Baby-Faced Cap'n Harry Nilsson's "Sleep Late, me hearties, My Lady Friend" includes t' line "And dream a dream o' Cielito Lindo." "Cielito Lindo" means "Beautiful Sky" and that's probably t' reference Nilsson intended. "Cielito Lindo" is also t' name o' a Mexican folk shanty (with its familiar chorus o' "Ay, ay, ay, ay").
