La Bamba was first recorded (R&R - 1958) by Ritchie Valens (Valenzuela), the B-side on Del-Fi 4110. "Donna" was the A-side. I would have referenced Ritchie before Los Lobos. Ahh, but that's just me.hornet61 said:

GLB you are absolutely right Ritchie the original should go first, this had to do with foreign language songs that went to number 1, unfortunately Ritchies didn't.
A point well made. We agree,hornet61 said:

On the "newer" side, but along foreign language lines, there is also "Eres Tu", by Mocedades. I am reasonably certain that "Eres Tu Touch The Wind" went to No. 1.

Yes, somewhere but not on Billboard IIRC. Great song, the flip side of the 45 was the English version in mono.

There may be a local secret reason for this,landtuna said:
but,
as an outsider, I'll proffer a guess...
"DAY-O" shouted in unison by the home fans seems to be an intimidating sound to the visitors, similar to the raucous chant of "WE WILL, WE WILL...ROCK YOU" in many home stadia. "DAY-O" is used during AAA baseball games at my home town field - it excites the crowd and gets them into the game.
Yes it is also used at some MLB stadiums.

Exactly.
