ESRB: Sing about urine and unprotected sex in SingStar Latino

Hey guys! I think it's not fair to condemn the songs just for their lyrics, I'm Colombian and I've heard "Los Toreros Muertos" for a while eventhough that band disappeared like, on 1990, the idea is that the song is a musical gag, actually all their albums were like that (and they were VERY funny, let me tell you) and it's not like to say that you don't have that kind of humour, it's just to think about the d*ck in a box you have on SNL... be fair, the song is bloody hilarious, (not something to dedicate to someone else anyway) I promise that, if you want I'll translate the lyrics for you.

I was going to be outraged at the ESRB for being more anal about a game simply due to its "Latino" label and foreign language content, but the rating summaries for other SingStar games are just as nitpicky.

I guess it's power to the parents who actually bother to look this stuff up and make an informed decision about whether content is appropriate for their particular kid or not. Too bad I have never heard of ANY parents actually looking this kind of stuff up online and doing research about video games before blindly allowing or banning stuff for their kids.

release date? full track list?

About that pee song? Joystiq, you forgot the best part!!!

"As the song plays in the background [...] a teacher pours a yellow fluid into several cups and serves them to his students, who drink heartily."

That, my friends, was ripped off of the ESRB site.

Imagine singing in English about pee while watching kids happily drink pee (lemonade?).

Actually, "mi aguita amarilla" , my yello water... is pretty funny, talks about the water cycle, but starting from a night after a 40 beers...passing down toilet...and something that people generally forget, swere lines passing down familes, friends, working places... , home, sometimes going directly to rivers, and where somepoeple actually take water to use on fields, etc going to the sea where is playing with fish you eat later, ...is pretty damn funny...:-) Dont think the retard things like 'papi chulo"..this is one is incredibly creative...:-)

This is hardly unique to latino music...

*cough* Bloodhound Gang *cough cough*

Now that's my kind of game!

i don't get the point of this article... they trying to censor it? or you just wanted to point out those 2 lines and how when taken out of context, it sounds like the lyrics came from any other mainstream song on the radio?

There's going to be a long list of cautions when the Hip-hop Singstar game is released

Singstar never cease to amuse me with their strange tracklists, this time won't be different. (I mean, I'd play Fake Plastic Trees anyday on rock band, but WHY IT IS ON SINGSTAR???)

"Latino" is a very misused word.

Wow I didn't know Latinos were secret Japanese!
/sarcasm

hey IM SPANISH. im not a mexican, im not cuban, puertorican or any other. i am NOT a latino! the word latino implies latin american origin. i have nothing to do with latin america, im not from there, dont live there. im pretty tired and annoyed at the fact that people think Spain is pretty much the same as latin america. Chenoa is from Spain. and a lot of the comments made here show very little respect or even knowledge reguarding the difference between being spanish from spain, and speaking spanish in latin america. for example, while some latin americans may have darker skin, here in spain we are not the same. we are as white as americans. im not syaing theres anything wrong with being of a different race, but people should know the difference between a spanish person and a latino. its like if you thoguth that people in africa were all rappers and wore gold chains and shit. just because we speak spanish dosnt even mean we use the same words or phrases. according to the ESRB, this game features latin american recording artists. but half the track list is from singers from Spain. yes these artists might also be heard in latin america and even go for concerts and stuff like that, but that dosnt mean they are latin american, and their music is even less latin american. the way the game is talked about, even the box art, portrays a stereotypicall image of the latin american culture, which is very different to the spanish culture. and even then, people still think that spain is all about bullfighting and other things i wont even mention. i repeat, im spanish but im not latino. im not mexican, we dont eat tacos and burritos here in spain, we dont have mexican sombreros here. and our music, is very very different to latin american music!

your dominican so your from latin america, therefore you are latino. so i dont get what your saying

I wonder if they'll have Dave Chappelle's parody in it.
"I want to pee on you, drip drip drip"

They should build a wall to keep this kind of game out of here.

this also pisses me off, cant believe how xenophobic some people are

yea, i can search in wikipedia too, thanx.
Latino: is a person of hispanic DESCENT but also latin american. im not hispanic im spanish, even if technically its correct that im hispanic, its not the same as the way they use the term nowadays as a sinonim for latino. anyway, thats not the ponit, its not called singstar hispanic, its singstar latino, and latino refers to american hispanics/ latin americans.

sure, insult me and the spanish, very nice.

para mi pendejo no significa nada. no sabias que en españa no existe esa palabra?

'Mi agüita amarilla...Mo ja las ca lles...Y la empie zo a mear." [My little yellow water...It wets the streets...And I start to pee.]'

Hey! You got it all wrong! the "la" before the verb "empiezo" indicates a femenine adjective. The correct translation would be "And I start to pee her(or it, if refering to the streets. "

That doesn't make it better...

Ha ha ha, with so many beautiful and meaningful Latino songs, why do they have to pick this crappy ones, it only shows they know nothing about our music!

si buscas la definicion de latino en un diccionario español, no es lo mismo que la definicion de los americanos. la palabra latino, viene de "latinoamericano" y es alguien que habla una lengua hispana y que vive o ha nacido en america.

I would buy the english singstar if it had Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo.

why does the opening line have to be unprotected sex and urine just becuase its spanish latino whatever ya perfer to call it its rediculous that were getting insulted as if every spanish artist speaks and sings about that well let me inform you they do not this is bull and were still living in a racist world where everything has to be white. We have a black president now ladies and gents get with the program you ither like it or dont
