Friday Flatchback: Es La Hora De XUXA!!!!

Hey kids, it’s end of day Friday and you know what that means: Es la hora! Es la hora! for Friday’s flatchback! This week’s flatchback features Brazilian entertainment phenom and record holder for the all-time best selling album in the history of Brazil— Xuxa. In the above video from 1990, Xuxa performs the hit theme song “Ilarié” from the Spanish-language version of her show, “El Show De Xuxa.” The performance was recorded during some award show on the Spanish Telecinco network. Just watch those uptight Europeans get down! As feminists, we should probably hate everything the Pelé-screwing, cover model turned children’s TV star stands for with her skimpy, bouncy, blondy-ness. But we just can’t. No one can. She hypnotizes you with her Aryan magic. So magical, in fact, we couldn’t stop with just one video. Or two. After the jump, check out a rare video of an Erasure appearance on the Brazilian “Xou da Xuxa.” And! After that, blonde, Amazonian Xuxa and her Xuxettes jump around with their palms to their mouths, imitating Indians while shell shocked, half naked indigenos stand around speechless. Todo el mundo esta feliz!

Wow this is a real fashback for me. Oh to go back to that more innocent times when children’s television shows were anchored by former strippers in skimpy clothing! And you know there were dozens of copycat xuxas in pretty much every single LAtin American country after that. Yuk.

There are rumors that those indians committed suicide after that show.

But you know, you have to admire Latin America’s honesty. That song is called “Mocking Indians.” They call their shit straight up what it is. Not like we gringos who hide ethnic mocking behind deceptive titles like “Lost in Translation” or “Flavor of Love.”

Erasure is singing “love to hate you” on a kids show!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A song about jilted homosexual lovers on a kids show!!!!!!!!!!!! This is GENIUS!!!!!!
“Ohhh I love to hate you.. Ohhh I love to hate you…..” Right on!
