Phoa. There are things tough to translate. But I'll try.

Background: There are two ways of partying in Spain. One is the usual you already know, discoteques, pubs, bars, and stuff. The other way is party at the streets, every city celebrates their parties and do the fiesta in the streets once a year.

Within those street fiestas, some songs become part of the public culture, it doesn't have to be a spanish song for that, "Gimme hope Joanna" for instance is one of those songs.

What Reina is doing is a funny game of words.

He says: Waiter!! (public goes queee what) Waiter!!! (whaat!)

and then he asks to the waiter: One of Pacharan (a drink), and then he starts one of those popular songs that sounds similar, like "Pasaran mas de mil años".

When he asks for Champiñones (mushrooms) he starts the Campeones song.

And when he asks for Quesos (Cheeses), he sings "Que sos den por culo" (go and get bummed).

So, basically Bad Bob, Reina showed to me that he knows perfectly well the traditional Spanish fiesta  THAT's typically Spanish, more than bullfighting even, as that kind of songs are popular from the south, to the basque country.

Cheers, Sabre!  Strangely, after watching it a few times we got the gist of it and sort of figured it was a game with a play on words.  Had to look up Camarero to know it meant waiter and then it started to make sense.  Amazed Reina could think of these things on the fly like that, or maybe these are well-used parts of the game?  I felt like part of the fun just watching, though!

Some of those stewardesses were honey's.

Rushie#9 wishes that he got fit Spanish stewardesses doing the Macarena when he flies.
Rushie#9 usually ends up with some old boilers doing the hokey-kokey.

"Empanado" description, it's a word used a lot, not offensive, something you tell someone who is a friend usually.

It means those people who tend to buy any joke you tell them, as in you tell them you've been having a coffee with George Bush and he'll go "Really?". Also used for people who, like me, tend to forget umbrellas and things like that in public places. "Absentminded" could be the closest word I find in the dictionary, but surely you can tell me the word you use for that?

yeh - 'trigger'   based on a character in Only fools and horses
