“No Controles” is an extremely versatile Spanish-language pop song. It was written by Nacho Cano of the band Mecano (follow the link for one of their awesome videos) for Spanish new wave group Olé Olé (below, left).
After that song took off in Spain, Mexican pop girl-group Flans covered it and created the truly mind-blowing video to our right to accompany the single.
More recently, the truly rad Mexican alternative group Café Tacuba released a rock and roll cover version. The video is boring, but I’ve included it (below, right) simply so that you can listen that titillating reworking of this amazing tune.

The lead singer of Flans looks like an even more irritating Paula Abdul!
Also, this song is seriously amazing.

mecano videos (and songs) are the best! I hadnt seen this one though…
And also Cholita, which was a band with Alice Bag and Vaginal Davis did a cover of the song. I didn’t realize it was a cover when I first heard their version of the song.
