The biggest hit at the moment in Panama (and probably the rest of Latin America and Spain) is "Asereje" by a new Spanish all girl group "Las Ketchup".
I like to think I'm open minded with music (hmm... Actually I guess I'm not), but this song has to be the most annoying thing since the Macarena craze of the mid 90's. It comes complete with non sensical lyrics and entire clubs doing the dance that goes with it, when it comes on.
The worst thing is, no matter how much I dislike it after hearing it I cant get it out of my mind.
I have irrational fears about flicking over HTV the big Latin Music Channel in case it happens to be playing.
I guess I'll just have to live with it and give in.
(Still listening to Alejandro Sanz - Unplugged, IMHO the best artist out of Spain)

Tal vez no entendiste mi ironia ingles?? He renunciado todas mis problemas con Aserejé y la bailá todo el noche este sabado.
La verdad es que soy tu fan mas grande.
MMM No te creo. Ademas, si te gusta o no la cancion no nos importa. La cancion la creamos para la gente que disfruta de la vida. A la que se sabe divertir.
Posted by: Las Katchup on August 19, 2002 04:44 PMDo the new US import restrictions cover this kind of thing? Or can we expect drunken old geezers dancing to Las Ketchup at office parties in the near future?

Tanks a mill.
Vivo en Brazil y un grupo local (ROUGE) lanzó Asereje en portugues, y salio bien, pero la musica en español es mas agradable, por lo menos para mi. Es muy buena para bailar y divertirse.
Posted by: Marcelo on October 8, 2002 04:02 AMGood work girls .. it's beautiful song just go on and no one could stop u if u wanna the best ..
Posted by: ebograph on October 9, 2002 06:02 AMMaybe is not the best song in the world now, before and after but this is a kind of music that make you feel happy, so just live it.
And enjoy listening some words in spanish or spanglish.
Asereje.
Posted by: jose mari lopez on October 13, 2002 10:14 PMYour song has non-musical sense. It's just a snappy and catchy tune that just made it big. how? you say that is your hard work and give us all that shit, but is that unfortunately music has lost its essence and its now STUPID. just like your music. But I do support the topic of "just having fun" but that song may be "to have fun" but is NOT music. Fuck you bitches
Posted by: Joao on October 14, 2002 04:14 PMHow do we do the fucking dance?
I wanna know... damn them chicks are hot
Me divierto muchisimo con Asereje, aunque en mi oaís (Rep. Dominicana), empiezan a hacer comentarios de que es satanica, etc.,etc. pero yo no lo creo, no veo que tenga nada de malo, sino que al contrario, la considero antistress.
Por cierto, Dónde puedo conseguir las letras????

Posted by: TIFFANY on October 30, 2002 08:34 AMhmmm...their voices ANNOY me to no end. The only reason I ever heard the song in the first place is because my music loving Spanish teacher made us learn that whole song backwards and forwards (with the dace,just for kicks). The song never gets out of my head. :-/

It's just a snappy and catchy tune that just made it big. how? you say that is your hard work and give us all that shit, but is that unfortunately music has lost its essence and its now STUPID. just like your music.

Posted by: denver on January 15, 2003 10:40 PMjust shut the fuck up! asereje means devil!!!
here in ther Philippines text messages is disminated all over about the meaning of asereje, messages said that the meaning of it is DEVIL. but for me i dont think so, aereje made it to the top here in the phil. so what's wrong about it maybe the are just so pathetic about its meaning in spanish.....
Don't mind them Las Ketchup, your song is a hit then be it. good luck and more power....God Bless the three of you, you are so beautiful
i dont think that asereje doesnt mea anything and that you just made it up...
noone will say its bad if it isn't right?

Posted by: sudama rawat on February 7, 2003 11:05 AMAsereje is really a nice song,but i found out thatit is devil song.If you sing it,that means you call the satans come.it said that a guy name diego,heis the devil.Fuck you all,asereje is an idiot song.We should not listens to it.If still don't believe ,find it in the internet.It spred very cleary.
Posted by: apple on February 8, 2003 12:34 AMthe chorus part of asereje means(stop praising god,stop being yourself,and live your being to DIEGO(satan).If still don't believe go to this website Remember,the brujeria words appears in asereje lyrics.If you all go in this website,first in shows a goat,the goat is
anti-christ.then down of the goat show enter.click the enter and inside it shows.......... you all will be shock if see this photos.
Interesting...
Personally, I liked the song, but there's so much CONTROVERSY here over who likes/doesn't like it--can't we all just live and let live?! Some people like it... some don't... is it really worth so much cussing and so on? About the devil thing... *Apple*- you didn't include a URL for the site proving the song's heresy!
Interesante...
Me gustò la canciòn, pero está demasiado CONTROVERSIA sobre quien gusta/no gusta la canciòn--¡¿no podemos vivir y permitir todos a vivir?! Algunos gente le gusta, algunos no le gusta... verdad necesitamos pelear sobre lo? (Lo siento si mi grammer es malo... estoy un estudiante estadounidense--mi clase de español escucharon la canciòn para un actividad.)
