Oh, yeah, okay, yeah, that's way too many. That's way too much stereotypes right off the gate. You would think that I would do something about it because I'm the one who's controlling everything, but yet here I stand and I will. Okay, there we go, let's cut it. But yes, I am Ryan Castle of the die-sick DJs. If this is your first time joining the show, welcome. We're checking back in.

Welcome back. And I have a special edition episode for y'all to celebrate May 5th, otherwise known as Cinco de Mayo. But I said that already. And what I want to do today is the top five Latin songs that white people enjoy. And that is because we are the DJs that like to spin it, mix it, throw it back, dissect it. Now I know what you might be thinking. That's not true. I don't know what anybody's thinking.

You'd be thinking about a sandwich you want later. I don't know. But a possible thought that you might be thinking is, Hey, Ryan, is that the best way to celebrate Mexico's most sacred holiday? And to that I say, it may in fact be the perfect way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Because make no mistake, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's most sacred holiday. It is America's favorite day to celebrate Mexico. But Mexico itself, they have their Independence Day, which is actually September 15th.

They have Dia de los Murtos, which is November 1st and 2nd. They have Dia de la Vergen de Guaralupa. That's December 12th. This is a holiday where Americans like to celebrate Mexico. And that's cool. I'm all for it, you know. Drink some tequila, have a fun Mexican theme party. I'm all with it.

It's a fun concept to celebrate. But given the fact that Cinco de Mayo is a celebration. of Americans celebrating Mexican heritage. What better way to honor the holiday than by running down the top five Latin songs that Americans love to party to? Now, I could have called this episode the top five Latin songs that Americans love.

But top five Latin songs that white people love is a little bit funnier to me. It's okay I can say that I'm white. I'm one of them. I can clown on our culture. But I'm not even sure necessarily it needs to be considered clowning because a lot of these songs are straight up jams.

Not necessarily the one I opened with, but that's because of what we, did to that so that was the macarena by los del rio and it was originally released in 1993 and i actually have a personal relationship with that song that's a little bit different than a lot of people because i first came across it in 1994 because that year my older brother actually went to mexico for a full month as an exchange student because we actually went to a spanish immersion elementary school in culver city where they taught us everything in spanish so yeah that's why I made sense to do a whole exchange program to Mexico.

And yeah, he lived in Mexico for a full month. And when him and all his classmates returned, we had a big old party. And all the people that had been to Mexico for the previous month were like, we got to play this song that everybody was jamming to. It's called the Macarena. They played it for everybody. They showed us the dance. And this is going to be a hard thing to imagine or conjure up.

But when you first heard the Macarena, that shit vibed. People were into it. There's a reason that that thing took up was a, fun experience. It was a short-lived experience that way outlasted its welcome that got whitewashed to agree that was exasperatingly irksome. But at that moment, watching my brother and all his friends and everybody that had been spending time there bring this song to our presence with its dance that was new and fresh at the time. It was a fun vibe. And it would take a couple years until it really hit America. And you might remember that era of 1996 if you were there. That shit was everywhere.

And what had been a cool song for Mexico that had that whole country buzzing quickly became the most annoying thing the music industry could provide us. And there's one reason for that. White people. That's right. My people wrecked that song, and I can prove it to you. Now you heard the intro that I brought in. That's the one that you're used to.

This is what the original version was, the one that they played for me back in 1994 when I was just a young book. And everybody was doing this fresh new dance called the Macarena. this is what it sound like when they played it. Has a little bit more Latin soul to it, right? All right. Then white people got a whole of it. They got these guys called the Bass Side Boys in to make a remix.

And that is the version that we all know today. Listen to what they did to this song. Yeah, pretty annoying. Yeah, pretty annoying. But what really brings the Americanization of this song home is the music video, which goes out of its way to feature these dancing girls representing every culture they can get in there. Except Mexican, oddly enough. I'm looking at it now, and I don't see a single Mexican girl in this video.

But it is full-blown Americana in blinding 90s neon colors. They do have the two OG guys from Los Del Rio in there. So at least they let them make an appearance, but let me tell you, they stick out like two sore thumbs that just got jammed by a swinging card dork. They really did everything they could to make this whole thing as appetizing as possible to the common American suburban folk. But that is why so many white people loved it. And it came with a dance, a dance that literally anybody could do. That thing made it all the way to the Democratic Convention for the 96 election.

