so yesterday was my senior prom, and I went with 2 of my best friends (one of which is my ex, but that's a whole thing im not gonna get into here) and met up with a pretty big group- roughly 15 ppl counting some friends who didn't start with us but hung around for most of the time
and near the end, when ppl who were only there for pictures and prom court were heading out, the dj was getting to the end of the song suggestions and apparently decided to play Despacito.
interesting choice for a school with a nearly 50% Mexican student body after only playing white girl pop, country and club music the whole time, but okay. wtv. I was thinking abt Voltron Heros anyway. I have issues (autism)
Now my ex, who is the one that got me properly into vld back in 2020, my best friend, who has had to hear everything about it pretty much since then and one of my other very close friends, who introduced me to vld in 2018 all knew that's what I was thinking before I even started singing it, solely from how I reacted to the intro.
now, I'm dancin around and singing a parody song made 7 years ago completely from memory, quite literally surrounded by friends who all know (to varying extents) how much of a nerd I am, but no one. and I mean no one. was prepared for the moment Despacito ended and I shouted to my group "IT WOULD BE SO FUNNY IF THEY PLAYED GASOLINA TOO" (only the original 3 ppl mentioned truly knowing what that had to do with anything) and immediately after a laugh from one friend and an exasperated groan from another I KID YOU NOT. Puerto Rican rapper Daddy Yankee's 2004 hit Gasolina starts blaring
