CD ReviewsTotally un-"PC", rude to women and a great hit! ;) indie_in_kalli | Chico, CA! :) | 04/19/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "As a woman I obviously cannot speak for all women (after reading the reviews) however I think this is a great song, *especially* for dancing! Not everything that is not PC (politically correct) has to be bad - once you just let go and like it for what it is, you won't want to turn it off! True, if my daughter ever had a boyfriend playing this then I'd change my opinion, however for the time being she's only 3 so I have nothing to worry about. :) My husband laughs and tells me that if he had come home singing this I would have thrown a fit (grin) ... but since I found this song first I can say I think it's the coolest. LOL" A song that is hard not to listen to, when it is playing. Charles M. Moss | Millersville, MD United States | 11/20/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "I think that the video helped to propell the song. All of those pretty women-Monica, Jessica, Sarah, etc. etc. You will enjoy the cd once you receive it. You just gotta have it." Good song, but it is NOT A REMAKE OF PEREZ PRADO! E. Robertson Scott | Chicago | 04/27/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Despite the fact that I am a middle-of-the-road feminist (i.e., I think women are equal to men and should be allowed to do anything men can do except spit in public) I like this song a lot. It's fun, not meant to be taken seriously and as an expresssion of a young man's ambivalence about women (can't live with 'em and ya can't live without 'em) it serves its purpose. As a previous review wrote, this song should be played in sanitariums and it would help cure the depressed.
But the main reason I am writing is to disabuse anyone of the notion that this is a remake of Perez Prado's Mambo No. 5. Perez Prado wrote a lot of commercial music in the 40s and 50s, such as the blanded-down-for-American-tastes "Patricia." But he also wrote a lot of stuff that was avante-garde and musically superior. The Bega song contains samples of the 50's hit that are about 1 second long. And that, and a semi-Latin rhythm, is all it has in the common with the monster hit of Latin music in the 50s. So it's a fun song. Is it offensive? Maybe, but it's what he wrote, not national policy, so why care?" |
