In Brazil, a country well-known for its passionate culture and annual Carnival that makes the States' Mardi Gras seem like a party for kindergarteners, a song has been banned that extolls the benefits of slapping a woman. "Tapinha Cara" ("Slap on the Cheek") concerns a woman who asks to be slapped on the cheek as an arousal technique. Just like "Macarena," there's even a dance associated with the song, but instead of dancing cheesy steps that mimic the Chicken Dance, these moves have a man pretending to slap the woman he's dancing with. Surprisingly, many radio stations in this sexually charged country are banning the song from their airwaves. The nineteen-year-old singer, Alex Xela, stands behind the validity of the song, stating that the lyrics are not condoning abuse. Rather, Xela says the song is illustrating a sexual relationship he once had with a former girlfriend who enjoyed slapping as foreplay. My question is, do you think that Elton John will play piano for him at the Grammy's next year? Go To Page: 1
