Isn't this just one of the greatest videos ever?

^ :mello: She's not doing or wearing anything sexy there. The video is totally genius. It makes sense if you understand Spanish.
 
Eh. I never cared much for Shakira. Her lyrics aren't too great and, from what I have seen, most people only humour her because she's sexy and a good dancer. You could say the same about Britney Spears, I reckon...

In any case, it is a nice video. It is definitely nowhere close to being "one of the greatest videos ever", to quote OP, but it is a nice video nonetheless.

I really don't think that is fair to say. Don't look at She Wolf and Hips Don't Lie because more often than not, the best songs are not released as singles. Here is the translation of the song I posted and she wrote this when she was 17.

You belonged to an old race
of bare feet and white dreams.
You came from dust, you are dust
And you think that
heat always softens iron.

You bit the apple
and renounced paradise
and condemned a serpent
just because you were the one that wanted it that way.

For thousands of years
You remained naked
And you faced dinosaurs
under a roof and without a shield.

And now you’re here
wanting to be happy
when your destiny
wasn’t even worth a cucumber to you.

You belonged to an old race
of bare feet and white dreams.
You came from dust, you are dust
And you think that
heat always softens iron.

You constructed an exact world
finished so perfectly.
Each thing is calculated,
in its space and at its time.
And because I am complete chaos
compared with the entrances, the exits,
the names and the measures,
They can’t fit me in their brains

And now you’re here
wanting to be happy
when your destiny
wasn’t even worth a cucumber to you.

You belonged to an old race
of bare feet and white dreams.
You came from dust, you are dust
And you think that
heat always softens--

You belonged to an old race
of bare feet and white dreams.
You came from dust, you are dust
And you think that
heat always softens iron.

Greeting our neighbors, waking up on time,
working every day to live in the life.
And answering only this and feeling only that
and may God protect us from bad thoughts.

Doing chores, going to school.
But what would your family say if you are a failure?
Always put on shoes, don’t make noise at the table
Put on panty hose and wear a tie at parties

Women always get married
before the age of thirty if they will not become nuns
even if that is not what they want.
And at the fifteenth birthday celebration
It’s best not to forget a good champagne
and dance the waltz well
and dance the waltz well
