its not what it means to me... its what it literally means... the story of yo la tengo is the story of how the guys came up with the name. its derived from baseball when two mets outfielders collided with each other, a white guy and a hispanic guy. The hispanic guy would call out YO LA TENGO, while the white guy called out I HAVE IT... neither knew what the other was saying. The white guy approachted the spanish guy, realized they were saying the same thing... so the next game they played the white guy called out YO LA TENGO, the hispanic guy backed away, however the white guy collided with a 250 pound frank thomas... where thomas asked the white guy what the hell is a yellow tango.... thus the story of yo la tengo.
