In a teasing bout, known as Tal-Qamel (The Fleas) with a balding Kalora, Mifsud sang:
Jien rasi bix-xagħar mimlija
Il-qamel fiha kemm jirgħu
Int f'rasek m'għandek l-ebda xagħra
U l-qamel tgħallmu jiskejzjaw.
Il-qamel tiegħi kemm hu dħuli
jara in-nies aktar jidritta
u tiegħek min-nies qed jibża
qiegħed fl-irdoss taħt il-beritta.
Għandi moħħi mimli bl-għana
risposti kemm trid nagħtik
u xagħri mimlija bil-qamel
jien lilek minn kollox ngħaddik.
Jien għidtlek biex provi tagħtini
mhux bħal għedewwa, bħala ħbieb
'ma jekk injurant tgħajjar lili
veru tkun l-akbar giddieb.
There are several keen għana followers who declare that Mifsud was their favourite folksinger of all. He passed away in 2001.
