An Honorary Spanish Diva, I am

Have u guys ever heard this?


Most of you guys know the song in some form. Cathy Dennis did a "cover" of it in 1990 which became a massive hit. I say it like that because Cathy kept the chorus but did entirely new verses so I'm not sure if it constitutes as a cover but more so an "interpretation". So this little ditty from 1984 was soon forgotten to replace it with Cathy's version. I knew the song, and I'm sure sexbox will too, from the horror film "A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge". There was a scene where Jesse, the main character, is dancing while cleaning his room and he pops in this cassette. Come to think of it...WHAT A FAG! Hehehe. But I remember when Cathy's version came out..I kept telling my sister..."hey that's the song from the Freddy Kruegger movie!".

But now that I'm discussing Freddy Kruegger and homosexuality. I read a long time ago that this particular film is highly regarded as a "gay cult classic". Apparently the theme and some of the homoerotic scenes have garnered it praise from that community. The storyline was thought to be a thinly veiled "coming out story". Jesse is fighting with himself..and can't help what he has inside and its making him do things he wishes he wouldn't. The homosexual feelings take the form of Freddy Kruegger, a maniac who kills people. Maybe that's what people feel homosexuality is, a killer? a disease? And that's why they made this film..lol!

Anyway, back on topic...here's the song if you need it. Enjoy! I personally prefer this original version. It sounds much more High-Energy and it has that groove that any person can dance to it. But I still listen to Cathy's version.
