elbiolin Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I was listening to Los Lobos today and I found this song: Manny's Bones. I thought the similarities are funny. Mostly when people wonder about Manny when he was alive. Also, check out the year it was published. Manny's Bones Artist: Los Lobos Album: Colossal Head Year: 1996 On the day Manuel went and died The men all laughed and the girls did cry Now it's time to lay his soul to rest Do him up in his Sunday best, oh my Manny's dead and didn't leave me none Went off to heaven, left his bed undone Gone away, he didn't leave a cent The dogs are all wonderin' where their daddy went, oh my Don't go leave me here by myself Won't hear me callin' when you've all done left Guess I didn't make it out this time But I'll be waitin' on the other side, bye bye Way down in Manny's bones A dry old river and a dusty soul We'll take him down to the fishin' hole And let the water take him to his home Way down in Manny's bones A dry old river and a dusty soul We'll take him down to the fishin' hole And let the water take him to his home Way down in Manny's bones Way down in Manny's bones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fra6160 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Wow, very interesting... I really don't know if this is a coincidence, but I noticed some things I didin't know: 1. The deads' day really exist, and Grim Fandango inspired from it 2. Maybe the makers of the game took a bit from there (the poetry that elbiolin got) to make the character of Manny Calavera and other things... who knows.
