A taco ( /ˈtɑːkoʊ/) is a traditional Mexican dish composed of a corn or wheat tortilla folded or rolled around a filling. A taco can be made with a variety of fillings, including beef, chicken, seafood, vegetables and cheese, allowing for great versatility and variety. A taco is generally eaten without utensils and is often accompanied by garnishes such as salsa, avocado or guacamole, cilantro, tomatoes, minced meat, onions and lettuce.
According to the Real Academia Española, publisher of Diccionario de la Lengua Española, the word taco describes a typical Mexican dish of a maize tortilla folded around food ("Tortilla de maíz enrollada con algún alimento dentro, típica de México"). The original sense of the word is of a "plug" or "wad" used to fill a hole ("Pedazo de madera, metal u otra materia, corto y grueso, que se encaja en algún hueco"). The Online Etymological Dictionary defines taco as a "tortilla filled with spiced meat" and describes its etymology as derived from Mexican Spanish, "light lunch," literally, "plug, wadding." The sense development from "plug" may have taken place among Mexican silver miners, who used explosive charges in plug form consisting of a paper wrapper and gunpowder filling.
Parry Gripp (born September 22, 1967) is a singer-songwriter as well as lead vocalist and guitarist for the pop punk band Nerf Herder.
As a songwriter, Gripp is best known for fake jingles, as in his 2005 solo album For Those About to Shop, We Salute You - a 51-track concept album mimicking various musical styles as product commercials. While it does not have one single concept, it goes through many various concept suites, such as trucks, beer, and insomnia. He also maintains a song-of-the-week website and a YouTube channel on which he creates soundtracks to internet memes as well as music videos for his own novelty songs, with titles including "Do You Like Waffles?", "Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom", "Last Train to Awesometown", "Spaghetti Cat (I weep for you)", "Hamster on a Piano (Eating Popcorn)", "I Am A Banana" and "Baby Monkey (Going Backwards On A Pig)". Gripp also performs the Super Hero Squad Show theme song.
Gripp also joined forces with MC Lars to perform some of the vocals, including the chorus, to 'Guitar Hero Hero (Beating Guitar Hero Doesn't Make You Slash)' a song commenting on the notion that video games like Guitar Hero take kids away from playing in bands and actually learning their instruments.

Plot
RICHARD'S WEDDING is an ensemble comedy that explores how the most enduring friendships require a mixture of envy, love and ridiculous egomania disguised as self-contempt. Alex and Tuna are on their way to Richard and Phoebe's wedding, to be reunited with a group of old friends. As they make their trek from Brooklyn to Central Park, they're joined by an ever-increasing number of friends with their own set of misgivings, self-righteousness, and violently annoying iPhone Apps.
Tuna: I just wear three condoms because it makes my penis bigger.
Alex: Okay, one time I did actually punch him in the face, but I feel really awful about it.::Tuna: What did he do?::Alex: We had this huge fight and I blew my lid... I blew my top, and I just punched him. It was just awful.::Tuna: That's such bullshit. You see, a woman can hit a guy in the face, and no one says anything. They laugh about it. It's cute. It's endearing. If a guy hits a girl in the face, it's abuse.
Russell: Fuck Victor Frankl!::Kristin: How can you say that?::Russell: Simple. Take the name 'Victor Frankl' and put the word 'fuck' in front of it.
Alex: You cannot break up with someone because they yell, especially because it's hereditary.

I was tripping balls pretty hard, man. So I decided to get on my bench grinder, and a piece of metal flew up and hit me right in the eye. It was pretty awesome. And that brings us to now.::Rod Kimble: Yeah, well, just try and relax.::Dave: Can do, man. Can do. I'm gonna be honest with you, Rod.

Winchester Cathedral
You're bringin' me down
You stood there and watched as
My baby left town
You could've done something
But you didn't try
You didn't do nothing
You let her walk by

She wouldn't have gone far away
If only you'd started ringing your bell

You stood there and watched as
I found her in a dirty little cafe
In an obscure part of Reno, sleeping in a corner
Her features suggested further beauty
But the picture she presented just made me shiver
I thought of the endless nights just searching
With a handful of indications, most of them were useless
Now that the journey was over, I wondered
Was it worth it, what had happened to the girl?
Carmella, people call you the mystery star
You live on as a legend, but I searched for the truth
Carmella, you have haunted me ever since
When I once featured beside you with a one-sentence line
I ordered two double whiskey sodas
As I needed all the courage to go and wake her
Then suddenly, two eyes burned right through me
I wanted to be certain who sat before me
She told me that there were many reasons
About her disappearance, the torment she'd been through
Surgeons had ruined her sister's face
Then they made her take her place, but Conchita couldn't act
Carmella, people call you the mystery star
You live on as a legend, but I searched for the truth
Carmella, you have haunted me ever since
When I once featured beside you with a one-sentence line

or "umberellas" in their mitts,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Have you seen the well-to-do up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air
High hats and Arrow collars white spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime for a wonderful time

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh, why can't I
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh, why can't I
If happy little bluebirds
Fly beyond the rainbow
He ruled the golden silent screen
He haunted millions in their dreams
His memory lives on till today
Some even say that he was lonely
So listen to my story, here's some heavy news
Get a hold of this one
Some men think that they are hot
But they ain't got the charm of Valentino
When that man gave you the eye
The masses would just melt and sigh for Tino
Each new part he played made him a superstar
My favorite pantomime, he never spoke a line
People pass away, but legends stay
Valentino, R.I.P.
My favorite sheik of Araby
You put us all in ecstasy
Take any dream or fantasy
You made them true, not just for me
So if I'm not being too cheeky
Listen now and hear this one
Fairbanks, Chaplin, Barry Moore
Had leading ladies by the score like Tino
Sure, they all could Latin love
But there was only one like Valentino
There were rumors 'bout his personality
Well, let me tell you dear, don't believe all you hear
As Grandpa died he whispered in my ear
Tino was his favorite star
So if I'm not being too cheeky
Listen now and get a hold of this one
Fairbanks, Chaplin, Barry Moore

People pass away, but legends stay
Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me heaven sighs
And tho I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak...angels sing from above
Everyday words seem...to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
Every evening, eight o'clock
The curtain's up, the band begins to play
The mayor's there, his lovely wife's been
Squeezed into the fashions of the day
You make your entrance on time
Decadent, thrilling, divine
You're hypnotic, so exotic
The audience just sighs and melts away
Encore, show us more
Sweet Gipsy Rose-a
Encore, they shout more
Se magnifica
Such a pretty face
Than of you boding into space
So give them more, encore
Tre magnifica
Twelve o'clock, the stage is bare
The curtain's down, the show comes to an end
Waiting in the wings, I see the silhouette of him
Your current friend
Without me, your show wouldn't be
Professional right down to a 'T'
Yes, I'm the one who pulls the curtain down
Yes, I'm the one you'll never see
Encore, show them more
Sweet Gipsy Rose-a

I should care
I should go around weeping

I should go without sleeping
Strangely enough, I sleep well
Except for a dream or two
But then I count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can lull you to sleep, so
I should care
I should let it upset me
I should care
But it just doesn't get me
Maybe I won't find someone
As lovely as you
But I should care
And I do

My God, you fly thousands of miles to get some sun
And it's rainin' cats and dogs!
Typical tropical, I go on vacation and Mother Nature gives up on me
Yeah, what a lady
Thanks for at least sendin' it down pre-heated!
Doesn't seem to bother the natives, though
Back home it gets no one laughin', and here they even sing to it
Must be some voodoo rain chant or somethin', humph!
And it sure sounds familiar, oh well
I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again
I'm laughin' at clouds, so dark up above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase, everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, got a smile on my face
I walk down the lane with a happy refrain
I'm singin', just singin' in the rain
Let it rain all day
I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again
I'm laughin' at clouds, so dark up above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase, everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, got a smile on my face
I walk down the lane with a happy refrain

I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again

The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase, everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, got a smile on my face
I walk down the lane with a happy refrain
I am singin' and dancin' just getting wet in the rain
Let it rain all day
Buckets of sunshine that bring me your love
Buckets of sunshine that bring me your love
Let it rain all day, I love the rainy day

There may be trouble ahead
But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance
Let's face the music and dance
Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bill and while you still have the chance
Let's face the music and dance
Soon, we'll be without the moon
Humming a different tune, and then
There may be teardrops to shed
So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance
Let's face the music and dance, dance

Contessa, of Tridessa
Frequented clubs of bad taste
In disguise she mine the hunter (???)
Only to play with her brain
Her husband at home without a notion
Led a dull, secluded life
Tell the night he ???
Now he hunts her night and day
Trivialities and fate, with a pinch of spice and vice
Has changed the lives of small and great
La chambre separée, that lusty hideaway
Has many little secrets who tell of yesterday
Some trivial, some trite, some oo-la-la's in white
Some rendezvous made history or ended in a fight
Napolean Bonaparte
Was fooled, went out on a spree
Girls amused him in the chamber
There was no way he could flee
His generals, ??? conspired
France was ready for a little break
They dethroned their ruler
Locked in the gwudarufay (???)
Trivialities and fate, with a pinch of spice and vice
Has changed the lives of small and great
La chambre separée, that lusty hideaway
Has many little secrets who tell of yesterday
Some trivial, some trite, some oo-la-la's in white
If you're blue and you don't know
where to go to why don't you go
where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types who wear a day
coat pants with stripes and cutaway
coat perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers
walk with sticks or um-ber-ellas
in their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz
Have you seen the well-to-doUp and down Park AvenueOn that famous thoroughfareWith their noses in the airHigh hats, and arrow collarsWhite spats, and lots of dollarsSpending every dimeFor a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know
where to go to why don't you go

Play it again, Wern
Thanks a million, a million thanks to you
For everything that love could bring, you brought me
Each tender love word you happened to say
Is hidden away in memory's bouquet
Thanks a million, for I remember too
The tenderness that your caress has taught me
You made a million dreams come true
And so I'm saying thanks a million
Thanks a million to you, Wern
To you Fran for the sound
Ray for the bass, Lena for I Should Care
And David Parker for making this record possible
If you're blue and you don't know
where to go to why don't you go

You are my lucky star
I saw you from afar
Two lovely eyes, at me they were beamin', gleamin'
I was star-struck
You're all my lucky charms
I'm lucky in your arms
You've opened heaven's portal here on earth for this poor mortal
You are my lucky star
In my imagination, I saw a star-lit sky so bright
In my imagination, there I saw you in the night
And then one day I found you, but I could not realize
My lucky star shining, right before my very eyes, oh
You are my lucky star
I saw you from afar
If God was a glamorous creature
You're a four-star feature
Though you are never seen
Up on some movie screen
You are my Schear, Crawford, Hepburn, Harlow, and my Garbo
You are my lucky star
You are my lucky star
You know I saw you, baby, from afar
Two lovely eyes, at me they were beamin', gleamin'
You know I was star-struck
Although you are never seen
Up on some movie screen
You've opened heaven's portal here on earth for this poor mortal

(Chichi con c-con con chichi chichi con c-con)
Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven (cheek to cheek), I'm in heaven (cheek to cheek)
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek (cheek to cheek)
Oh, I love to climb the mountain, and to reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to go a-fishin', in a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much as dancing cheek to cheek
Dance with me, I want my arms about you
The charm about you will carry me through to
Heaven (cheek to cheek), I'm in heaven (cheek to cheek)
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek (cheek to cheek)
[Repeat previous verse]
I don't wanna climb no mountain, I don't wanna swim no creek
All I ever wanna do with you honey is dance cheek to cheek
Dance with me, I want you to dance
(Cheek to cheek)
(Chichi con c-con con chichi chichi con c-con)
(Chichi con c-con con chichi chichi con c-con)
(Chichi con c-con con chichi chichi con c-con)
(Chichi con c-con con chichi chichi con c-con)
(Now ain't it sheik to dance cheek to cheek)
(Says that a freak won't dance cheek to cheek)
(You pull real close to the one that you love)
(Slide and glide, side to side, through the night)
(Now Freddy took his Ginger, and Judy took her Gene)
(Now they will show the world how to dance some steam)
(So, come on now and try it, a good time's guaranteed)
