From the archive: The songs that all Mexicans magically know

Living in Mexico for a long time, the author feels that Mexico has raised her as if she were a baby. They love karaoke and have a passion for pretending to be rockstars. However, they realize they are not Mexican and observe that everyone seems to know all the words to Mexican songs. The author wonders where they learn these songs and learns that children listen to their parents' music and hear it at parties.

The author admits to catching up later and mentions some universally known Mexican songs including "El Rey" by Vicente Fernández, "Rata de Dos Patas" by Paquita la del Barrio, "Bésame Mucho" by Consuelo Velázquez, "Amor Eterno" by Juan Gabriel, "El Triste" by José José, "Mis Ojos Lloran por Ti" by Big Boy, "Que Bello" by Sonora Dinamita, and "Si No Te Hubieras Idó" by Marco Antonio Solís.
