songs??


i'm wondering if anyone knows the name of the song they sing in the back of the diner or the one when they're picking tomatoes, i think it's about superman being an illegal alien. thanks.

Yes, please more information about the songs. I liked the "title" song too, (the "par de miradas" song) and all of the music. It would be nice if IMDB would routinely list music credits. Someone on this board gave the following link to Desvelado (Sleepless) and I would buy the soundtrack album. Anybody can help with "Superman" and the rest? http://www.last.fm/music/Bobby+Pulido/_/Desvelado

Here's an example of corrido humor:

"Superman Is An Illegal"
(in the movie, performed by Kinky)

Spoken:

It's a bird.
It's a plane.
No, it's a wetback.
Sung:

1. He arrived by air, but not in an airplane
He came in his ship all the way from Krypton
and it appears that he is not an American.
Rather, he is just like me, undocumented.

2. So you see, Border Patrol, he shouldn't work
because even though it hurts, Superman is an illegal alien.
He's a journalist, well so am I
and he didn't go into the Army, oh what a deal.

3. And he is blonde, blue-eyed, and well-built
and I'm dark, chubby, and very short.
But at least I have already marched (in the military)
with the smuggler I had to pay when I crossed (the border).

4. He didn't comply with military service,
he doesn't pay taxes and he acts like a judge.
He doesn't have a green card nor a license to fly,
and I bet he doesn't even have a social security card.

5. We have to deport Superman from this region
and if possible return him to Krypton.
Where are the immigration authorities when you need them?
What's new, Mr. Racism, in the nation?
