The Song of the Summer


initially, i was going to write about a summer playlist. there was going to be numerous songs.

"fancy," by iggy azalea was coming on strong, as was "problem," by ariana grande. but 2 nights ago, i was looking through buzzfeed and came across an article titled, "17 jams you need for your playlist." i clicked through the links in the article and found some songs that i liked.

then...

i came to the last one. the introduction simply said, "17. the 'j.lo and ricky martin are ageless icons' summer jam".

i clicked on the song, watched for a little bit and well... not to get all dramatic, but it was a game-changer.

the game is over. song of the summer is called "adrenalina," by a dude named wisin, featuring j. lo and ricky martin.

check out the video:


i mean... damn, son. that song is HOT.

this is another video of the song, labeled as the "spanglish version."


one question: ricky martin is gay, right? or am i misremembering this? i only ask b/c the way he's interacting in the video with j. lo, i guess i'm supposed to believe they're attracted to one another in a physical manner. but if he's gay, is ricky martin ACTING in the video? if he is, i find it funny that he's acting in a mv that has no story. if he's not gay, i guess this whole paragraph is moot.

ultimately, it matters not even a little bit. since late thursday night, i've listened to this song 100+ times. i don't think this is gonna stop anytime soon, if i may honest.

don't let the fact that the song is in spanish trip you up. feel the song with your soul, you racist. =)
