Oh my god…….
HAHAHA
i love when the beat kicks in.
canada loves you too perez
why does everyone feel the need to cover this song??? Jesus… it was a good song for about a week… get over it.
Um, uh, the obvious question, WTF…
Where's the Goddamn umbrella?
There is a party here in Argentina on Fridays called the fiesta PLOP… every week the promoters make a crazy video like this. It is the biggest twink-fest I have ever seen and the videos are hilarious. Check out the one they did for Beauty and the Beast Week.
I like it!! Good rythym. Brazilians have a really cute version of the Numa Numa song.
It's lost in translation on you Perez, which is odd as you *claim* to speak Spanish. Faker.
this sucks, I'm from Argentina and here we have a lot of very good music. Bands like Catupecu Machu, Flor, Valeria Gastaldi, Fabiana Cantilo, Miranda, etc are awesome!. but I don't think that this "thing" represent us.
OK, IM FROM ARGENTINA AND I WANT TO EXPLAIN A FEW THINGS
THIS GUY IS FROM PARAGUAY
paragua means umbrella in spanish
but the name of the song its actually for another reason
paraguay as u know is a country, and we argentinians call people from paraguay, paragua, instead of the correct way in spanish which is paraguayo
when u say paragua, its actually really bad
so the song goes "i crossed the border, blablbla, when i go to a party ur friends call me paragua and i hate it, im illegal, blablba"
so the song its hilarious if u can understand the real meaning
JOTO JOTO JOTO JOTO JOTO JOTO JOTO
LOL !!!!!!!!! THATS AWESOME !!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HILARIOUS !
What the fuck's up with the constant shaking?? That' shit made me nauseous… or no, was it the video itself, or wait… it was the song….no, no… the nausea was brought on by COCO!!!!
my epilepsy hurts
he is actutally not argentinean, but he is from Paraguay
…
yeah people IT´S A JOKE!! Perhaps you won´t understand because the song it about how Paraguayan people are named in our country (umbrella= paragua/ Paguayo=paragua)
IT IS A JOKE…
VIVA ARGENTINAAAA CARAJOOO
PEREZ WHAT THE FUCK ?\
I USUALLY AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENTS BUT THIS WASNT AN ATTEMPT AT A MUSIC CARREer, it just seems like a regional parody. youre not supposed to bash a parody based on its musical quality. Dont be acting like youre a hard core latino if youre gonna bash a latin "inside joke" you dont even understand.
gosh, at least JESSICA ALBA doesnt PRETEND to be RAZA
that sound really really… bad…….. awwwww

Re: FJG –
FYI - venezuelanos are considered to be latinos, pendejo.
Why are people so obsessed with saying "1st!" when they leave a comment? It's so strange. Get a life losers, do you not have anyrrhing better to do?
Dear Perez, i´m paula, writing from argentina. and i wanna explain you a little something.
PLOP is the name of a huge gay-friendly party that goes on every friday night here in buenos aires. the thing about this parties is that every week there´s a different theme, so people go in their costumes. example: plop 80s, plop alice in wonderland, plop in jail, etc etc…
and…
it seems the guys at plop chose as a theme "Paraguay"…and there´s a thing about our argot. we call "paraguas" to those who are from Paraguay, our neighbour country. and, for those who don´t know paragua in spanish means umbrella. and that´s it. ri ri has nothing to do, except from the melody that was taken from her song, and the lingustic twist that was made as a joke for all the plopers.
oh! and they are not serious about it. that´s the idea.
I actually kind of like it! Except for the bridge… that was pretty bad.
(I didn't watch the video, only listened to the song)
Wow. I almost had a seizure watching this. I wanted to vomit. This song came from PLOP music. Plop, as in the sound CRAP makes in the toilet, which is where this should go back to.
Actually, "paraguas" is a name given to people from Paraguay with a negative connotation here in Argentina.
The song is about a guy from Paraguay who comes to Argentina and says he is no "paraguas" (umbrella), and he doesn't like been called that way.
Just a little parody using Rihannas song, with a latin beat.
NOT AS BAD AS WATCHING PEREZ'S VIDEO BLOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
es en joda, boludazo.
This is freakin hilarious, and yes it's a joke, it's about a Paraguayan living in Argentina.. LOVE IT!!!! Very HAWT!!!!
I LIKED IT. ITS cool and not ment to be taking seriously
You know Spanish, you should know that the lyrics says the guy comes from PARAGUAY.
Of course the song is a joke.
of course it's a joke
I think he's from Paraguay, not Argentina. He can't be serious
ESTA HIJO DE PUTA ME HACE QUEDAR MAL COMO ARGENTINA!!
AJJAJAJA POR DIOS NO TODOS SOMOS ASI DE IDIOTAS!!
OMG THIS FUCK*NG ASSHOLE IS MEKING MY LOOK LIKE SHIT! I'M FROM ARGENTINA AND, I CAN SAY THAT NOT EVERYONE IN HERE ARE LIKE HIM!!

