    That is all for me, Itá

    Artist: Madonna
    Real Lyric: La isla bonita



    The story:

    The narrator clearly sees San Pedro as her idea of paradise,
    so my version made sense to me, despite Itá being an
    unusual name in both English and Spanish--she was telling
    her friend (or possibly the bartender) that she would live full
    time in San Pedro if she could.

    When this song first came out, I thought it was called
    "Spanish Lullaby". I learned the correct title of the song from
    one of the Gavin Edwards mondegreen books published in
    the 1990s, which features the mishearing of "San Pedro" as
    "some bagels".

    On a closer listen, it turns out that Madonna sings, "LA is-LA
    bo-NI-i-TA", which puts the em-PHA-sis on the wrong syl-LA-
    bles (it should be, "la IS-la bo-NI-ta").
