Nice. First time I've heard these guys.

Good instrumental track - weak vocals

Fun.

Sounds like a candidate for the soundtrack to the next Shrek movie.

I love Ball, which came out in '03, and I like their new one also, although not as much. They are still doing what they do best.

This is absolutely terrible. I hope they're kidding.

Hmm. It's disconcerting his poor Spanish pronunciation--but maybe that's deliberate. I like the rhythm, and I also like some of what I can understand him saying in Spanish (I had to look up the lyrics though to really follow). My Spanish is far from perfect...but this song both intrigues and vaguely repels me. Hmm. Ray-cuer-do-to-pause-do. Remember it all. Hmm. The pause is in the wrong place, but again...maybe that's the point. So yeah. Not lots of comments on this song.... I could use a "scratches head" emoticon right about here....

So, yeah, "longtime listner" first-time post-er.

I offer my general props to Bill and Rebecca because I loves the RadioParadise.

Anything Spanish is good for me! Margarita, por favor! Nice flow ...

Any WP is good for me!
