Or does my sense of humour just keep getting better?

It's the switch to Englishish for the chorus that does it for me. By the way, was there a narrative in that video or was it, as they say, totally random?

Only just caught up wth this. It is on the awful side of funny, really not good at all. Saw them once when on holiday in Tenerife about ten years ago. Not a concert, we were walking through Puerto Cruz and saw them in some tropical gardens making a performance video. Reminds me of going to a local Spanish restaurant in Morecambe. They had "Spanish guitarist tonight" signed outside. Well he was spanish and did have a guitar but the first number he did had a chorus "Leh me tay you by duh han an lead you troo de strees of..." Nearly swallowed my fork. However I am at the moment trying to learn something in italian and imagine italian speakers will find my pronunciations hilarious.

Hahaha - it was the bikini-clad backflip at 2:11 that did it for me, followed by a shot of dozens of people who appear to be running away from a shark attack!! Glenn Frey is probably groaning in his grave while Don Henley is suffering another Tequila sunrise after trying to drown his sorrows!!

I love the Gipsy Kings. Always upbeat, fun, summer-window-down-driving-in-the-car music. The only problem is, everything they do sounds like them, even unsuitable stuff like this. littlemart yes, I agree that backward up-flip was truly impressive Ah well, at least we'll always have....
