Lasagna is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. It is a parody of "La Bamba", a traditional song popularized by Ritchie Valens and Los Lobos.
Yankovic originally intended the song to be entirely in the Italian language, as "La Bamba" was entirely in Spanish, but he felt that the humor would be missed by many listeners.
