Bad Bunny

[Verse: Bad Bunny]
I really like the Gabriela’s
The Patricia’s, the Nicole’s, the Sofía’s
My first girlfriend in kindergarten, María
And my first love’s name was Thalia
I’ve got a Colombian who writes me every day
And a Mexican I didn’t even know about
Another one in San Antonio that still loves me
And the ones from PR that are all mine
A Dominican who is a fresh hottie, ayy
Fresh, fresh hottie
The one from Barcelona that came by plane
And says that my dick is fire
I let them play with my heart
I’d like to move in with all of them to a mansion
The day I get married I’ll send them an invitation
Boy, stop that

[Part II: Yo Perreo Sola + Safaera]

[Refrain: Nesi & Bad Bunny]
You used to ignore me (You ignored me)
Now I ignore you (Hmm, nah)
Before, you didn’t want to (Didn’t want to)
Now I don’t want to (Hmm, no)
You used to ignore me (-nored me)
Women all over the world
Now I ignore you
Before, you didn’t want to
Now I don’t want to
Twerking without fear

[Chorus: Nesi & Bad Bunny]
No, chill, I twerk alone (Hmm, ayy)
Ayy, ayy, ayy, move it, move it, move it
I twerk alone (Twerk alone)
Okay, ayy, ayy

[Verse: Bad Bunny]
My D is being chased and I want you to hide it
Grab it like a bonga
She took a pill that made her horny
She fucks in the Audi, not in the Honda, ayy
If I give it to you, don’t call me
‘Cause this is not to make you love me
If your boyfriend doesn’t—
He better fu—, ayy, ayy

[Bridge: Bad Bunny]
When she twerks she doesn’t stop
She smokes and gets horny, ayy
She’ll call you if she needs you, ayy
But for now she is alone
She twerks—

[Part III: Party]

[Chorus: Elena Rose & Bad Bunny]
Party, party, party, party
Party, party, party, party
Welcome to the biggest party in the whole world
Party, party, party, party
Party, party, party, party
Ayy, ayy

[Part IV: VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR]

I met her in Miami, in Brickell
She knows there’s money here
She wants me to make a move on her
Wants me to smuggle her back home, ayey

[Chorus: Bad Bunny]
I’m gonna take you to Puerto Rico, baby, so you can see how we dance
Bring your friend if you like the idea
Tell her we’re partying tonight, ayy
We’re gonna have a great time
Nobody’s getting married here
But you’re gonna want to stay, ayy

[Outro: Bad Bunny]
Take advantage, I’m single (Ay), single

She likes the gasoline
Give me more gasoline

[Part VI: EoO]

[Intro: Bad Bunny & Tito “El Bambino”]
You’re listening to music from Puerto Rico
From the neighborhoods and the housing projects
She’s coming around and she never shows up alone, alo-lo-lo-lo—
She never shows up alone
All the bad boys put down their gu—, ayy, ayy
Tonight, this is what’s going on-on-on-on-on (Say it)

[Part VII: MÓNACO]

[Intro: Bad Bunny]
Good afternoon, California
My name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio
And if today I’m here at the 60th Super Bowl
It’s because I never, never stopped believing in me
And you should, you should believe in yourself too
You’re more valuable than you think, believe me
Heh

[Verse: Bad Bunny]
Tell me, tell me, tell me, this is what you wanted?

[Part VIII: Die With A Smile]

[Intro]
By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife
You may kiss the bride

[Verse: Lady Gaga]
Ooh, lost, lost in the words that we scream
I don’t even wanna do this anymore
‘Cause you already know what you mean to me
And our love’s the only war worth fighting for

[Pre-Chorus: Lady Gaga]
Wherever you go, that’s where I’ll follow
Nobody’s promised tomorrow
So I’ma love you every night like it’s the last night
Like it’s the last night

[Chorus: Lady Gaga]
If the world was ending
I’d wanna be next to you
If the party was over
And our time on Earth was through
I’d wanna hold you just for a while
And die with a smile
If the world was ending
I’d wanna be next to you

[Part IX: BAILE INoLVIDABLE]

[Intro: Bad Bunny]
While one is alive one must love as much as possible

[Refrain: Bad Bunny]
No, I can’t forget you
No, I can’t erase you
You taught me how to love
You taught me how to dance

