I'd even searched that song earlier to make the point, but felt I'd pushed the limit yesterday, so I laid back. However, if I were the constructor of this puzzle, that would be my defense of the clue. It makes sense to me.

And I know how we all appreciate multiple uses of the tongue.<br /><br />I believe the "L" in Polish is pronounced like an L. There is another character which is a crossed L, pronounced like a W, and that is what you find in the middle of a Gołąbki. You can see it in C.A.'s wiki link. I always hear it pronounced G'wumbkey. No idea how that "M" sound gets in there.<br /><br />Another Polish tradition in the Detroit area is to have <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C4%85czki" rel="nofollow">Pączki,</a> pronounced poonchkey, on Fat Tuesday. No idea how that "N" sound gets in there.<br /><br />I think Salsa Caliente must refer to dancing. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLng5djVkq8" rel="nofollow">Here's Gloria to convince you.</a><br /><br />Definitely yes to salt on a margarita. No on a single malt, though.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />JzBJazzbumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337490817307473659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-60748744147415820302011-09-16T18:41:49.927-05:002011-09-16T18:41:49.927-05:00For Tinbeni and for Avg Joe too.....Buster Poindex...For Tinbeni and for Avg Joe too.....Buster Poindexter and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrhf_zgtmAg" rel="nofollow">Hot, Hot, Hot</a>.

I caught the theme with THE ROYAL WE, followed by MEDITERRANEAN SI and the rest seemed to fall into place.