That's how far that thing got. And let me just say, nothing will kill the song's cool factor quicker than watching a bunch of hokey Washington politicians and their supporters attempt a dance in unison. There's no song and dance that can withstand a death blow like that. All Mexico Street cred was officially deceased. But as mentioned, it just stuck around and would not go away. It became a top three most known entity of the year of 1996. So that is why it has to crack the top of this list.

It somewhat lives on an infamy, but doesn't change the fact that if you go to a Cinco to Mayo party, there's a decent chance it might get played. All right, hang on a second. While I'm actually recording this, Justin, actually just emailed me a remix of the macarena that I was not aware of, performed by Taiga. Why? Is this real? All right, I got to check this out.

Impromptu remix. Dallatheu'Alea to Curela, that your corpse to give you a legri of a good. Dallet to querepa, A, macarra. Hey, macarena. Hey, macarie and macarina. Put the chop on and talk, turn them to a sprinter.

She's on my dough. So let them give me one minute. One minute. Hey, Maca, Maca, aye, hey, Hey, Maca, my kitty and my goody and Macaena. Put the chop on and Maca. Let me go ahead and tell him give me one minute

My egg maca than an eye I'll go ahead and stop that I'm gonna file that into the category of things that never needed to happen and wouldn't have made sense if you told me they happened I should note that the music video is also a mask parody Yeah the 1994 Jim Carrey film

So Tagga was really in his bag in this one Just swinging 90s throwbacks like a damn hammer toss I'd say you should check it out yourself but you really don't need to. You could also just pretend that this didn't happen, and you'll be fine. But that is just the start. What I want to do today is incorporate some of our previous episodes

that are deep in our catalog, because I realize I'd say three of the most popular Latin songs for white folk we've already done episodes on. So what I like to do is work with a concept that is bringing back past episodes in sort of a dissect DJ remix fashion that can possibly gel together in a common updated theme. Because the Dysect DJs actually just turned six years old. Believe it or not, we started this podcast in April of 2020, born out of pandemic boredom. And six years later, we're over 170 episodes in and running strong. But because we've had so many episodes, there's a lot that are buried. A lot of our listeners may have never even heard before. So I'd like to be able to find some ways to create new concepts for episodes that could maybe incorporate some of our past episodes, at least a portion of them. And that's what I'm doing here today. And in the

third one of those we actually debated which was the most popular latin song of all time and we played several of them so you can consider that the fifth one and a few bonus ones out there because it's Cinco de Mayo and I love you me incanta Oste. All right. I'm done trying to speak Spanish on this Hermosa dia. Okay, that's actually the last time. So with that preamble out of the way, let's get to the next top four Latin songs love. by white people today we're throwing way back all the way to 1958

holy shit is that old not only is it that old but it was actually released on my fucking birthday not the actual birthday that was far before I was born but October 18th 19th 1958 how about that in case you want to find another reason to celebrate it

which some of you might Because you might not give a shit that it's my birthday. But yeah, this is La Bamba by, you know who does this? There's two different groups. We got Richie Valens. Yes. And Los Lobos. So Richie Valens, I assume, is the original.

Yeah. Los Lobos probably... It sounds very similar to each other. You're going to hear the two. Well, then fuck Los Lobos for basically doing the exact same song. They basically do the same song. And is that the version that a lot of people play nowadays? Let's see.

Does this sound like the last one we just did? Yeah, it sounds exactly the same. It does. right sounds like yeah i feel like these fools just repeated exactly and they probably did it but like decades later yeah i have no idea sounds like the same guys what i'm noticing is the same person same guys they're doing that pit bull thing that you always say oh they got this video of richie right and they got this video of them but this video looks way closer than 1958 yeah it's more modern yeah so there's no way this is it's got leu diamond phillips in it for some reason did they do a movie about la bamba or

something yeah they did okay that's what that is all right is the movie called la Bamba? Yes. It probably should be. That makes sense. All right. I never saw it, but. You never saw La Bamba, dude?

That's a Latin staple in our households. I didn't wake up in a Puerto Rico. Yeah, you messed up. Did I say wake up? Girl up, whatever. Oh, yeah, you get it. But yeah. I did do it.

So, classic song, high energy, a lot of fun, and it just gets going. But I honestly, all my life had no idea what the hell they're talking about. What is La Bamba? No capiata. The L'Apita. I'm guessing he's talking about a capi tan. about a captain. I think that means captain.

