Baile Chiki Chiki

I must share with you this phenomenon that has yet to cease in Spain: El Chiki Chiki.

This is sort of a joke, but sort of not... it is hard to tell if it is one of those things that is so stupid everyone is amused or if it really is for real. Eurovision is this talent contest of sorts where all the European countries enter a representative and people vote on the best one, kind of a big deal, and this was the Spanish representative: Rodolfo Chikicuatre. He is sort of making fun of reggaeton music, but it is still a bit strange just how popular he has become here.

Here is the video: Chiki Chiki

There are a few references to Spanish politics in here so it is probably more amusing if you are familiar with what has been going on here (like when the king of Spain recently said to Hugo Chavez "Why don't you SHUT UP?!"), but here is my rough translation anyway:

¡Perrea, Perrea!

The Chiki Chiki is very cool
They dance it in China
and also in Alcorcon

Give that brunette Chiki Chiki
The Chiki Chiki drives her crazy
Rajoy dances it
Hugo Chavez dances it
Zapatero dances it
(my love, as you know)
"The brothers" dance it
my brother dances it
My mulata dances it
with her panties in her hand

--Chorus--
The Chiki Chiki is danced like this:
One: The Breakdance
Two: The Cross Step
Three: The Michael Jackson
Four: The Robocop

Dance Chiki Chiki
Dance chiki chiki
The Heavys dance it
and also the freaks
The dance it in jail
they dance it in school
my mother dances it
and my grandmother too!

"Tiger-puma" sings it
with his striped suit
and Juan Carlos says to him
'why don't you shut up?'

At the wake of father Damian
they put on Chiki Chiki
and the dead man started to dance
dance, dance

(Chorus repeats)




So yeah... there you go. Enjoy!
