Dance — or I'll Shoot
Calle 13 and Vicentico don't want fries with that
Funny thing is, the song "El Combo Imbècil con Papitos y Refresco" (The Idiot Combo with Fries and a Drink) came about as part of a reality TV show called Fusion A2 (dear reader, I'm sorry I can't send you directly to the video on this flash site, but click around and you'll find it) produced by Sony Entertainment and sponsored by — get ready — Coca-Cola. Here's a sample lyric (my translation):
Thanks to us hanging Saddam HusseinThere's going to be more McDonald's and more Burger Kings in the worldOuch! According to insiders, the show's producers were a little nervous when they got wind of the song, but corporate overlords Sony and Coke finally went with the wise adage that no news is no news: Why censor the song and make a story out of it. It's only being broadcast in Latin America anyway. So there's no need to worry about, say, Lou Dobbs picking it up. Plus, it's a pretty catchy tune.
You're going to hear a lot more Britney Spears
The girl who fucks the most
You'll be able to eat onion rings and fries
and smack down a Viet Namese for no reason.
