Havana

Sammy is looking cute there in East Atlanta! :-)

Has anyone heard this song?

I love it!

There's an awesome REMIX out there. It's probably the ORIGINAL though.

The rapper is Daddy Yankee and it's so much more authentic... much more romantic than the Young Thug radio mix.

In this remix, Camila sings an early verse in Spanish (the male part is all Spanish) and it just works much better.

If you ever come across it, I am interested in your opinion of the D.Y. remix... :-)

Oh, I love Daddy Yankee! I'll go check out the one with him later today :)

Cool, I hope you'll report back...

Ok, I looked it up and it is AWESOME!
Waaay better than the other version

Mm Hmm. You see? You SEE?

So much more authentic than the radio version. The guy is a PIG in that one. And has a weak voice. So they drowned him out in the mix. His rap is nasty - totally out of line with the woman singing. And she is obviously in love.

Yank has the spirit and class lacking in Thug's re-mess.

I suspect they swapped Yank out (probably the original) to increase audience share... big mistake.

Anyway - glad you liked it!

Ok I actually though Young Thug was pretty okay, but yeah, Daddy Yankee is still better lol

Thug made it famous - I listen to him everyday. Just a different flavor...

Did you see his lyrics? They're OK but maybe in a song where the gal isn't so in love with him.

Yank actually loves her in the song. I like that in a duet!

Good to have both, I guess... but when I heard Yank it was an instant upgrade to an already favorite song. A nice surprise. :-)

Have never heard of it or this woman!

NEVERMIND! I YouTubed it. I cannot listen to that. I have a hearing problem and those sounds in the song stab me in the brain.

She's all over the radio. Better keep it turned to Metal stations... if it's easier on you.

Sorry about your hearing - is it tinnitus? Is that what causes the headaches?

I have hyperacusis. In a nutshell, sound hurts me. The sound of my own voice is like a knife in my brain. I have permanent nerve damage. This came for the Bell's Palsy I had several years ago which paralyzed half of my face. It also paralyzed the muscles responsible for the acoustic reflex on the Bell's Palsy side. The other ear became sympathetic so I have this crazy sensitivity in both ears. I cannot do playgrounds, loud music, restaurants, movies, people slamming freezer doors on the frozen aisle, etc... among other things. Certain pitches are also painful no matter the volume, and often certain sound effects in music falls into this.

The offending sounds cause things like (but not limited to) a rolling sound/sensation behind my ear drum, the feeling that a string is being pulled through my brain, a vibrating,jarring feeling through the inside of my head, a tapping sound/feeling on my ear drums, a crackling sound in my ears, a buzzing in my head and ears, dizziness, confusion, the inability to think. There is no cure. I just have to cope.

It doesn't cause me headaches. My headaches usually come from stress or lady hormones. Thankfully I do not have tinnitus. That would drive me insane!

I will add, the paralysis was temporary, however I did not make a full recovery. I still have a touch of weakness in the right half of my face and get some weird movements and charlie horses in my face and neck.

I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. I was going to joke with you about it until about the second sentence.

I hope the memes reduce stress occasionally. They seem to help me relax when I need a break from that lousy, stinkin', offline world.

Best wishes for any relief possible.

I am a joker. I laugh about everything. Even when my face was paralyzed I made jokes about looking like quasimodo! I do my best not to allow the hearing glitch turn me into a whiner. If you made a joke about it I would probably just laugh and return something equally hilarious! If we take this kind of crap too seriously it will make us old and bitter!

And on a lighter note, thanks to not being able to close my right eye for 6 months, I know first hand that it is totally possible to sneeze with the eyes one, and have them remain firmly in their sockets! I almost made a meme about sleeping with one eye open on a Metallica thread, but I couldn't find a good way to pull it off!

open, not one!

OK here goes,then...

I was gonna say you probably have a lot in common with your husband. ;-p

*runs for cover*

All in fun. Hope you got a smile out of it - at least.

Catch you later, sis. :-)

HA! That's so funny because we have had that same exchange around here!

Ran out of thread. Here's a trick you taught me...

>> HA! That's so funny because we have had that same exchange around here!
Same here. It's always good when a couple can make fun of each other.

Especially the wife! ;-p

We definitely do that! I think it makes people who don't understand our sense of humor uncomfortable though!

OMG, she's almost as hot as that song.

21 years old... and a golden throat!

love her

Who wouldn't? OMG... ohh na na!

*drools*

Upvoted your last 14 memes :)

Thank you sir. Thank you kindly.

You're very generous with that left-click button.

It's nice just to have you around for a visit. The clicks are just a nice BONUS. :-)

Looking forward to more of your memes. Where do you find the time?

I don't know about the time anymore lol, been doing 1 meme a week lately!

Thank you :)

Yep, love this song.

I love her voice. And that Groove... there must be a name for that Groove!
