Discovered tonight that The Peels recorded a followup to Juanita Banana, this time with the chorus being based on the familiar melody used in the "Habanera" from Bizet's opera [i]Carmen[/i]. However, given that the Carmen piece is itself based on another work, I'm thinking this should be based on that work rather than "Habanera"


Normally in situations like this I would ask the editor(s) who added the works, but since these were added by CarlDennis, that's not possible...


Original worK: El arreglito

Bizet work: Habanera (L'amour est un oiseau rebelle)
