What I wanted to ask you is if Els Pets is in English, meaning The Pets (like kitty-kats), or in Catalan, meaning something like The Bangs (The Hits, The Knocks, The Whacks?) ? (Nothing else).

Since I heard We're From Barcelona I can't get the #!*!!#@! tune out of my head!

Els pets.. is actually more associated with the Farts in catalan.

But it also can mean bangs... but typically farts or anything like makes a similar sound.

Lovely song the Barcelona one.. I am form Barcelona too!!!!

A pleasure
