First Ever, YouTube "What the Fuck" review - Delfin - Twin Towers.
I honestly don't know where to start with this one... Wow... My buddy Vinnie the Deutch send me the link to this video and I sat and I've watched the damn thing three or four times now and I don't really know what to say about it.
I suppose the first place to start is the sound of the music. For a tragic song that is supposed to be sad, it sure is pretty cheerful sounding. I feel like I should be in a conga line or doing the maccaraina to this thing instead of bowing my head in remembrance.
In fact, the music so so out of place and cheerful, it's kind of surreal when they show pictures of the World Trade Center burning and people crying and stuff. It's... Wow. It defies words.
I particularly am amused at the beginning where Delfin is just sitting on the couch chilling, not paying attention to the TV and suddenly he gets upset and shouts "Noooooooooo!" That's priceless.
I am also particularly amused by the chroma-key shots there where they have him waving his hands in sadness (?) I suppose at the destruction of the twin towers. On the other hand, he looks like a bad Mexican market merchant trying to tell you something. "Hey, yoquiro, I sells you dis here burning towers for 20 billion peso. Best burning towers in de city. I give you deal."
I know I'm going to Mexican hell for making that blatantly stereotypical joke, but I'm just telling it as I see it.
The plot to the song (Because on top of cashing in on a tragic event, you have to have a story behind it too) is about a guy who "decided" to just up and visit his lover in New York. I think there's a flaw in your relationship when you live in South America, and the love of your life has left you for New York City.
Oh, and she just happens to work in the World Trade Center, and when you go and visit her the terrorist attacks happens, and just as the tower is about to fall she calls you and says "Good bye my lover"
And there's the "Ay ayyyy ayyyy!" and "Help me's" shouted by the singer, some tributes to fallen firemen.. And let's not forget constant use of stock footage.
Wow.
I don't really think I have anything bad to say about this music video, all I can really say is that South American's have an interesting way of mourning.
And I'd like to remind any American's reading this post, if you do not dance to this song, the terrorists win.
