I'm trying to find a song that Mo is just crazy about. He asked the school's music teacher to put a copy on his iPod but he wouldn't/couldn't. He then asked if he could get a print out of the song's music and lyrics and the teacher told him to check the school's website but so far it hasn't been posted.
I'm not sure what language the song is and I have no idea how to spell it so I'm stumbling and stumped.
Phoentically it would be (according to Mo's pronunciation):
KWAN-ito KWAN-do VI-ya
So I've tried several variations of "quinito quando villa" but I haven't come up with anything other than a suggestion to check my spelling.
Does anyone know what song this might be and where I might find a recording of it?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!

Errr.... could it be "Juanito cuando baila"?
It could be anything!
Is that a real song? That could be it!
Sounds like it could be something like "Juanito, cuando vaya", which might mean something like "When you should go, Juanito", like a leaving song.
Asked Google
Spanish fok song that starts "Juanito, cuando"
and it came back with hits for a Spanish finger play song with "Juanito cuando baila" in it, looks like the one who said that above (I haven't figured out how to scroll back when I'm typing an answer--sorry I don't remember your name) nailed it.
@old europe,
SCORE!!
Thank you old europe!!
Mo confirms that this is the right song.
Brilliant!
@MontereyJack,
Thank you too, Montery Jack. I really appreciate it.
Now at least I have a way to search for the version of it that Mo has fallen in love with.
@boomerang,
Well, you can tell Mo that you found it due to your wicked phonetic transcription skills....!

@Butrflynet,
Google's translation is a bit off.
Here's mine
Juanito when he dances,
dances, dances, dances,
Juanito when he dances,
Dances with a finger,
With a finger, inger, inger
That's the way Juanito dances
Of course it doesn't sound as pretty in English.
