Top 20 Worst Songs Ever: No. 14

'Rico Suave'
--Gerardo (1991)

... Yes, he has a very high opinion of himself. Too bad we don't. Gerardo is now an exec at Interscope Records and is responsible for bringing Enrique Iglesias to the U.S. But in his former life, he brought us some of the worst rapping in history along with one unforgettably lame chorus.

This was a very memorable song that coined a catch phrase "Rico Suave", and could be considered the highest of compliments if anyone thought you were hot enough to be called that. It means delicious & smooth and let's face it, most guys these days are NOT. Gerardo I think it's time for a come back. I didn't care a thing about rap until you showed up on the music scene and actually made it interesting and fun. It pays to be unique, people sit up and take notice and you know ALL the ladies noticed you. Very caliente (hot) and
we could use some of that today. With all the people today using drugs and sleeping with anybody and coming up with UGLY muts, looks have truely deminished. It's like the beautiful people are suddenly a dying breed. I know this has nothing to do with music, but I gotta say I still get excited over you today. So thanks for a fun song and lasting memories. You made your mark and it's all good baby... Lots of love for ya,

P.S. the concert of yours in downtown Cleveland back in the day was a rush, very unforgettable as well!!!

Left out were the TWO worst songs I've ever had the misfortune to hear. "That's what friends are for"...and "I want to buy the world a coke"..... Other sappy songs like this can be included on this list.

What? Who? This is a stupid song by a 'GOOD LOOKING DUMMY', I saw the video and I still can't find a reason to like this song. This is a bad song and I would not own it for all the tea in China!!!