I'm guessing he's talking about bump. I don't even know what bomba. I can't even tell you what bomb by. Well, Justin. That's what we're here to do today. Because we're the die sick. Dicex. Dicex.

And we're going to do our second ever translation episode. What was our first one? What was our first one? We did Saigonum style. Way back in the day. That was like three years ago. I remember we were like, what did you just say? Yeah.

And it turned out a lot of that song was about coffee for some reason. Surprisingly. A lot more of that song is about coffee than you would have thought. That's what you discover when you do a translation episode. So I pulled up the lyrics here on both the regular and the translated version. So let's find out what the hell we're talking about with La Bamba. Barabala la la Bamba. Okay, that seems like he's talking about a dance of some kind.

And it means to dance the bamba. So obviously the bamba is a dance of some sort. I know the bamba. And then he says, you need a little grace for me, for you, come on and come on. I'll be for you, I'll be for you. The way that sounds in Spanish is, of course. Wait a minute, wait a minute.

He said something about money right there. He said, I don't have no money. Yeah, I don't have no money. He said, I'm no sailor. What? This is why I never was able to get double languages and shit. Because I heard I don't have no money But apparently is

That's exactly what I heard Is you not hear that shit? Yeah, I would have thought that too But instead is I'm not a sailor Like fuck you Spanish What a weird thing to shout My name is Hostino Antonio Garcia Okay, I should know Spanish

You should Whose fault is that But I don't He'll blame somebody else I'm blaming this shit I'm blaming Spanish itself You're blaming Richie Vales I'm blaming Spanish itself

For this bullshit You telling me. Anyways. Yeah, so apparently, I don't have any money. I don't have any money. No, marinero apparently is a sailor in Spanish. What?

You guys all know that you guys thought it was that. But then he follows it up with, I'm no sailor, I'm a captain. That's why he says soy capitan. Ah, see, I knew there was a captain of some sort in there. Let's hear that. So he's not a sailor, he's a captain. Yeah.

Now let's dance. This song's kind of repetitive as shit. Here comes the most epic. This is a breakdowner? Guitar breakdown. Oh, beautiful. Possibly in music history. I'm going to go ahead and call it out.

Bold claim. I'm calling it out. It's one of the greatest. Let's get it going. DJ. Hope you have a shot in your hand because it's time for tequila. And if you have a shot, it should probably be tequila. But it doesn't need to be.

It doesn't need to be. But for this song, I would just, suggested. It feels right. It just feels right if you do. DG. DG. We're doing a classic. Dessig. And let me look up the lyrics real quick for this song. Yeah, pull the lyrics up. We're going to eat that on this one. We want to make sure we brought in something that gets everybody drinking, everybody enjoying

life. And this is one of those songs that keeps us doing that. But I got to be honest with you, Casson, when I hear the words, tequila, I kind of want to throw up. Really? Yeah. Tequila is one of those drinks that I have overplayed in my life. and uh... yeah you get sick on the shit that's right yeah dude

so justin's got to a point like where he like knows exactly what alcohol is like make him sick and which ones work for him yeah and he keeps it very simple he's like

I like my tito's vodka that's it I don't even know what else maybe some beer at a time but other than that yeah I can't go too deep with it because I done mess myself up I'm gonna stand on the other side of it out there

because I'd love a good shot of tequila bro but it's got to be good tequila that's something I learned because I actually did go through a period where me and tequila were not friends. Where you did Jose Quiroz? Yeah, like when I first started drinking when I was like 20, 21. Fuck you, Jose.

I remember my first cocktail that I loved was tequila sunrise because I was at one of the Mswatt festivities in Reno and they had like a couple of drinks that was like, oh, we make these and these. And I just kept being like, oh, tequila sunrise is one of the cocktails. And I was getting a tequila sunrise every time. So I was like, oh, that's my favorite cocktail. So, you know, when you're young and you first start drinking, like, and you find a cocktail that you love like you just like stick with that so at that point i was like yeah i love

tequila but back then every time somebody would bring a tequila around it would be like that cheap ass shit and i had a few nights where it was just like oh my god i don't like what this alcohol does to me no more of that and i literally went through like a year and a half where i was like me and tequila we're like this you can't see i'm doing like the magnets don't attracting and it wasn't until i discovered patron and i was like oh that's what good tequila tastes like And then a good chilled, yeah, but a good chilled patron. A good chilled silver tequila I'm like, I'm always up for. With a nice lime chaser, like, yeah, I've always got time for that.

