I love love LOVE folk songs because of their WIDE thematic range. There's literally a song for every situation - your boss won't pay you what you've earned? Sure bud here's approximately a 100 songs about that alone. The mine collapsed? Got you covered. You're a sailor but can't come back home? Here are the 20 top jam hits for that. You solve a love problem by crossdressing? Ah yes, take your pick. You're serenading a lovely cow? There you go, old chap!!!! It's so DIVERSE and you can always discover new songs and topics. DON'T even get me started on protest songs. I LOVE FOLK MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!

When Miles gets mad, he speaks Spanish. And I'm talking bout that, "Rio is mad about to beat somebody ass" type of Spanish. That's how any spider-person knows they've pissed him off.
And it scares a good amount of them too because he's acting like somebody Mama snapping his fingers when they aren't paying attention to what he is saying, pacing back and fourth, shaking his head, mumbling stuff ect.
But you know Miles, he is switching back and forth from Spanish and English. Which makes them like 10times more scary. Because to them it's like "I understand you man and I'm sorry," then it's "I lost you- what did you say!? What am I supposed to do!? Oh my gosh!!" And he ends ever angry rant with either, "Don't do that shit again" or "do you understand me" (like I said - like somebody's mama)
And Hobie? Hobie is the biggest instigator, so if he so happens to hear, walk by, be in the room whatever- he will back up Miles all the way. Because he thinks Miles looks cute when he gets mad. Yea, he's scarying the crap out of whoever he's screaming at, but to Hobie, it's cute. The way his face is scrunched up and the way he's probably cussing the person out. Hobie doesn't understand him but he backs him up all the way even if Miles is wrong.
Bonus:
Miguel agrees with everything Miles is saying when he's mad because he found out that Miles got a B in Spanish, so he is shocked when Miles comes into his office one day going on a full rant (in Spanish) about some of the spider-people who where being openingly racist. Miguel is so shocked that he doesn't say anything, making Miles walk out of the room to sit them straight himself.
And ever since then, Miguel just agrees every time he hears Miles say, "Right, Tio!?" And he records and sends it to Rio.(I believe that Miguel, MJ and Rio have become Mom Friends you can't change my mind-)

It's that time of the year again:
The Elfin Knight
Lyrics
There stands three trumpeters on yon hill
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw,
And they blaw their trumpets sae loud and shrill
And the wind it blaws aye my plaid awa’.
Gin I’d his trumpet in my kist
And was in the lad’s airms that I like best
Gin ye would be wed wi’ me
There’s ae thing ye maun dae for me
Ye maun mak’ me a linen sark
Withoot a stitch o’ needlewark
Ye maun wash it in yon dry well
Where water never sprang nor fell
Ye maun dry’t on yon hawthorn
That hasna seen blossom since man was born
And gin I mak a sark for thee
There’s something you maun dae for me
My faither has an acre o’ land
Ye maun ploo it wi’ your ae hand
Ye maun sow it wantin’ corn
And roll it wi’ a sheep’s shank bone
Ye maun shear it wi’ a scythe o’ leather
And bind it wi’ a peacock’s feather
Ye maun stook it in the sea
And bring the wheat sheaf dry tae me
And gin you wark noo all this wark
Come to me and you’ll get your sark
