Shakira – La La La (Brazil 2014) ft. Carlinhos Brown

Ricky Martin – Livin’ La Vida Loca
Ricky Martin’s “Livin’ La Vida Loca” was one of the defining songs of the late ’90s, thanks in part to its super-sexy music video. The video, which was directed by Michael Bay, features Martin as a suave ladies’ man who drives a convertible and hangs out in seedy nightclubs. It’s certainly not appropriate for younger viewers, but it’s undeniably catchy and fun to watch.