So, yeah. Every time I ever have any kind of drinking night where I'm drinking beer, any kind of alcohol, and I decide for some reason at the end of the night to be like, you know what, shot of tequila sounds right about now, it makes me sick for at least the next 48 hours. If I start with a shot of tequila, I'm okay. Just one, one or two, I can start with a shot of tequila before I start drinking. I'm okay.

If I try to end the night with a shot of tequila, it's a 100% guaranteed I'm not going to be up tomorrow. Tomorrow's a bad day for me. No, I've seen it. I've seen it in person. Don't do it to me. It's 100% and I'm out. Yeah, this is something that happens over friendship over years. He used to get frustrated with me.

Now you understand. Well, yeah, I just know what to avoid now. And when you were just suddenly knocked out of play for like the half a half a lot. a day. It'd be done. And I'm done. You're not bringing me out of it. And then you know what I will do?

I'm going to be like, I need a shot. And you know what shot I'm going to do? Tequila. That's 1958 track comes in hot, dude. Is that really what you hear it from? Ninety-eight. That's a genius. There's an element of genius from this track.

But let me ask you this. What is the first thing that this track reminds you of? I mean, when you hear it. Peeway. Pee-wee-Herman, right? Peeway, man. When Pee-Wee breaks it down with the double fist forward, double-fist back, double-fist forward when the-dancing on the bar.

When the bikers are about to beat his ass, and that's forever we remember. But beyond that, man, this is just a classic. Like, every time I hear it, I want to get down. I can't believe it's that old. What year did you say? 1958. Damn, that goes weird. I just love the fact that a song from all the way back then had the balls to, like,

just provide no audio in terms of lyric. and the only lyric is they're just going to just be like A single guy just kind of hid that Because usually when this song is played in public You don't even hear the voice Because everybody else in the room goes Tequila But it's a really deep low voice of

Tequila Tequila It's pretty fucking cool actually When you consider it being like somebody from 1958 That they've made this And I have the balls to fucking put that track together Tequila is in 1958 Mexican flavored rock and roll

instrumental written by Danny Flores and recorded by the champs Tequita became a never one hit on both the pop and R&B which charts at the time of its release and continues to be strongly referenced in pop culture to this day. Classic track. For being

instrumental for being only two minutes and 15 seconds long this song fucking slaps. But it does make me wonder what would this song be if it didn't get that Pee-B revert? Because I remember as a kid Like my whole life, this song has been tied to Peewee. I remember, like, Peeway's Big Adventure is one of those movies that, like, you know, me and you are like, we grew up the same time. We were both shown that movie at a young age.

And Pee was an awkward character. And he was. And to be honest, if I'm being honest with you. Please be honest. Peewee kind of ruined the song for me. Because, like, I remember even as a kid, like, maybe I was supposed to root for Peewee. But I did to a degree, but, like, I just remember watching him do this fucking stupid dance. Stupid dance. And I just remember being like, even as like a young kid, I was like,

yo, beat this guy's ass. Like, this is such a fucking whack-ass dance. And watching. Is this working for you guys? Like, I just remember watching him like in a biker bar. Yeah, the bikers were loving him. And he's doing this stupid dance. And I'm just like, why are you guys like so, like, why is this winning you over?

Like, this dance should not win you over. Like, this is a dumb. Then he drives off in one of the bikes and hits a, it's a big. bored. Yes, it's fucking hilarious. It's actually funny. I remember that being funny. But, like, I remember, like, thinking he starts, like, winning him over when he starts,

like, breaking all the glasses. And I'm just like, as a bar, okay, like, okay, bikers. Yeah, bartender, get that's cool up. Is it this your bar? You guys like to hang out here? Like, I'm just thinking of any bar that I know where there's, like, out of, like, No chance that would happen. No, if the dude started throwing the glasses, the bartender, be like, this guy, the

fuck out of here. And they would have fucked him up for sure. And no guy is allowed on the bar to dance. And he's not, and especially, like, maybe if he, like, crushed it and he was doing, like, but even then, dude, even then. But, no, but doing the dance he was doing, like, who the fuck is that winning over? Dressed in a bullshit gray tubs-ass suit? That was actually what mostly when I was a kid.

Like, I actually feel like I remember seeing this movie before I remember watching, like, Peewey's Playhouse as a kid. Like, I remember watching both. But I think I saw the movie first, and I just remember being like, I don't know what the deal with this guy is, but like this guy kind of sucks, right? Like he's got this stupid-ass dance. Like, fuck him up, guys.

