"Saying AYO, Yo No Puedo"

Okay, if that title makes any sense to you whatsoever, congratulations, you have not only heard of the song "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz, but you are also familiar with the plethora of parody videos going viral on You Tube.  My students have particularly found a liking for the ones that quote the following, although you should probably know the real lyrics first.  


Real lyrics:  "I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, saying AYO gotta let go"


Some of the top parodies as quoted by students:
"I throw my sandwich in the air sometimes, saying AYO, forgot the mayo"
"I throw my homework in the air sometimes, saying AYO I'll take the zero"
"I throw my xbox in the air sometimes, saying AYO, I'll play Nintendo"
"I throw my Call-4 in the air sometimes, saying AYO, I'll play Halo"
"I throw my Skittles in the air sometimes, saying AYO, taste the rainbow"


Love them!  Here is one video specifically that highlights the above phrases.  Is it the one my students are quoting?  Not per se, but it has the same lines.  


And hey, if they can come up with their own why can't we?  Ergo, my Spanish contribution:  "Tiro tarea en el aire yo digo AYO, yo no puedo".
