#this is… spectacular
Oh yeah, speaking of Twisted Sister, that’s a band I’m a pretty big fan of, they were pretty big in Chile during the heyday of rock music, and We’re Not Gonna Take It in particular is beloved in here.
And, what happens with beloved music in foreign languages in Chile is that we make up our own lyrics, often ridiculous, with Spanish words, so long as it fits right.