Yeah, and then he went and jacked off in like a movie theater at a porn and then messed up everything. Fucked the pee-wee. It wasn't part of the movie, but... BetMGM is an official sports betting partner of the National Hockey League and has everything for the action on and off the ice.

I wish I actually knew this song without Pee Wee, to be honest. Because, like, it's a fucking dope song. It messed you up. Yeah, it messed me up, and the instrumental's fucking slaps. Justin, let me ask you a question. Have you ever done this song on karaoke? Yeah. Did you nail it?

I do a lot more theatrical, so I dance the whole time. Do you do the pee-wee dance? You got it. I know you do it. I know what a piece you do. And I do all the twist and all different stuff. And there was time. So you keep a little bit of it.

everybody entertained. Intertained. But I've also seen the opposite, where they do the whole thing that got a popular, where a guy just stands there and he just waits. Yeah, I've seen that. And he waits, and he goes, tequila. Yeah. Tequila.

And it's like, dude, you've got to realize that's been done. That's one of those jokes. Like, when you're at a wedding, dude, I've seen so many people do this wedding where somebody is giving a toast and they say, groom, put your hand on top of the bride's hand. Okay, that's the last time you'll have the upper hand in the relationship. Stop doing that fucking line. I've seen it a thousand fucking times already.

Please, people. Stop Googling your toasts. You know what I want you to do next time we DJ wedding. Stop. Stop! I know you won't do it because... I'll do that. I'll do that.

I know you won't do it because you obviously care about your DJ rating and you're a great wedding DJ. But I wish the next time somebody did that like, put your hand on top. As soon as they do that, I want you to just be like, oh, yeah. Oh, please. I just, every time I'm like, how do you not know that this has been done?

And you know what always confuses me when that happens? Is the reaction is always good? Is there like six or seven? Oh! Yep. I hate it. It's like, you know you've heard that. Don't act dumb.

That actually is worse than doing tequila for karaoke. I've seen karaoke where they have, you know, sometimes you go to a karaoke bar where there's like an hour and a half wait to get up there. Yeah. And I've been in those kind of ones where somebody goes up there and does this song. And I'm like, you seriously, people are like, can't wait to get on stage and be like, this is the song that I've been like, my friends are here. It's funny.

I've seen it on TV. And then you do this fucking thing. Yeah, I've seen that. It's one of those like stand up comedian things where it's like this is an easy joke. It's a joke that's been done. But like, as a somebody that's done stand up before, like, you don't do a stand-up joke that you've seen before. Even if one person in the crowd has seen that joke done, you're fucking done, dude.

You can't risk that. You can't risk somebody being like, dude. I saw Daniel Tosh do that same joke. Like, you know, like, you know, like, you don't got nothing else? Like, as a karaoke DJ now, I go, come on. Yeah, call them out. I do, I do. Come on.

We need Carrie DJs like you. If they do it, they tip me, I'm like, all right. You better tip me. If you didn't, I'm going to fucking call you out. All right, we got somebody doing it. a uh... Does anybody have a real fucking song? Yeah.

Oh, es moibier! Ha ha ha ha! Now, this song has a lot of background for me. Not only is it a Latin vibe, but it also is about a 30-year-old song that still hits to this day. There's very few songs that you can hit from 30 years ago to this day

and still be a banger. And ladies and gentlemen, I can tell you right now, swavemente, Elvis Cresppo, is a banger. Oh, it's timely. Timeless. Timeless. It's been lighting up salsa clubs. To this day, nightly cross the country and beyond.

Not just salsa clubs. Any clubs. I remember being 19 years old going to my first 18-year-older club, and this song would hit and the floor would pack. Because it is that much of a banger. That's true, but you know that they got salsa nights all around, and you think a single salsa night goes by where this song doesn't get played. It's got to be within, like, the top five rotation.

It's typically, I got to be honest. Most salsa actual salsa enthusiasts are going to hate on this song because it's like that song is always played like don't play something else. Talking about the salsa hipsters out there? Yeah, yeah. The real salsa people are going to be like, I don't like this. My dad, my family is like play it, but like we have others we can go to. Anyway, that's beyond the point. This song, for the most part, is the banger of banger of Latin music.

