Our good friend watishista and Napoli fan extraordinaire Maria Rosaria sent me this clip of Raul Albiol & Pepe Reina onstage with a band. Raul is trying to sing La Bamba, but lordy, is he tone deaf. Bless. I said to Maria Rosaria that I was surprised that Pepe Reina didn’t just grab the mic and have a go because that’s his style. To my delight, she came back with footage of him doing just that.
I love Raul doing the little off beat white boy shuffle while Pepe tears it up. Adorable.I think that when Pepe retires from football, he needs to have a career as a lounge singer. I can just see him with a Casio down the local Marriott rockin’ out during Happy Hour. Every week, he could bring a different one of his ‘baller friends on stage to sing with him awkwardly and out of tune. Hell, I’d go see that. Wouldn’t you?
Updated: And a wee bit more…

“Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan.” – yes, Pepe, yes you are.
