Gerardo - "Rico Suave"

Early -90s rap took on an entirely different tone than that of today.  Let's see: there was a white guy named Robert Van Winkle who we all knew as Vanilla Ice.  "Yo Vanilla, kick it one time, boooooyeee!"  Then, there was the Ecuadorian rapper who went by the name Gerardo.  His "Rico Suave" described the struggles of dating all while teaching us a little Spanish.  It's probably the only rap song I know whose lyrics are in both English and Spanish.