[Verse: Bad Bunny]
And I’ve had many girlfriends
But none like you
I don’t have my sun anymore, I live on the moon
If I think of you, I’d go for it in an instant
Ayy, ayy, my devil, my angel, my crazy girl, ayy
My devil, my angel, my crazy girl, eh-eh

[Outro: Bad Bunny]
Dance, dance, dance without fear
Love without fear

[Part X: NUEVAYoL]

[Intro: Bad Bunny]
New York!
Okay

[Chorus: Andy Montañez & Bad Bunny]
If you wanna have fun
With charm and delight
You just have to liver (Where?)
A summer in New York (New York!)
If you wanna have fun (Eh, eh, eh, eh)
With charm and delight (But what’s this?)
You just have to live (San Francisco)
A summer in New York (Enjoy it, ’cause this is just for a bit)

[Verse: Bad Bunny]
Hey, hey, hey, July 4th, 4th of July
I’m hanging out drunk with my cousin, feeling fly
My people in The Bronx know what’s up
Buzzing high over in Washington Heights
Willie Colón, they call me “The Bad One,” hey
‘Cause the years go by and I’m still hitting hard
Selling albums like Frida Kahlo paintings
The coke is white, yeah, yeah, the 2CB’s pink, eh-eh
Don’t get it twisted, no, no, better avoid it, ayy
A shot of rum at Toñita’s house and Puerto Rico feels so close
I have the championship, nobody can take it from me

[Interlude: Tito Trinidad & Bad Bunny]
The best in the world
Number one, the best in the world, ¿okay? Puerto Rico!
Always believe in yourself

[Outro: Bad Bunny]
How’s Bad Bunny gonna be the king of pop, ayy, with reggaetón and dembow?

[Part XI: LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii]

[Chorus: Ricky Martin]
They want to take my river and my beach too
They want my neighborhood and grandma to leave
No, don’t let go of the flag nor forget the lelolai
‘Cause I don’t want them to do to you what happened to Hawaii
No, don’t let go of the flag nor forget the lelolai
‘Cause I don’t want them to do to you

[Part XII: El Apagón]

[Intro]
With so much love for y’all

[Chorus: Bad Bunny]
Puerto Rico’s so fucking great, heh, it’s so fucking great

[Verse 1: Bad Bunny]
From Carolina came reggaeton and the sons of bitches from Bayamón
Ayy, ayy, they want to ride the wave and they haven’t gone to Rincón
A little kiss for grandma on the balcony
Catching all the holes, on the Rubicon
P fuckin’ R, ayy, land of Maelo and Tego Calderón
And of Barea who was champion before than LeBron
Hmm, damn, another blackout
Let’s go to the bleachers to light up a blunt
Before Pipo gets a sla—

[Chorus: Bad Bunny]
Puerto Rico’s so fu— great, heh, it’s so fucking great
Puerto Rico’s so fu— great, ayy, ayy, ayy

[Verse 2: Bad Bunny]
Ditch Maldivas, I’m staying in Palomino, ayy
If not then I’m going to DR, greetings to my neighbors, ayy
Here the heat is different, the sun is taíno, ayy
The capital of perreo, now everyone wants to be Latino, no
But they lack rhythm, drums and reggaetón, ayy, ayy
Careful with my friends, we’re a bunch
They lack rhythm, drums and reggaetón, ayy, ayy
Careful with my friends, we’re a bunch
Welcome to the heat

[Part XIII: CAFé CON RON]

[Chorus: Los Pleneros de la Cresta & Bad Bunny]
Coffee in the morning, rum in the afternoon
We’re already out in the streets, come out to your balcony

Coffee in the morning, rum in the afternoon
We’re already out in the streets, come out to your balcony
Coffee in the morning, rum in the afternoon
We’re already out in the streets, come out to your balcony

[Part XIV: DtMF]

[Interlude: Bad Bunny]
God bless America
Doesn’t matter if it’s Chile, Argentina
Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia
Perú, Ecuador, Brasil, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana
Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras
El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico
Cuba, Dominican Republic
Jamaica, Haiti, the Antilles
United States, Canada
And my motherland, my homeland: Puerto Rico
We’re still here
Now!