And I must say, I believe, probably the top Latin song, at least in the United States. Which brings us to our question of the day. Is this the most epic Latin song that's ever been? Now, as he just said, the deep cup salsa dancers, they'll tell you otherwise. They'll be like, no, we got a. They got this song that was from El Salvador in 1978. And they're like, no, no, it's more newer stuff. They want the newer stuff from 2024, like play that song.

They're more like keep up to beat. Depends you're talking about. I don't know. I'm just saying, you think your mom, would your mom be like, Oh, no. I want the new one? Absolutely not. But anybody that's salsa dancing on a weekly basis is going to want the new stuff that comes out. Is your mom a salsa enthusiast?

Because I feel like she would be. She's just a dancer. My family's more dancing. My family loves a song. Don't get me wrong. My dad's just kind of a little bit. It'll be like a prude. So my dad would be like, uh,

I'm tired of that song. I've seen him, I've seen him salsa dancer. My dad's kind of a hater, though. I wonder where I get it. Thanks, dad. I wonder where that. Yeah, exactly, right? It all makes sense.

And we're going to go deep in detail with it. Find out, did we have the actual English lyrics of this song? You want it to me to translate it? Yeah, is there any way of it? Can you look that up real quick? I've never actually translated. Yeah, yeah, do that for us. Let's find out what the actual lyrics.

Justin's become a big proponent of chat GPT. I asked that thing everything. Yeah, yeah. I have dissected the moon landing. I have found out where humans first were created all through chat GBT. Thank you. Where were humans first created? I don't remember.

I didn't say I remember this shit I just ask it and then I hope it gives me information And then I go in one ear And then for a second He's like oh that's crazy Oh cool And then I forget You get it, you get it

And with that said You mentioned that this is Elvis Crespo I did And according to the video It's a young Elvis Crespo This is Elvis Crespo when he was like 19 Or something like that I actually don't know

Could we look that up too How old was Elvis Crespo When he created this song I know I'm asking you a lot of stuff Like I'm Joe Rogan talking to his side guy Like hey, you get to answer this question for me But according to this, this can't be right It says it was created in 1998

I believe it Is that right? I feel like it would be like older than that No, no, that's about it. Really? Yeah, because then when I was in the clubs at 2000 And it was 2004 So it was only a 6 year old song

It seemed like it was old at the time But in all honesty, any song that's like Seven years old, it tends to get a little age Yeah, but if you had I guess it just sounds like a song That could have been around since like, I don't know The 80s, 70s or whatever It was a popular song apparently

Interesting But yeah I guess it could It could have been It's crazy that 1998 is like Also considered Great year for music An old classic song now Yeah not like 2025

Which we just In our last episode We went over the best of 2025 And it was a rough get through 1998 would not have had that problem We would have had a hard time cutting it down at the top 20. Get it together music.

We have faith in you. 2026. Let's do it. Let's just have a year full of bangers. Can we have it? Can we do that? It's been a minute since we had a year just where we're like, dude, how many bangers are going to get?

Bangor. It's been a while. And it's been a while. When I DJed this song, typically I use the beginning swavemente. However, I have multiple remixes of this song that I tend to get into if I really want to get it going. They bang as well. So let's listen to one of these as I go.

One, two, three, hit it. That is plenty when I want the club to hit hard. That's like, yeah, one of those deep... That's like 12 midnight, 12.30. They're loving it. They're into the pit bulls. The line music's going hard, and let's hit them with a bag. That's one of those clubs that, like, when the beat hits, they, like, go pshsh.

Yeah, all the air, the air from the roof. Yeah, yeah. It feels like that. Did you get the lyrics? I did, yeah, yeah, I found it. Let's go, let's go through them. Just kind of talk them like you would. Let me hear what they say.

All right. I'm not going to try to pretend to sing it right. No, no, just talk it. Yeah, let's talk it. Speak it like an AI voice generator. Okay. Smoothly. Kiss me.

I want to feel your lips kissing me again. Kiss me. Kiss me. Kiss me again. Little girl. Lay down. Oh, man. Oh.

I got to be honest. The lyrics in Spanish make it sound. Could this get bad? Let's move past that. Could this get bad? No, no, I don't want to talk about anything negative about the song. Let's not go into anything.

You asked me to translate. Yeah, I know, but I didn't realize. I'm reading with the lyrics. I didn't understand what the actual lyrics said, and we're going to move past it. Let's go into a nearer the remix that I got out of this. These remixes have hit. Okay, these remixes hit. Dude, I could see that one just flooring the crowd.

Oh, man. If they're feeling it, they'll be like, oh, all the hands will be in the year. I've seen it too many times. I like the variation of instruments. I'll say that. I was trying to mimic the instruments over here, but it kept having that one that I was like, I'm not even sure which instrument I'm supposed to play to that one,

but I like it. I know it's a good instrument. I know it's a good instrument. I want to learn to play it, but I won't because that's a lot of work, and I don't even know what hands I'm using. In many years it would take to actually play it correctly. Yeah, I got you.

I got you. So just enjoy the way they do it. This is one of those songs that my family, if you do not play this at one of my family parties, my auntie and my grandmother, God rest of Soho recently passed, will look at me and go, all these years of DJing,

you're not a good DJ. And then the moment I play it, they'll be like, oh, you're the best DJ ever. It's one of those songs that you must play at one of my family parties.

It's happened. Why is your grandma such a hater? Oh, my family's hated. She would say that to you. Oh, my family hates. You're like, you're not a good DJ. My family's very blunt. If they don't like what you're doing,

they'd be like, hey, come here. I'd be like, what's up? And they'd be like, That sounds nothing like the way you are. How long have you been DJing? They'll hit you with that first. How long have you been DJ?

20 years. You're not very good. I'll be like shit. Why? You didn't play Swavemente. I'm like, damn. Okay. And then I'll go back to the DJ booth.

Play Swamimente. And then they'll be like, I miho. You're so good. It's crazy. It's such a specific type of person that will literally tell like a DJ like you're not very good because you didn't play that one song

that I was waiting for you to play. It's my family. I had that one song in mine and you didn't play it. Therefore, you're not good at your profession. Yeah, that's my family. There's a congline. I'm going to bat for you. I'm going to say that you not playing.

That doesn't mean you're not a good DJ, but. I disagree. If I don't play that on my family parties, it was my fault for not reading the crowd and understanding that my family requires. Fair enough. Do you want me to read verse one in English? Yeah, yeah, hit that. Let's see.

I hope it gets better than what we had here. When you kiss me, I feel like I'm in the air. That's why when I see you. I start kissing you. Did you ask for that? Okay. And if you take off, I wake up from that rich dream that your kisses give me, smoothly, kiss me. I want to feel your lips.

Kissing me again. Give me a deep kiss that touches my soul. Give me one more kiss that fits in my mouth. Can we just be honest that... Spanish... Word sounds sexier in Spanish. Oh, so much better. Castle's, this would be a terrible song

and nobody would have listened to and would have been forgotten at this point if it was what Castle is describing in those words, man, it's terrible. This song is straight. Creeper in English. It's a creeper in English. If you're really going to get into it.

It does not play in English. Does not play in English. But in Spanish, I got another remix for you. Can we just give a shout out to the horn players in the back? They kill it. They're on point. We're talking difficulty of horn.

I don't think it's like at the top of the list, but it doesn't need to be because they're all in unison and it works. It plays. It plays. I also want to just say that. It's got to be a top three conga line song of all time. I can go with that. What's the song that we played recently?

You got conga. You got Konga by Miami Sound Machine. You got hot, hot. We already had that. By Point Dexter. Yeah. And then probably number three, I go swavement there. I'll give it to you.

I'll give you the top Konga song. Miami Sound Machine. That's in a month. I feel, in answering our question, is this the top Latin song ever created? And I'm going to go ahead and say, yes. What do you think? Allow me to rebuttal with a few. What do you got?

All right, here we go. And maybe my answer changes here. Go ahead. I submit option one for potential greatest Latin song of all time. Oh, a little Carla Santana. All right, all right. I'll give me it. I don't think it tops.

but I'll put it up there as like a top fiver. I'm just playing out options. I'm playing out options here. I like it though. There's a good one. Carlos Santana, Oye Comova. Definitely a jam.

What else you got? Also, that song became like a top five song used in trailers and 90s movies. I don't know if you noticed that. But there was like a run in the 90s where like any like kind of action movie, that was the song for the trailer.

Bamp, that's when you put the words on the screen. Like I think I'm thinking of a movie like there over here. Like get shorty. You remember that movie? Like I swear. Vagely, yes. I vaguely remember it too, but I feel like I do remember that for some reason was a song in the trailer.

All right. Possibly more controversial. But here's another one for you. Swahue. I'm not putting this anywhere in the list. I'm not putting, however. Told you a slightly controversial. I do have a story with this.

