Marimar ¡Ow! Thalia has revealed that she was inspired to make her latest album, “Lunada,” by a desire to escape to the beach while pregnant. You know, to drown her sorrows and unborn child in UV rays and rivers of Dos XX:

“This disc came along when I was very pregnant with my daughter,” Thalia told The Associated Press Tuesday before the party began. “I was almost eight months along. I had had it, and the only thing I could think about were bikinis, suntan lotion, beer and the beach.

“So I began to think to myself, ‘Hey! What was that song I liked last summer in Argentina? ‘Sangre Caliente’ (“Hot blood”)! And when I went with my friends to (the Mexican beach resort of) Ixtapa, which one was it? That’s right! The one by Juan Gabriel!’ … That’s how ‘Lunada’ was born.”

Precious. We’re fairly certain we’re not going to rush out and buy Thalia’s album. Especially since her finest work is already immortalized on YouTube:

¡Ow!