[Chorus: Bad Bunny]
I should’ve taken more pictures when I had you
I should’ve given you more kisses and hugs whenever I could
I hope my people never move away
Thank you
I should’ve taken more pictures

It’s Worse Than We Thought… NFL Lost Nearly Half of Their Audience During Halftime Show! | The Gateway Pundit

Performer in a white outfit energetically engaging with the audience on stage, surrounded by tall green plants.
Bad Bunny in the sugar cane field during his halftime show. Most Americans had never heard of him.

It’s worse than we thought.

The original numbers released showed Bad Bunny with respectable viewership on for the Super Bowl halftime.
Meanwhile, TPUSA took a chunk of the viewers who tuned in to their halftime presentation. Over 25 million viewers watched the TPUSA pro-American lineup.

But Samba TV reported startling numbers this morning.

According to Samba, NEARLY HALF of the Super Bowl audience tuned out at halftime rather than watch Hispanic act Bad Bunny whose entire act was in Spanish.

This was a shocking report.

The Super Bowl lost 22.1 million viewers during the halftime entertainment.

Samba TV reported:

#SuperBowlLX delivered another massive night of television and the data tells an interesting story.

Our latest viewership insights reveal:
📺 48.6M U.S. households tuned in to #SuperBowl LX, representing a 13% decrease from last year’s game
🎵 26.5M U.S. households watched #BadBunny’s #halftime performance, down 39% from Kendrick Lamar’s 2025 show

While viewership declined year-over-year, the Super Bowl remains one of TV’s most powerful cultural moments, delivering tens of millions of engaged viewers in an increasingly fragmented media landscape.

For brands and marketers, understanding these viewing patterns is essential for maximizing campaign impact and connecting with audiences when they’re most engaged.

Want to dive deeper into Super Bowl viewership trends and what they mean for your media strategy? Stay tuned for more Samba insights coming out of the big game in the next few days and reach out to learn how Samba’s real-time insights can inform your next big play.

“This Attitude You Have Is Why You in Great Britain Have Lost Your Culture” – Megyn Kelly Unloads on Piers Morgan Over NFL Halftime Show (Video) | The Gateway Pundit

Piers Morgan and a guest engage in a lively discussion on the set of "Piers Morgan Uncensored," showcasing expressive gestures and strong opinions.
Megyn Kelly lambasted Piers Morgan over the disgusting Bad Bunny halftime show at the Super Bowl.

Megyn Kelly joined Piers Morgan on Monday to discuss the controversial Super Bowl halftime show with Hispanic rapper Bad Bunny who rapped his lyrics in Spanish to the American audience.

The halftime show included men grinding on each other and filthy sex-filled lyrics after Bad Bunny’s words were translated to English and Americans could see what the show was about.

Apparently, Piers Morgan thought this was good entertainment. That’s when Megyn Kelly did not hold back and unloaded on the British reporter.

Megyn Kelly: I’m sorry, Piers, but to get up there and perform the whole show in Spanish is a middle finger to the rest of America. Who gives a damn that we have 40 million Spanish speakers in the United States? We have 310 million who don’t speak a lick of Spanish. This is supposed to be a unifying event for the country, not for the Latinos, not for one small group, but for the country. We don’t need a Black national anthem. We don’t need a Spanish-speaking, non-English performer performer, and we don’t need an ICE or America hater, featured as our primetime entertainment.

Megyn then went on to browbeat the British host, saying his attitude is why Britain and Europe have lost their culture. True.

Megyn Kelly: This attitude that you have right here is why you in Great Britain, have lost culture. You ceded your culture to a bunch of radical Muslims who came in and took over, and now it’s gone. We’re not allowing that here, whether it’s Hispanic, whether it’s Muslim. It’s not happening in the United States of America. That’s why President Trump was elected. And whether it’s Bad Bunny, who is American but refuses to speak English in his performances, or anybody else, we have to keep the Super Bowl, which is a quintessential American event. Football, that football is ours. They call it American football. The halftime show and everything around it needs to stay quintessential essentially American. Not Spanish, not Muslim, not anything other than good old-fashioned American apple pie. There should be a meatloaf, maybe some fried chicken, and an English-speaking performer. That’s what the Super Bowl should be.

