Fun with YouTube: Ricky Martin, “La Vida Loca”

So this song came on my (beloved) Sirius radio yesterday, and I got really really excited. I forgot how much this song rocks. Remember when this song was, like, the biggest thing ever back in the late ’90s? I was a freshman in college when it was released, and I remember someone wrote all the lyrics, in huge chalk letters, across the walls of my dorm. I worked at Blockbuster that summer, and this song (and the corresponding video) was a part of the 60-minute teaser video that runs in the store over and over again. I eventually hated this song with all my heart. I associated it with all that was evil in the world. But I’ve had some distance from it now, and I was able to fall in love with it again this weekend.

Unfortunately, Sony has the music video on lockdown. I spent like half an hour scouring YouTube for a version of it that was embeddable, with no success. So here’s a version of it layered over clips of Will & Elizabeth from Pirates of the Caribbean. If you want to watch the actual music video, click here.
