Was anyone else hoping Michel Telo would come out and sing this in the Rio section of the closing ceremony last night? That'd have been amazing! :lol:

Sorry to bump up an old thread but I've only just heard this for the first time, which must sound astonishing for anyone all over Europe - I can't believe how huge this was in pretty much every country except the UK. Mostly #1, a few #2s - #7 in Slovakia - and in the UK it only reached #66?

 

What the hell happened for it to flop so hard over here? Did Psy steal all the "Foreign language song with silly dance routine" glory?

thank god

 

even Becky G can't get me in

It's like Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song", but even worse.

Can't really remember that well, but I do remember expecting it to chart higher than it did... I think it might have had a messy release, and also no major radio stations played it iirc. It's a well-known song (even in the UK), regardless of where it charted.

Genuinely one of my favourite songs from 2012, so gutted it didn't do anything here :'(

The Pitbull remix was everything.

This really should have smashed in the UK. Everyone I played it to (when hosting parties et al) were all well into it! With a genuine push, it could have been bigger.

Having my Brazilian phase so I recently listened to his albums. Still so good. Gotta love sertanejo.

This was and always will be cancer.

 

(I will always pretend to know Portuguese when I'm drunk tho (if I'm unlucky enough to be somewhere that would play something like this))

I liked this for a short period of time in late 2012 / early 2013 as a guilty pleasure.

This is still a total jam I won't even lie.
