Perhaps you're already familiar with this highly questionable classic. This song was number 1 on several charts around the world:

Not nearly as sexy as you, but that's ok....it doesn't hurt...

This song was always intended to be a parody of its time (with its over-the-top consumerism and self-promotion), and it succeeded on that front; it does less well if you make the mistake of taking it seriously. As a dance tune it does what it needs to (it's got a good beat and bass line, and you can dance to it). It's certainly an earworm; the lift of the guitar solo line from Hendrix is a nice nod to the more serious background of the brothers who formed the core of the group. Nothing essential here, but a good touchpoint for the era.

The best thing about the music video is the shirtless brothers flexing (?)

This is the perfect example of a videoclip that in my country almost everyone will take literally and misunderstand, yes. For me, the most hilarious part is all those photographers in bikini.

You know what, @Manko-sensei? I've never paid much attention to the girls in bikinis taking photos. But now that you mention it, it's hilarious, too!

Why would people in Spain take this video seriously? lol! Would they point out problematic aspects of it? 🤔