U JUST DID NOT GET IT!!!!!!! HE IS MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE FROM
PARAGUAY!!! IT'S A JOKE AND VEY FUNNY BY THE WAY,,SINCE U KNOW SPANISH,,,SHAME ON@@@@!!!
Typical south american wetback trash.
That mexican beat is badass, but this guy has a seriously crappy voice. Muy shity
OMgosh I'm so dizzy after watching 30 seconds, take the headache away!!!
Paragua is the derogatory for any ilegal immigrant from Paraguay in Argentina.I though the lyrics were priceless.Dont you all wish yo could understand espanol now?
paragua = umbrella in spanish… paragua-yo is for people born in Paraguay that is why he says "no me digan paragua" or " dont call me paragua"
wow perez. just because ur an idiot, and u dont understand the song, it doesnt mean u can critizise it.
Argentina is so amazing, and u just made it look lkike shit. ( u made it look retardeed, almost as much as ur face)
hope u get a life soon
xoxo
daniel raddclif fan , you sucks mother fucker , lets go Argentina
fraaan.ss , mada faka' its a song hey!
Paciencia gente !!
Si no sos argentino no lo entendes. Perez todo bien, pero para la proxima averigua sobre los modismos. Somos un pais que practicamente habla con modismos todo el tiempo.
If you're not from Argentina you may not undestand this video !!
I DNT THNK ITS THT BADD!!! — hahaha, cheap, but hey-

hahahahahahaha.
saLudos ParaGuayoS
Perez, tontito!
This is a video from a party called Fiesta Plop!
This is a joke, of course!
Cocó is one of the members of Plop´s staff. They are actors.

XOXO
I…actually…like…it.
i love that the lyrics is totally different
this dude is not the best singer though.
LOL
But actually he's not Argentinean, he's from Paraguay.
Ilegal inmigrants from Paraguay are for Argentina like mexicans for the USA. And some people make fun of them with the nickname "Paraguas" (also the literal translation of "Umbrella" in Spanish).
So this guy used Rhianna's music to make some kind of funny manifiesto against the attitude.. but I agree it sucks!
Just dont say he's Argentinean
Buenos Aires ♥ PEREZ!!
SEIZERRRRRSSSSs
You're got to be joking Perez - he's so F I E R C E! don't be jealous!
haahahahaha
Supid stuff.. i kinda like it xD orginal and ridculous
vivan los latinos cabrnes
Long Live PEREZ and us LATINOS
Great moves!!! Fabulous outfit!!! Creative camera work!!!
pretty funny!…paraguas is a slang for paraguayans in argentina

cuz my head's spinning & i think i'm gonna barf…
pretty funny!…paraguas is a slang for paraguayans in argentina reasearch ur info kids!!
its dominiquo from A shot at Love with Tila Tequila!!!
um. i kind of like it. (shame)
it's pretty rude how you make fun of him for it.
he obviously likes what he's done.
and it obviously has a humorous meaning to him, as he didn't copy it word for word.
i always thought this site was kinda cool.. but this time around; the only thing hideous about this post, was you perez.
i like it
Perez you don't understand anything, you just start talking shit about everyone and you don't even care about knowing what the real message of the song is, if you are so "latino" as you claim to be, you should understand at least half of the song. It's about illegal Paraguayan inmigrants, which come to Argentina to look for a job. The guy who sings is Argentinian but he's joking about being from Paraguay and how people discriminate him and call him "PARAGUA" which is a vulgar way of calling people from Paraguay, and also means "umbrella" in spanish. He's wearing a jersey from a Paraguay football team, and he's mentioning typical Paraguayan items such as "terere" which is a typical drink. And yes, it IS a joke, so you can stop talking shit before you get to know what the real thing is, ok?
Hope this information was useful;

PS: could all this racism stop please? I fucking hate to read offensive comments against Latin people. Perez, if you are Latino you should try not to encourage this comments. Thanx

