          János Székely:
          Am I the only person who is reminded of the Holly Johnson hit 
          (or flop) 'Americanos'?

Quite possibly, but just in case, here's a reminder:

'Americanos' & 'Vege—tariano' [gotta remember the luftpausen that
makes up the rhythm of the Pampas] both remind me of that master
of musical absurdity, Slim Galliard:

          Not surprisingly, given his manner of performance and his 
          private language, some people never quite understood Gaillard 
          and one radio station banned his record 'Yep Roc Heresy', 
          declaring it to be degenerate; in fact, the lyric was merely a 
          recitation of the menu from an Armenian restaurant

A favorite by Slim is "Eating With Boogie", a late effort for Verve
where Slim composes lyrics on the contents of a barbeque.

And just in case you're wondering what Slim looks like/sounds like
here's a little dance routine for you:
