In an old Simpsons episode (The Otto Show) Homer is waiting for Bart and Milhouse in his car and turns on the radio. Spanish Flea is playing and he sings the following lyrics.
There was a little Spanish flea.
A record star he thought he’d be.
He heard of singers like Beatles,
The Chipmunks he’d seen on TV.
Why not a little Spanish flea?And so he hid inside a dog…
There is an amusing flash movie called Mr. Nice that plays the Spanish Flea song. In this touching masterpiece, a pink blob with eyes, a belly button and a pair of underpants says that he doesn’t have any arms or hands, but that doesn’t stop him from dancing, then asks if you’d like to see him dance. If you choose yes, he girates his lower torso to the melodious song of Spanish Flea.
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass composed the song, making all of this possible. They deserve an award.
Oh that little mister Nice and his armless pelvic thrusts. Who are you to resist!?
Here are some more lyrics. I’m not sure where they’re from.
It’s also being played in the background when Homer’s waiting for his car in the Simpsons episode where they go to the Superbowl
It like the song it needs to be available as a ring tone for nokia 3315 mobiles!
which tv program was this the theme tune to????
I have no idea.
i love this song, its on the simpsons episode ‘the otto show’, i cant get it out of head its cracks me up every time!
it was the theme to the dating game
I have a Nokia composer rintone avaliable for spanish flea, which i wrote myself. if you are interested please email me at [email protected]
you all suck
You do too, mr cool. You do too.
the little spanish flea was also the theme to the newlywed game, fyi
yes, Homer Simpson sings it as he is waiting in the car-park for Bart and Milhouse at the Spinal Tap concert, this cracks me up. There is a riot going on at the same time and Homer is totally oblivious to it.
There was a little spanish flea
it could count from 1 to 3
thats all i can remember
We work in an emergency department and when it gets too intense we play spanish flea. Try it at your workplace, it will crack everybody up.
little spanish flea la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I believe that the theme to the Dating Game/Newlywed Game was “Tijuana Taxi,” also by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, not “Little Spanish Flea.”
does anyone know the website for the “Mr. Nice” cartoon? I can’t find it.
A Google search for mr_nice.swf has plenty of results.

Spanish Flea Lyrics
There was a little Spanish Flea
A record star he thought he’d be
He heard of singers like Beatles
The Chipmunks he’d seen on TV
Why not a little Spanish Flea?
And so he hid
Inside a doggie from Madrid
He arrived in the city
Still singin his sweet harmony
As proud as any Flea could be
He walked around
As if he owned the town
Humming his pint sized melody
With his guitar he knew he’d be a star
And in his own hometown, how proud he’d be
Then all at once he met a man
Who said, “I’ll help you if I can”
He listened close to his song
And then he sang right along for you see
He loved that little Spanish Flea
(missing verse, lol)
There was a little spanish flea
and it could count from 1 to 3
and thats all i can remember
From days of September,
Poor me!
There was a little Spanish Flea
Um…it takes FIVE SECONDS to comment on something. How does it make someone any more a loser than any other form of conversation?
on the same episode as the Spanish Flea, when they first flash to homer in the car, he is humming a different song…something like” da da-da, da da-da, da da da da-da…. what song is that?????
In Spain (Castellano):
Habia una mosquita muy bella
Queria llegar a ser estrella
Estaba viendo a los Beatles
Estaba viendo a los Queen
En la tele
Y yo queria ser asi
Spanish Flea is ace. I’ve been humming the tune all morning and googled “homer sings song about a flea” to find out what it was called. Thanks for all the lyrics you lot have posted.
The song is so notable, it features on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Flea
