Super Bowl 60

[babytruk]

The commercials (except one), the halftime, the game….. I just couldn’t watch the whole thing. Congrats Seabird defense. I did complete the whole Puppy Bowl game… some decent commercials too. I remember when watched sports, not watched the betting sites.

The half time show is total shit.

How many times do you crank up the volume when "La Bamba" cues up on the oldies station in your truck and then you sing the La Bamba part of the song since you know that part? We've all seen worse halftime shows....

Loved the halftime show because it was creative and artistic.
I think many people missed the point of the show. The same haters of the show probably love opera which BTW is rarely in English.

And some political powers said it should have been an American singer. Yeah, well Porto Rico is an American territory and they are US citizens And have been for over 100 years.

Skakira starred in 2020, alongside Jennifer Lopez and featured Bad Bunny as a guest performer. But that was a long time ago LOL.

Maroon 5 / Travis Scott & Big Boi <= Listened and it was not good - but again not the "worst"

Halftime show threw a fault. Needs a recall. Turned it off. Hopefully resets for next year.

I didn’t watch the game, but I did watch the “Puppy Bowl”! More action!

Richie Valens is one of the two things my junior high school was famous for, the other being a plane crash on a playground full of students.

PS, I remember how creepy I thought the Michael Jackson halftime show was...

Hmmm.. That would be a never did...
The lyrics are not exactly meaningful. It's just a meaningless dance song with all of the impact of KC and the Sunshine Band's "Shake your Booty", but with less rhythm.

I think it's telling that the discussion has turned to "it could have been worse".
Truly, that's a stunning endorsement for a multi-million dollar waste of time.

The half time shows have lost any connection to football.
Even the game itself is out of touch with football fans.
The cheapest seats went for $5 GRAND.

I suppose when you have to pay huge salaries for questionable entertainment, somebody has to foot the bill, and the NFL is all about the money.

College football is a lot more fun to watch.

I must have skipped over that poignant portion of the half time show...
You know, that part with the goat in it...

Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, but here is a translation of the words of the song La Bamba;

La Bamba Spanish Lyrics & English Translation

Para bailar La Bamba
Para bailar La Bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Pa’ mí, pa’ ti, ay arriba, ay arriba
Y arriba, y arriba
Por ti seré, por ti seré, por ti seré


To dance the beat
To dance the beat
You need a little grace
A little grace
For me, for you, ah come on! ah come on!
And come on! come on!
For you I will be, for you I will be, for you I will be


Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitán
Soy capitán, soy capitán
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba, bam


I am not a sailor
I am not a sailor, I’m (the) captain
I’m the captain, I’m the captain
Beat, beat
Beat, beat
beat, beat, beat


Para bailar La Bamba
Para bailar La Bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Pa’ mí, pa’ ti, ay arriba, ay arriba


To dance the beat
To dance the beat
You need a little grace
A little grace
For me, for you, ah come on! ah come on!


Para bailar La Bamba
Para bailar La Bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Pa’ mí, pa’ ti, ay arriba, ay arriba
Y arriba, y arriba
Por ti seré, por ti seré, por ti seré


To dance the beat
To dance the beat
You need a little grace
A little grace
For me, for you, ah come on! ah come on!
And come on! come on!
For you I will be, for you I will be, for you I will be

Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba

Bamba, bamba

I think it's telling that the discussion has turned to "it could have been worse".

Did not say, it could have been worse....I stated, "We've seen worse"

The half time shows have lost any connection to football.
Even the game itself is out of touch with football fans.
The cheapest seats went for $5 GRAND.

When was a halftime show ever about football....and while I would never pay $5K for a ticket, there are those that will...welcome to America...

I suppose when you have to pay huge salaries for questionable entertainment, somebody has to foot the bill, and the NFL is all about the money.

College football is a lot more fun to watch.

You'll get no argument from me on that point...
