Last weekend I played Madonna's 'La Isla Bonita' on the radio and said my Spanish was a little rusty but, as near as I could figure, it meant: "I would like to stand on your Grandmother."

As a long time Spanish language manipulator of the fourth rank, La Isla Bonita means "beautiful little island" or, after a couple of cervezas, "the island of the small, feisty, female tuna fish".
