    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.

    You are right on about Billy Ray Cyrus and his daughter, Miley! He is the most untalented country singer to come out of Nashville and he is riding her wave of popularity to get noticed again.

    Shame on NBC for pandering to him with the Nashville Star TV show...it is about as tasteless as Cyrus.

    do you really believe that MC is all the talented?
    no matter what you say BRC made it own his own before she come along. he has made several cds, and had the show. he is not riding on her coat tails, sh*t he brought the coat.

    wth? do you even realize how popular he was when he was making music? He was amazing and had a pretty sizable fan base. And in fact, the only reason he stopped making music was because he became a father. He was famous in his own right before Miley was even a twinkle, and probably one of the main reasons she was considered for the role of Hannah Montana was because of her famous father.

    I hated that song. I remember he played my senior trip at Six Flags over Texas along with the Cover Girls and Information Society (I mainly went to see InSoc). After they were finished, I didn't stick around to see Gerardo.

    Gerardo, is, was, and will always be the only rapper I like and definately the hottest I ever saw. "Rico Suave"
    means delicious and smooth and is about latino mucho men and the idea that people have of what latin men are like. It was meant to be humorous, not a serious song.
    It is truely a memorable song and I was in my car going home from work one night when I first heard it. I can't remember any other moment that I first heard a song, so you see it left a lasting impression. Great job Gerardo, you left something very significant behind in music and many of us DID enjoy it, so don't worry about it being the worst, cause it's just one lame guys opinion, that being the idiot who picked many of these top 20 HITS!!!!!!!

    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.
