Turn Around And Forget Me

Clip
This is one of many songs that framed my childhood. Its the lyrical equivalent of Gloria Gaynor's "I will survive" except these two are Argentinian siblings. The story is that she was dating Maradona- the fkn baller man- and he cheated on her. She wrote a song in which he begs for her back and she tells him what shit he is and look how he begs for someone that will never look at him, who boffs at his pathetic advances. She was real pissed babe. Her brother was there for her in a way i can't understand- he sang it. I guess that felt real awesome because she then wrote an entire album with titles of songs like " Im not your little idiot" and "you can take the sky I am the sun". They toured the world (I may have to start a blog dedicated to just posting them because its fucken unreal how good they are and I'm not trying to drag the blog to la rumbia). All of their performances are super dramatic and in my mom's then blue Mercedes it's 1988 when I am in the back seat not understanding why but belting this song out using my hands for extra emphasis while my mom praised and shook her maroon perm out scrunching her beautiful face I catch in the rear view feelin it, hard. look at them babe:
