It's called irony, as an educated Mexicana. I love the stripes I get it and it's fun and cool.
more stripes less lazyton
can you play electronica, fusion, rock (both languages) you'd get more people watching ( i think?)

Love this! its brilliant for them to so a spanish song. Shows they are open to diversity, more people should be. One of the best bands around, and for good reason, they rock the most!

Latina, please.
They certainly aren't making fun of Mexicans -- perhaps the sport of bullfighting, if anything. And that sure as hell isnt a sacred cow.
I think it's pretty obvious they dig the mariachi.

IM WITH AUDDY ON THIS
THIE VIDEO IS KINDA NOT MY STYLE BUT ITS NOT MAKING FUN OF MEXICANS
IF YOU STOP TO LOOK AT IT MORE CLOSELY YOU WILL SEE THAT THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO REACH A NEW AUDIENCE BY USING SINGING IN SPANISH
AND REALLY LET ME EXPLAIN SOMTHING TO YOU...OK FIRST OF ALL BULL FIGHTING COMES FROM SPAIN...AND SO DOES FLAMENCO...AND THE ONLY THING THAT COMES FROM MEXICO IS THE MARIACHI...I WAS NOT OFFENDED BY THIS VIDEO (AND IM MEXICAN JUST SO YOU KNOW) HALF OF MY FAMILY ORIGINALLY COMES FROM SPAIN AND THE OTHER HALF IS OF AZTEC DESCENT SO YEAH...
IM NOT INTO THE WHOLE ROCK EN ESPAÑOL THING...IM MORE OF A DURANGUENSE, CUMBIA, REGIONAL MEXICANO & REGGAETON PERSON BUT THE SONG IS GOOD AND THE VIDEO IS ACTUALLY QUITE FUNNY
I LIKED THE IRONIC ENDING...IT WAS REALLY GOOD
