has a dead hooker in his trunk.
“It was cabaret. You could see the same thing as some wedding or even a wake. If Ted want’s to make it through this competition he needs to remember that he has to put out his best peformance ever time, or one evening he’ll be eliminated.”
Yes Ted, go back home and plot your next career move.
The dance near the end?? That is the best part! I know that dance. We call it the Pee Pee Dance at my house because when someone starts doing that, it means they need the potty!
Youch.
>>>>>I’ve heard he has a preference for Chivas?
Bushmills and Jameson.
You should have heard his brother sing “Wild Thing.”
Whoa Nellie!! If it weren't for the fact that he once did kill a girl with his car, I'd think you were downright mean!
Ah geesh, I was just making my dinner. Fat Ted and Yoko Ono would make a real team. They could be hired to shut down dinner restaurants.
"Yo, dawg, check it out. That just wasn't making it for me, dawg. The whole thing was pretty pitchy, Ted. It wasn't your best, dawg."
If the “Fat Bastard” can sing a Spanish song so well why did he get caught cheating on a Spanish Exam at Harvard and get kicked out of school ?
Fat Teddy sees no difference between Hispanic U.S. citizens and illegal immigrants. I’m not eating anything he’s serving.
I dated a woman who grew up on Nantucket and hung out at the Kennedy’s in Hyannis. She said the family were complete drunks. They would be at the beach at 10am drinking wine.
That was LOL good!
I thought he would sing I am the Walrus
There are really no words to describe this.
Ted can make that his new career, in it, he can do much less damage !
No wonder Teddy had to hire someone to take that Spanish test for him at Harvard.
Tony Sinclair... i like that guy...
When I was studying at the Berklee College of Music (Boston) in the 1970s, one of my professors was talking about tone deafness, which is an actual condition technically called “motorial amusia.” People who suffer from this condition lack pitch memory, and so are unable to hear one note in relation to the one that went before.
He cited Ted Kennedy as someone who was known to suffer from this condition. I always wondered if it was true. Thanks for providing irrefutable proof that it is after all these years.
Actually, he SHOULD quit his day job!
A brass pair
Or “Bad to the Bone”
My thoughts exactly, get the feeling Teddy has clue what the words actually mean?? (Not that it's different when he's stammering in English).
Here Is The Song On H&C from a radio show.
“serenading them in Spanish.”
Serenading?.....please! More like “singing to throw up with”.
Your old Prof must have been out drinking with Teddy a few times. And one interesting phenomenon of this condition is also that one suffering from tone-deafness apparently BELIEVES he can sing beautifully, against all evidence to the contrary, and feels the urge to do so in public and on camera.
I caught the video on the late news last night and realized he had to have fallen off the infamous wagon again. Too bad Chris Dodd didn’t join him for a duet.
The question is , is Mary Jo humming along with him?
LOL... we’re having a great time aren’t we. That was pretty good.
You take care.
