And instead of that yellow VW Beetle, Joe Walsh would be doing one eighty-five in his Maserati.
All we need now is Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" as a bachata tune or a perico ripiao version of Procol Harum's "Conquistador"
If that ever happens, I'll renounce my Dominican citizenship, CARAJO!

That could lead us down another rabbit hole...popular songs here that are essentially covers of old rock songs. I'll start with Ruben Blades "Pedro Navaja", his adaptation of "Mack the Knife."
My turn:
Selena's "Fotos y recuerdos" is the Spanish version of Chrissie Hinde and The Preteders' "Back on the Chain Gang."
"Love Hurts" was sung in Spanish by Yndio.

Same. Pedro Navaja and El Cantante are two of my favorites by far. I've had more than a few beers listening to El Cantante and still remember the first time I heard it.
They're somewhat similar, but the lyrics in Pedro Nevaja are very different than Bobby's Darin's version and they're not just different due to translation. The "story" itself is different, also. Here's Perdro Navaja with the lyrics:
When Rubén Blades was asked if he was pressured into letting Héctor Lavoe record "El Cantante," he said he was skeptical at first, but then realized that Lavoe's situation at the time resembled or identified with the lyrics.
Others still maintain that Fania Records and Willie Colón pressured Blades.
For those not in the know, Ruben Blades wrote El Cantante, Hector Lavoe made it famous.
And it represented somewhat of a comeback for Lavoe.
I was Lavoe when Lavoe wasn't cool (with permission from Barbara Mandrell).
After his death and the subsequent documentaries, he became everyone's favorite Salsa singer.
