Spanish Mike Looking for Love Songs

Are you good at singing Spanish — or at least willing to give it your best shot for a YouTube audience?

If so, you're invited to prepare a video response to the runaway YouTube hit One Semester of Spanish love song. The song, written entirely with grammar and vocabulary you should learn within the first few weeks of studying Spanish, has drawn well over 2 million viewings on the video-sharing network. Warning to Spanish students: Don't depend on this song as a pronunciation guide.

Now the video's lead character, known as Spanish Mike, who has been milking his video's success for all it's worth and then some, is asking his fans to make their own versions. In his video request for submissions, he asks his imitators to post their own versions of the song, and he promises to combine them into a "mashup" that he hopes will be another hit.

And who knows? It very could become popular, although none of the imitators submitted to date are nearly as good nor funny as the original; a few border on unwatchable. Spanish Mike says his new project should be good at attracting girls — but obviously not the ones with Spanish as a first language.
