Shakira/YMMV

• Everybody Remembers the Stripper – Her most famous lyric is surely the one about having "small and humble" breasts.
  • Shakira sings?
• Fanon Discontinuity - For some of her Latin American fans, ¿Dónde Están los Ladrones? was Shakira's last work.
  • Even some of her English-speaking fans prefer to think of her solely as an incredible Colombian artist, denying the existence of Laundry Service (citing the narmy lyrics resulting from bizarre forced-rhyme), and question the peroxide job in her foray into the English language market.
• Fetish Fuel - All over the place.
• Freud Was Right - The video for "She Wolf" features her going into her closet, to enter some sort of... pink, slightly-fleshy looking tunnel-like room, which she then dances around in. Subtle.
• Memetic Mutation - I never really knew that she could dance like this, She makes a man want to speak Spanish, Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa...
  • Shakira! Shakira!
  • Whenever, wherever...
    • Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, So you don't confuse them with mountains!
      • Le ro le le lo le, Le ro le le lo le!
  • Waka waka eh eh!
  • Shout-Out Near the end of her music video for Loca, she does the Caramelldansen
• Narm - "She-Wolf". While many critics gave high-scored reviews to the song, they still consider the howl goofy. And the lyrics are too weird for their own good.
  • • Narm Charm: Oh, come on. That howl was so goddamn cute.
  • Yes, but given the dubious nature of some of the lyrics in "Whenever, Wherever," it's hardly surprising that she's stuck to a theme. Seriously?

Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains

• • • "Ojos Asi" and "Eyes Like Yours." Cool songs, but the lyrics are just strange.
• Nightmare Fuel – Apparently her body movements & flexibility in the video for "She Wolf" is this for some people.
  • Those were almost as bad as those on the clip for "La Tortura", which not only feature the biggest Fan Disservice on her career (chest shouldn't move that way! Also, what with all those grease?), but also has a duet with Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz in his ugliest.
  • The flexibility is ANOTHER type of fuel
• Sampled Up - "Hips Don't Lie" from Jerry Rivera's "Amores como el nuestro". They're different genres and markets, so most people not knowing the original may be due to that.
  • Said song is actually a remake of a Wyclef Jean song called "Dance Like This", which sampled "Amores como el nuestro".
• Unfortunate Implications – “Gypsy” seems to be prejudiced against the titular group.

"I might steal your clothes and wear them is they fit me"

• • It's not a surprise that the spanish version of the song is free from those prejudices and just compares gipsies to free people.
• Unnecessary Makeover: A lot of people on both sides of the language barrier asked, "Was the blonde necessary?"
