Fanny Lu, “Celos”
The Spanish-language song I’m finding it most difficult to get out of my head at the moment.
There’s a faux-naive winsomeness to this track that can grate — if you don’t like Altered Images or early Cyndi Lauper, for heaven’s sake stay away — but it’s a hell of an earworm, even if you don’t know the language. (The refrain “tengo celos” literally means “I have jealousy” and would be better translated as “I’m jealous.” Work out the rest yourself; it’s simple enough that Babelfish can hack it.)
Next up: when did Duke Ellington start being a major influence on Latin pop?
