Oye como va

I have no idea what those words mean... but they are famous on the "A" train. Everyone who comes to the city has their funny stories about the homeless people, money collectors, street performers, etc. Well when you live there it's an everyday thing, nothing seems to be out of the ordinary. You sleep through the performances, you ignore the money collectors, there's just no time and no patience for that crap. I've seen it all, but there's one guy that stands out in my mind. I'm on the "A" train at 2am on a Saturday <--- not the safest idea for a young white girl, but whatever. The train is pretty empty. (Ding Dong) Doors close an a short, Mexican man with a stuffed horse attached to his behind and a guitar in his hand gets onto the train. He's wearing a sombarro and a horse's hind legs and behind are attached to him as if he also was a horse. I don't know how exactly to explain it but being a little tipsy and seeing this is hysterical. He begins to strum and sing completely out of key "oye como va... bueno anos da..." I don't know the words as you can see but I don't think he knew them either. I had to give that guy a dollar just because he had big enough balls to do something crazy like that at crazy hours of the night. All I can say to that is... Only in NY!
