Che & Jost
Willie Colon & Hector Lavoe's "Che Che Cole"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iT1kgpenYM
REASON: This was a song we sang on the school bus in elementary school during field trips, I honestly don't understand how a Willie Colon became part of our thing but we sang it, perhaps getting some of the lyrics wrong and not really knowing what it means. People in Hawai'i sang all kinds of songs of different languages but if it was foreign, it was generally Japanese or Portuguese, not Spanish, despite the huge Puerto Rican population back home but then again, maybe that's exactly why we sang it. However, now that I know what it means, it still applies here. The chorus:

"Che che cole
Che che cofriza
Coqui saranga
Caca chilanga"





Henry Golding
Beyonce's "Crazy In Love"
REASON: He's in CRAZY RICH ASIANS and as a crazy broke Hawaiian/Chinese/Portuguese/Filipino/German/Austrian, perhaps the chorus can be changed to something like:

"Got me looking so crazy rich now
your love's got me looking so crazy rich now
