La Bomba

Was just thinking here who remember the Richie Valens song "La Bomba" and who knows what la bomba is in English.
Hint: It drips in sexual innuendo.

Si. The Bomb. And though I was a sailor I never was a captain.

I didn't spell check. Just took the question as it was spelled. (en la pregunta)

And I was just referring to the fact that in my OWN life I was a sailor but never a captain. I know what the song means. Big Bopper explained it to me.

Thought someone would have Googled it by now. It translates to the pump, always thought it to be refering to intercourse, the 'Old in out".
