According to The San Antonio Current, American guitar icon Carlo Santana attributes his success to Guadalupe and Metatron.

“I began to integrate B.B. King with Tito Puente, Cuco Sánchez with Ray Barreto, and Mongo Santamaría with Miles Davis. People said it was something new, but for me, it was only natural.”

However, quite a few lyrics from their songs don’t appear to make sense. Let’s take a look at some of the strangest Beatles lyrics and what they mean.

This isn’t an exhaustive list; there are quite a few head-scratching lines heard in The Beatles’ discography. We think these five weird songs are worth revisiting.

We reached out to his senior staff to get the real scoop. CARLOS has a back issue about to be tended to ... "I am actually heading out for the day to meet him Forum gig tonight. So, I am begging off on doing a proper reply. But, it would be nice to catch up w/ you soon."

We hope and pray for Santana’s quick recovery.
