"Spanish Flea" is a song that was originally made popular by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, and was featured on their 1965 album, Going Places. It was later covered by Trudy Pitts on her debut album Introducing the Fabulous Trudy Pitts (1967).
"Spanish Flea" was used as the "Bachelor’s Theme" on the long-running American television show The Dating Game.
It was also featured on an episode of The Simpsons, where it was sung by leading character Homer with made-up lyrics:
- There was a little Spanish flea
- A record star he thought he'd be
- He heard of singers like Beatles
- And the chipmunks he'd seen on TV ...
- Why not a Little Spanish flea?
- And so he hid
- Inside a doggie from Madrid
- He arrived in the city
- Still singin’ his sweet harmony
- As proud as any flea could be
- He walked around
- As if he owned the town
- Humming his pint sized melody
- With his guitar he knew he'd be a star
- And in his own home town, how proud he'd be
- Then all at once he met a man
- Who said, "I'll help you if I can"
- He listened close to his song
- And then he sang right along for you see
- He loved that little spanish flea.
