As regular visitors for over 20 years we have seen a lot of changes, not all for the best. However this song captures the atmosphere of the Yumbo at night. Lorraine is a comedy genius and this song always features on my iPod when I'm on Gran Canaria. Congratulations on getting to the semi-finals on Britain's Got Talent 2015. Even if the The Queen doesn't get to see you, you know there are plenty more queens that love you! X
Lorraine you got it spot on! Everything is tacky in the Yumbo - and that's why we love it! We have been going there for the last 17 years and I can't wait to go again and listen to this track on my mp3 player as I walk around. Thank you, Hugs! Dolly
Just found you on You Tube Lorraine, I love this song so much. YOu had me laughing so much I nearly fell off my swivel chair. Love the goner-air ria line!!!!!!!!! Thank you. You are a real tonic.
It was so fantastic to see you get through to the semi finals Lorraine. We had to watch the recording as we were in Gran Canaria at the time. Hope to see you on stage at GC pride next year! Lol xxx
We agree the video needs updating for 2015! Here now and most of the places exist however the high quality table cloth largest selection doesn't sell any table cloths! It was like a Lorraine Bowen eye spy finding the sights
I really wish I had seen you perform your hit record ""Yumbo Centre, Gran Canaria"" at the centre itself... you could make a fortune touting for tips if you performed in the summer months. The song is just so fitting for the centre and non-offensive with great humour its a defo Classic
Lovely song Lorraine + very funny! Although straight I took a trip to the Yumbo one evening whilst in GC...... erm...yeah, certainly an eye opener! Great job sweet, keep it up!
Hey Lorraine - heading off there on Monday with a Yumbo virgin in tow. Where's the updated video? Lol I'm sure you're busy and hopefully producing a few more new songs and videos for your fans :) Xxx
Big kudos for the mention of Lady Gaga!! Fab video, and I've actually been there, though I don't remember half that stuff happening when I was there! I probably went on a Sunday!
Oh my, you are so great! you're officially my new role model and when i grow up i want to be just like you. just so you'll know, the person i looked up to before was carmen miranda.
@dollyknockers O I c, that could b y then lol, Ricky's bar is ace!! u defo beat me I have only been to playa del ingles twice, maybe 1 day I will catch u up :D
Dieser Song und das Video erwecken Erinnerungen an die Tage im Januar 2015 - Sonne satt, alles blüht ohne Ende und dazu die spanische Musik mit immer zum Feiern aufgelegten Spaniern - da wird sehr schnell eine lange Nacht daraus ... !! Aber das Leben ist kurz und die Zeit, welche man zur Verfügung hat, sollte man auch nutzen !! ( Andere Meinungen dazu sind akzeptiert ... !! )
Hi Max Weis! I've translated your post using the great Google translating service but can't decide whether it's a compliment or a criticism! I'm none the wiser! xx 'This song and video awaken memories of the days in January 2015 - tired of the sun, everything blooms and no end to the Spanish music with more to celebrate launched Spaniards - there is a long night of it ... very fast !! But life is short and the time that you have available, you should also use !! (Other opinions on this are accepted ... !!)'
Welch eine Überraschung !! Habe soeben von Lorraine Bowen eine Mail erhalten u. sie freut und bedankt sich, dass mir der Videoclip mit dem "Yumbo Centre - Song" so gut gefällt. Kannst ja mal selbst lesen u. heute Abend habe ich dann auch wieder etwas mehr Zeit für dich !! 😍 🙋 Also bis später ... 👍
Also wer Cran Canaria nicht liebt hat kein Empfinden für die dortige Schönheit und Vielfalt der Natur. Es war jedesmal ein Erlebnis,wenn mich am frühen Morgen frei herumlaufende zahme Pfauen weckten ( natürlich um Futter zu erbetteln ), dazu kamen alle möglichen Vogelarten, welche ich nicht einmal alle dem Namen nach kenne, in einer Palme vor meinem Bungalow gab es Dutzende große und kleine Papageien mit ihrem Geschrei ohne Ende u.s.w. Deshalb ist diese Insel meine zweite Wahlheimat geworden und spätestens im April oder Mai MUSS ICH WIEDER LOS !!!!! ~ 😎 ~
@gutlover33uk Got to say I'm gay and i think it's funny, Im not offended in any way. The tune is a bit on the tacky side, just like the rest of the Yumbo centre really. I think it.s good that we have this forum so that unimportant Queens ,just like meself can stand on our big pink soapbox and winge on endlessly about subjects so unimportant that they will fade away into the bowels of time un-noticed, hope nobody's offended by my outburst of free speech
Cracking up to tears 😂 as beautiful as it is hilarious! Thank you Lorraine
Glad you enjoyed it - I desperately need an update this year!

Big kudos for the mention of Lady Gaga!! Fab video, and I've actually been there, though I don't remember half that stuff happening when I was there! I probably went on a Sunday!
Great song! Lyrics are sooo true! Does anyone know which song from the 50's it sounds like?? The tune is so familiar... ;-)))
