In the recent posted interview concerning Kate's videos and so forth,
Kate mentions that many people who talked to her about Sat In Your Lap
commented on the "spanish-ness" of the track and that's why she
incorporated such images into the video.  So, would someone
knowledgeable on Spanish music fill me in?  Do Spanish sounding tunes
often incorporate WHAM-WHAM-WHAMming toms in 12/8 time?  Were Kate's
friends doing severe hits of laudanum or something?  What, precisely,
has a Spanish influence on SIYL?  Maybe the horn arrangement?  I'm
mystified... I turn to the LH community for enlightenment...