While karaoke DJing, About a decade ago, I had one of the singers come up and say, I was in the Rico Suave video. And she showed me. I played the video. And she actually showed me. She's in the actual video. I'm looking at it right now. It's mostly shots of Geraldo.

He's doing a lot of this with his shirtlessness. And he's got like a leather jacket. It's a classic song. Don't get me wrong. But it's not a top Latin song. And nobody even remembers it to be on a real. It lives in that like vanilla ice territory and like MC Hammer where there was like this early 90s era where cheese gets you play.

Like, be as cheesy as you can, and that is going to get, like, on repeat. What they didn't tell those artists was that, like, come the mid-90s, like, you're going to be gone and forgotten. And, like, nobody's going to ever want to. Like, they're only going to play you for parody at that point. Play it and get your couple years of fame with it

because it definitely worked. And they still do live on, I'll be honest. Do you have another one that you think is top in that? Uh-oh. This one I have more an affinity for. I don't know if it stands a test of time with your. type of music

Yeah, yeah I got you, I got you But go ahead Hit us with this song Hit us with it This song Tommy boy Tommy boy

I got to Tommy boy's the one that put me on to that one But then like Years later It was one of those songs we're like, okay, I obviously I'd never heard that song until Tommy Boy, and it's like an incredible moment that that's my favorite

part of that scene. And then it heads an immediate shift where they're like, everything went wrong and every sale you just made doesn't count and then I got to like fix that. But I remember having over like years later where I found it again and then I was starting to be like, that's actually a jam. It's actually a jam,

and it's somewhat worked its way into rotation. And I had this very specific memory when I woke up one morning and I was like hung over. I was like, the first thing I thought, out in the morning was just like, I want to listen to Edis too. And I literally, I came to your head. Yeah, it was the first, you ever have those moments where, like, you're still kind of drunk and you're in a haze?

Yeah, I just don't think I ever would have popped to that song. Yeah, but, like, sometimes you're just like, I just feel like listening to this song. And I literally, like, crawled my way out of bed and, like, went over to my computer. And I was just like, play Edis 2. And then I started playing. And I was like, all. You know what? This is going to be a good day.

I mean, that's all I got for this, man. I just wanted to give a shout out to Suaveamenti, one of the, if not. the top Latin song. I know you gave a couple different variations. Which Miami sound machine song did you call out earlier? Konga. Oh, that's the first one I was looking at.

Is that the one that's like, conga-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Well, then we should play it. That's the best. Because that was the other one I was looking at. That's the number one Konga line song. If you want to go with Konga line song, I got it. Come on shake your body, baby.

Do that Konga. I know you can control yourself any longer. Come on shake your body, baby. Do that Kong. I know you can control yourself any longer. I mean, sound machines. Saying, though. The top

That is the number one What year was that I'm looking at this music video I'm gonna say 84 It looks like the 80s But maybe 86 Am I wrong But I feel like the mid-90s

Had a hard glorious Stefan like Renaissance Like she started with them Yeah Miami Southern And then she went solo Yeah because I remember in the mid-90s Like she was a big deal Like I specifically remember I feel like at the Olympics

In like the closing ceremonies Like that was like when she was at her peak She was a big deal at that point And that was when I first learned Of Gloria Stefan Not even realizing the background with which she came from. But I respected it because at the time I was like, yeah, these songs are jams. Yeah, she's got about 10 jams in all honesty that are bangerous.

The Miami Sound Machine. She was probably like their main singer. And then she broke out as like a breakout star. Like she started to do it. Yeah, she went solo. She went solo basically. And she had a bunch of hits in the mid-90s. I remember that.

She had one, two, three. She had a rhythm. I think these are all Miami Sound Machine. Rhythm is going to get you. That's all Miami Sound Machine. Honestly, her solo year was not as pronounced as her Miami Sound Machine. Because all the songs that you're saying, like, I remember. They're all my Sammy.

That's Miami Sound Machine. So they had already existed. She just kind of did a really good job of marketing herself as a solo artist. Yes, but mainly she had the group pretty much until she got a car accident and she almost got crippled. Yeah, yeah, that's what changed her whole career. I saw the whole play. I went, anyway. We're getting deep on New, Rang, the Anglordia.

What else you expect? I don't remember what the original song was. I feel like it's just like. Oh, you forgot? You forgot them. Oh, that's it. And with that, everybody, let's party it out to finish the episode.

Let's get it. 2026. Yes. Vesaned 26. Yes. It's very good!
