To be honest the song makes absolute sesnse, so they use Shakira's accent as an excuse to say the song doesn't make sense.




It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused isn't fixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you don't care
if I'm alive or dead

So objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother

Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away

Next to her cheap silicon I look minimal
That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible
But you gotta know small things also count
You better put your feet on the ground
And see what it's about

Objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother

Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away

I wish there was a chance for you and me
I wish you couldn't find a place to be
Away from here

This is pathetic and sardonic
It's sadistic and psychotic
Tango is not for three
Was never meant to be

But you can try it
Rehearse it
Or train like a horse
But don't you count on me
Don't you count on me boy

Objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother

Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away

I have to admit it is "clumsy". But it is so hard to translate lyrics and still keep the real meaning of the song, while rhyming as well.
The funniest one I would have to say was when she says "Lucky that my breast are small and perky so you don't confuse them with mountains". When i first heard that and found out what it meant because I heard the "controversy", I laughed my ass off. I was like that's the classic Shakira we love.

But anyway, she was referring to women who have big breast. She’s calling them out. She didn’t just take a random word or anything like that. I’m pretty sure you already know that.

In the Mad TV is not. they change the lyric to proud and perky.

They also change it to "Whatever, Don't Matter". :P
"Whenever, Wherever" is a class song, my favourite of hers apart from "She Wolf". It's fun to sing, and as for dancing, I can dance as well as she can, or I could if I was the right shape - "Sucky that my breasts aren't small or humble, so instead of dancing, I'm bouncing."

This is how the lyrics would be like if they were clearly translated.


Furtive as she passes by
Furtive as she passes by
That she wolf is special
Look at her walk, walk

Who hasn't wished for a licantrophe goddess
while in the heat of a romantic night
My howlings are the call
I want a domesticated wolf
I have at last found an infallible solution to completely erase the guilt
I won't stay by your side watching TV and listening to apologies
Life has given me a voracious hunger and all you give me is candy
I'm going out along with my legs and my youthfulness even if jealousy kills you

There's a she wolf in the closet
who wants to get out
Let her eat up the neighborhood
before you go to sleep

I've got magnetic stilettos
in order to leave the pack frenzy
The full moon is like a fruit
It doesn't give advice nor does it hear them
I carry a special radar with me to found single men
In case I got in trouble I also have the firefighters' phone number
neither really cute guys nor divos nor rich boys, I know what I want
To have lots of fun and behave really bad while in the arms of some gentleman

There's a she wolf in the closet
wants to get out
Let her eat up the neighborhood
before you go to sleep

When it's almost one in the morning the she wolf in heat greets the moon
She doesn't know whether go down the street or enter some bar and try her luck
She's already sat down in her table and is taking aim at her next prey
Poor guy, who wasn't expecting something like this

Furtive as she passes by
Furtive as she passes by
That she wolf is special
Look at her walk, walk
Let her eat up the neighborhood
before you go to sleep

Attempting to talk to a girl haha wish me luck.Also I started drumming at my church (No I'm not a Christian I'm an Atheist but I'm forced to go to church)

It's a bit cooler than worshipping a dude who probably isn't even real.

Not to mention we get to live forever in Heaven with our beliefs. You just die.

Actually, if we're right, you just die too. Believing in it doesn't make it more real.

This debate has cropped up before, and it's hardly against the rules though.
