You have to wonder: does John McCain actually know what Daddy Yankee is singing?
McCain started talkin’ to Daddy Yankee about an endorsement in early August, according to FauxFox News (and since it’s Faux Fox News, ya know it’s true!), and brought out Daddy Yankee for the endorsement just the other day, in Phoenix.
Now, why anyone of color would want anything to do with the republiCon party is beyond me, but even more incredible is why anyone in the republiCon party – the “Party Of Family Values” would want Daddy Yankee’s endorsement is far beyond that.
Now, it’s not that I have any problem with what Daddy Yankee sings nor with the message Daddy Yankee sends. I got no problemo at all. I actually think it’s funny that McCain is takin’ this endorsement – after all, regular readers know the ol’ TwoPutter regulary points out hypocrisy in the GreedOverPrinciples party.
But, hey – it’s Daddy Yankee that’s gotta be laughin’ the hardest on this one! Here’s what Daddy Yankee said, about his song, at Bushy McSame’s campaign event:
- The sound bite of the day came when the star (Daddy Yankee) was asked what his song “Gasolina” was about. Without hesitation he said, “Energy independence.”(Christian Science Monitor)
“energy independence”??!? ROFLMAO!!! I’ll bet Bushy bit on THAT one! Then again, Bushy McSame thought that the “Miss Buffalo Chip” contest he was gonna stick his wife in, was “a beauty pageant.”
republiCons believe the darndest things.
Here’s Daddy Yankee’s video – the lyrics follow.
shake it mambo so that my cat can turn on the engine,
shake it mambo so that my cat can turn on the engine,
shake it mambo so that my cat can turn on the engine,
Get ready, because whats coming is to give it to her, (hard!
Mamita, I know that you aren’t going to take away (hard!)
What I like is that you let yourself get taken away (hard!)
every weekend she goes out to have fun (hard!)
my cat doesn’t stop hanging out because
She likes gasoline (give me more gasoline!)
How she loves gasoline (give me more gasoline!) 2x
The turns on the turbine
she doesn’t discriminate
She doesn’t even miss a fancy dress dinner
She gets dressed up even to go to the corner store
She wears things so well that even shadow favors her
assasin, she dominates me
she hangs out in cars, motorcycles, and limousines,
she fills her tank with adrenaline,
when she listen to reggaeton in the kitchen
She likes gasoline (give me more gasoline!)
How she loves gasoline (give me more gasoline!) 2x
(me!) Here I’m one of the best
Don’t leave me
On the track they call us “the killers”
You make anyone fall in love
when you dance to the rhythm of the drums
this goes out to cats of all colors
for the older ones, for the younger ones,
for those who are more foxy (foxy = player) that the hunters
for the women who never turn off their engines
You and I have something coming
you owe me something and you know it
with me, she loses herself,
she doesn’t surrender explanations to anyone 2x
shake it mambo so that my cat can turn on the engine,
shake it mambo so that my cat can turn on the engine,
shake it mambo so that my cat can turn on the engine,
Get ready, because whats coming is to give it to her, (hard!
Mamita, I know that you aren’t going to take away (hard!)
What I like is that you let yourself get taken away (hard!)
every weekend she goes out to have fun (hard!)
my cat doesn’t stop hanging out because
She likes gasoline (give me more gasoline!)
how she loves gasoline (give me more gasoline!) 2x
