Question for Mexicans.
<div>I'm just curious about something...</div><div><br></div><div>My mom likes to watch Mexican soap operas, but many times, I have heard this phrase "chiquitibum a la bim bom ba, chiquitibum a la bim bom ba..." I don't really know how to call that in English (could someone tell me?). In Spanish, that's called&nbsp; "porra" if I'm not wrong.</div><div><br></div><div>But my question is: Is it very common to hear that in your country? Does it really happen as the soap operas?</div>

<p>In Mexico City for example after singing "Las mañanitas = Happy birthday" usually we say this cheer.&nbsp;</p><p>It goes something like "chiquitibum a la bim bom ba, chiquitibum a la bim bom ba a la bio a la bau a la bim bom ba Arturo, Arturo, ra ra ra ra"<br></p>

Mexican here.&nbsp; I've never heard that.&nbsp; I'm intrigued lol. &nbsp; <br>

I am not Mexican, but I put your quote in Google and got this:&nbsp; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siquitibum&nbsp; Apparently it is a Mexican cheer.
