Especially the opening two mini-verses before the first chorus. So take a view minutes to watch the video again, and then click on through for an important discussion about young lovers running from mobsters in the dumbest and most inefficient way imaginable.īefore I dig into the video, I’d like to talk about the lyrics for a second. The video manages to tick off almost all of the other factors in its 4:30 run time (dumb beanie, smooching famous ladies, etc.), and is one of those ambitious, short-film style videos that we love to break down here. No song encapsulates all that as well as his 2001 single, “Hero.” Rising as high as #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, it was Iglesias’ biggest hit, and I am willing to lay a substantial amount of money on the following propositions: 1) You do not own the album this song is on 2) Whether you are aware of it or not, you know all the words to this song.
He has sold over 100 million records around the world, topped the Latin and American charts, won a Grammy, been romantically involved with Anna Kournikova for over a decade, cast a a parade of starlets in his music videos to play the role of “woman with Enrique Iglesias’ tongue in her mouth,” and released a number of songs that - no matter how hard you try to prevent them from doing so - will get tangled up inside your brain like a rodent in a glue trap, and leave you belting them out EARNESTLY in your car at a red light in full view of other motorists. And he seemed to do all of it while wearing an omnipresent stupid knit cap, regardless of the temperature outside. Born to legendary Spanish singer Julio Iglesias, Enrique Iglesias is a child of privilege whose success in the music industry seemed almost predetermined.