Hideous, sh1teous, piteous and gross. Talk about terrorizing a track. HORRIBLEZZZZZZ!
ommmgg..the dancing. lol
it had to be a joke
Sii!! Me gusta el ritmo. Vamos Coci, aunque nadie te conozca.
Besos a Perez, desde el fondo de mi corazón argentino-polaco.
Yes!! I like the beat. Go Coco!, even if no one knows you.
Kisses to Perez, from the bottom of my argentinian-polish heart.
umm did you pay attention to the lyrics??
"Ena una plaza en ASUNCION…." meaning the capital of PARAGUAY.. meaning he's PARAGUAYAN…..
and "Paragua" can mean umbrella… but it also refers to the people of Paraguay….
perez, your blog is REALLY boring lately. You're writing shit stories that make me yawn. Get a grip and get back to the way you used to be. maybe you need a new hair colour, but this shit is so pussied down.
It's alright. Very Latino, but nothing shall ever compare to the original.
porfavoR! digame que si es una broma!!
y luego nos quejamos cuando dice que los latinos somos nacos…
NO TODOSOMOS IGUALES!!!!
F you!!
ok the song isnt that bad, but the video sucks ass!!!
Catchy!
thats a hell of a lot better than that god awful, stomach churning, peice of shit cover of Basket Case posted a few weeks ago.
He is not serious…who in this world has the fucking audacity to sing Umbrella in spanish?…hahhahaah…let alone a man named Coco..hahahaha
WHAT!!!?? QUEEE???????!!!! Que pena me da ser latina aveces.
Pues a mi si me gusta.
Peres, sos un boludo. The guy is making fun of the Paraguayans. En Argentina a los Paraguayos se les dice Paraguas
i like it better than rihanna's
Argentina es el mejor pais del mundo!!!! Viva la patria!!!
aguantee la plop!!!!!
es la fiesta que hizo estos videos! .. unas de las mejores fiestas de buenos aires!
igual este video es como una gran parodia xD
have a nice weekend
OMG i love it:) that just shows how creative my people really are love it
dale argentina no mas carajo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Umbrella in spanish is called "Paraguas". This song is called "Paragua", making reference to people from Paraguay. Its a parody, where thy used the word game to try to have a "cumbia" style hit song. It is a very frequently done thing, to have a hit song turned into a cumbia, and in Paraguay and Argentina there is a big audience for this rythm. However, I dont like this version!
u have to know spanish to get it, its actually a parody not a cover or translated cover or anything but a joke.
needs a beat down, i feel stupider for watching
OMG Perez, even a wise ass like you can't see this as a joke? and..I though u spoke spanish… seems that u know squad about argentinean culture and inside jokes….THIS is one of them… let it go men… keep working on Alba's jokes….
PLOP POP ! es una fiesta , se hacen todos los Viernes
.
La canción se llama "el paragua " es un cover de rihanna .
Es una broma . Cada viernes hay una tematica diferente en la fiesta . e inventan cosas .
Esta semana es de mucamas . Y por eso el video "el paragua" por "el paraguayo"
Besos !
Perezz!! IT IS A JOKEEE!! Dont you speak spanish and understand the lyrics??? Because hes talking about being from paraguay (el paragua) and moving to argentina…
No chance if you speak spanish that you didnt get that!!
Perez, i want to believe it's a joke. From what i heard the lyrics are about people from Paraguay, and some ugly comment about the ilegal way they enter the country.
this is hilarious and pretty good! they incorporates the cumbia rhythm (genius) and the lyrics are pretty damn hilarious!
this video makes me want to have a seizure
Perez! la verdad das verguenza!!! Me da verguenza ajena que digas ser latino, solo tenes el apellido porque obviamente no entendiste ni una palabra de lo que dice esta cancion!
Pero claro.. como vas a entender si seguro ni siquiera entendes lo que escribo aca!
AGUANTE ARGENTINA!!!
Re: Sarah – Flaca, si te da lastima ser latina por una boludez asi deberia darte mas lastima ser vos y tener que verte al espejo todos los dias. Que feo ser algo que te da verguenza….
Mas lastima das vos haciendo ese tipo de comentarios
Geez, Argentinians are Paraguay haters. I did not know that. Why do you think you're so special, Argentina?
I love it! It is actually better than the real song by what's her name.
Most of you probably don't like the video or the song because it is by someone who is not an american. There are so many really horrible videos…so much worse in taste than this one, yet no one complains about those.
definately the worst music video ever made featuring a lame translation of a classic song already and an asshole fugly whore trying to outstand. Sorry for him its no surprise is a fuc/&%4· argentino they are the most decadent people ever
Re: luli from argentina – Yo soy salvadoreño y bien entendí lo que el chavon este quería decir porque, 1) Mi mejor amigo es de Buenos Aires, 2) Aunque ya llevo 20 años en Canadá, siempre he estado rodeado de imigrantes hispanos y si, tenemos nuestras diferencias culturales y coloquialismos pero nos entendemos de todos modos. Los argentinos son bien buena gente…y cómo nosotros centroaméricanos, son VOSEANTES ORGULLOSOS!
Perez, this is not so much a remake of Rihanna's umbrella, but more a play on the word, "paragua." I really love you and wish you would have done some research before declaring this awful, it's actually funny if you understand it. "Paragua" is a slang term used in Argentina when referring to a Paraguayan (a country in Sound America, next to Argentina)…the song is about a Paraguayan going to Argentina, falling in love, and hating that everyone calls him a "paragua." He's wearing the Paraguayan soccer jersey, Perez, come on! I love you, but I'm disappointed you didn't catch on to any of this!
Hahaha, I liked it. ;D
YOU IDIOT PEREZ FOR A MAN THAT BRAGS HIMSELF OF SPEAKING SPANISH YOU CLEARLY DONT UNDERSTAND THE SONG!!!!!!!!!
HE IS A PARAGUAYAN (FROM PARAGUAY!!!!!!) WHO LIVES IN ARGENTINA AND HE IS SINGING THAT HE DOSENT LIKE TO BE CALL A "PARAGUA" TAHT IS A NICKNAME TO CALL PARAGUAYANS IN ARGENTINA!!!!!!!!!!
YOU BETTER START TAKING SPANISH LESSONS IDIOT
