Loco Pretérito - Preterite Conjugation Song ("Shut up and Dance")

Rather than making a bunch of different songs on how to conjugate each different preterite family in Spanish, here's one that covers almost all of them! It's to the melody of "Shut up and Dance".

--LETRA--

É, -ASTE, -Ó, -AMOS, -ASTEIS, and then -ARON.
That’s just the way it goes with that LOCO PRETÉRITO!
-Í, -ISTE, -IÓ, -IMOS, -ISTEIS, -IERON ¡Ay no! LOCO PRETÉRITO

First let’s start with -CAR, -GAR, -ZAR where only the YO form becomes bizarre.
-CAR goes C to Q, -GAR gains a U, and then -ZAR goes Z to C, only when it’s me.

FUI, FUISTE, FUE, FUIMOS, FUISTEIS, and FUERON, those are for IR and SER.

É, -ASTE, -Ó, -AMOS, -ASTEIS, and then -ARON.
That’s just the way it goes with that LOCO PRETÉRITO!
-Í, -ISTE, -IÓ, -IMOS, -ISTEIS, -IERON ¡Ay no! LOCO PRETÉRITO

For –IR verbs that use the shoe, you’ve gotta switch up the bottom two.
E becomes an I, O goes to U, but this can’t affect the YO or TÚ, that is what we do.

Both DAR and VER take normal -ER endings, no accents anywhere.

É, -ASTE, -Ó, -AMOS, -ASTEIS, and then -ARON.
That’s just the way it goes with that LOCO PRETÉRITO!
-Í, -ISTE, -IÓ, -IMOS, -ISTEIS, -IERON ¡Ay no! LOCO PRETÉRITO

Let me break down how to conjugar when it’s vowel -ER or -IR.
With all of them, change I to Y in él and ellos, bottom side.
If -UIR is how it ends, the top four follow normal trends.
For all the rest, on the four up high, put an accent on the I. Hey!

With this next group, the verbs have wacky setups.
You take the stem, then add the end there:
-E, -ISTE, -O, -IMOS, -ISTEIS, and -IERON, but -ERON with a J
ANDAR: ANDUVE, ESTAR: ESTUVE, TENER is TUVE. DECIR, DIJE, that’s with a J
PODER is PUDE, PONER is PUSE, SABER is SUPE, TRAER, TRAJE, another J
HACER is HICE, QUERER is QUISE, VENIR is VINE, CABER: CUPE

É, -ASTE, -Ó, -AMOS, -ASTEIS, and then -ARON.
That’s just the way it goes with that LOCO PRETÉRITO!
-Í, -ISTE, -IÓ, -IMOS, -ISTEIS, -IERON ¡Ay no! LOCO PRETÉRITO
