Tune Wedgie of the Day: "El Rey Tiburon" By Mana

I don't know if I've mentioned it previously, but one of the classes I'm taking this semester is Spanish. My major requires two semesters of a language and since Spanish is supposed to be one of the easiest languages to learn and this will be my second attempt at learning Spanish, I figured what the hell, might as well.

So far things are going okay, but it's only the first semester, come second semester I'll probably be dying to be over with it. Languages just aren't my thing, I have a really hard time grasping the grammar concepts. It was hard enough learning them in English in grade school now I have to learn it in a different language?! What the eff man? What. The. Eff.

One of the cool things that my professor does differently from my other classes is at the beginning of every class she plays a some-what popular Spanish song. It's the same song for about three weeks, and at first it was kind of annoying because the first song was something lame and kind of boring by Nelly Furtado. No offense to any of her fans, I just didn't like the song.

The latest song she is playing I like much much better. It's called "El Rey Tiburon" by Mana, the name translates to "The Shark King." It has a really good beat to it and the lyrics are kind of funny in a weird sort of way. Not very often does a song make me want to dance, but every time I hear this song it makes me want to get up and do the cha-cha. Not that I CAN do the cha-cha. Well, not that I can dance at all really.

Anyway, here is the music video I found on YouTube for your listening and viewing pleasure. Even if you don't think the song will be your typical music style, it's definitely worth a listen at least once.

Tune Wedgie

What's a tune wedgie? According to Urban Dictionary, it is defined as a song or advertising jingle that gets annoyingly stuck in your head. The definition is kind of obvious once you think about it, but I love the term "Tune Wedgie", I find it very amusing.

While I may not use the term very often, I do constantly get tune wedgies in my head. Sometimes they can last for weeks, other times it only lasts for a day, but either way, they can get annoying. Especially the ones that last for more than a day or two.

My latest tune wedgie has been "I Wanna" by All-American Rejects. They have always been a favorite band of mine, but I never seem to bring myself to buying any of their albums, I don't know why, it's probably a procrastination thing. But whenever I do hear their music the song or songs pop into my brain periodically through out the rest of my day until I've moved onto the next tune I'm humming.

With "I Wanna" the song has remained persistently tune wedgied into my brain. I cannot for the life of me get it out, it just happens to be a very catchy song, and it's the catchy ones that are the toughest to get rid of. At least it's a song I like considering I've been humming for the past week or so. I finally broke down and bought the album a couple days ago in hopes that it will help remove the wedgie, so far no luck.