GOP Lawmaker Calls on FCC to Take Action After Bad Bunny’s Shocking and Vulgar Halftime Show Lyrics are Translated to English | The Gateway Pundit

Two men interact inside a vehicle with a vibrant backdrop, highlighting a lively atmosphere at an event or festival.

At least one GOP lawmakers is calling on the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) to take action after Bad Bunny’s shocking and vulgar halftime lyrics were translated from Spanish to English.

As TGP reported, on Sunday night, Hispanic entertainer Bad Bunny performed at the halftime show at Super Bowl LX. Commissioner Roger Goodell and his team picked this anti-American act, who no one has heard of and most people cannot understand, to play at the Super Bowl this year.

This was infuriating to millions of Americans. And that is when TPUSA stepped in and decided to hold their own halftime show. At least 25 million people tuned in to the alternative show.

During one scene you can see two men simulating sex with each other.

Bad Bunny’s Spanish lyrics were translated to English and they were much worse than previously thought:

Lyrics from Bad Bunny's song featuring playful and provocative themes about romance and desire, highlighting a mix of humor and intimacy.
Bad Bunny lyrics (1)
Lyrics excerpt from a song featuring playful themes about attraction and confidence, emphasizing body positivity and fun interactions.
Bad Bunny lyrics (2)

Congressman Randy Fine (FL) called on the FCC to take action, including fines and broadcast license reviews against the NFL, NBC and Bad Bunny.

Rep. Fine’s statement:

You can’t say the f-word on live TV.

“Bad Bunny”‘s disgusting halftime show was illegal.

Had he said these lyrics — and all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth in English on live TV, the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous.

Puerto Ricans are Americans and we all live by the same rules.

We are sending BrendanCarrFCC a letter calling for dramatic action, including fines and broadcast license reviews, against the NFL, NBC, and “Bad Bunny.”

Lock them up.

Why does the Super Bowl use Roman numerals? | Denison Forum

Football in a night-lit stadium. By m.mphoto/stock.adobe.com. Super Bowl LIX

This Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs will play the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. The Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2024 World Series; the Boston Celtics won the 2024 NBA Finals; and the Florida Panthers won the 2024 Stanley Cup.

Why does the NFL use Roman numerals when no other league does?

The answer is simple. The Super Bowl is held in the calendar year following the beginning of the league’s regular season schedule. So, would Sunday’s game be the 2024 NFL Championship, even though it’s played in 2025? Would it be the 2025 NFL Championship, even though it culminates the 2024 season? Of course, the league could use common numerals, making this Sunday’s game Super Bowl 58. However, Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt suggested in 1970 that the big game employ Roman numerals instead, lending the game a kind of gravitas as a major event.

Mr. Hunt is also credited with coining the name “Super Bowl.” This was after he helped launch the American Football League to compete with the National Football League (the two merged in 1970, creating the AFC and the NFC). He also established the Dallas Texans, who soon became the Kansas City Chiefs. His son, Clark Hunt, continues to lead the team, turning them into one of the league’s most successful franchises. If the Chiefs are victorious Sunday, they will become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls.

And so, in three days the world will participate in the continuing legacy of Lamar Hunt. But in my mind, the remarkable success of the NFL, the Super Bowl, and the Chiefs are not his most significant achievement. It was my privilege to be the pastor of Clark Hunt and his family in Dallas. They are among the most gracious, humble people I have ever known.

Their personal integrity is Lamar Hunt’s most enduring legacy, one that will continue far beyond this Sunday’s game.

Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar

The contest will be significant for other reasons as well:

  • Donald Trump is expected to become the first sitting US president to attend the game. He will also tape an interview with Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier that will air during the pregame show.
  • The Super Bowl will be played at the New Orleans Superdome, which has hosted more legendary sports moments than any other venue in the country.  The NFL vows that the venue will be the “safest place to be” on Sunday night.
  • Music superstar Taylor Swift will be attending, sitting in a suite that costs a reported $2 million per ticket.
  • By contrast, Kendrick Lamar, who won five Grammys last Sunday, will perform at the halftime show for free. This is typical for Super Bowl performers; the boost to their careers more than offsets any payment they forego.

However, it’s doubtful that any of this will endure in our collective minds for long. Even the contest itself will be truly memorable only for the winner, and only for a short time for the rest of us. Do you remember who lost last year’s Super Bowl? What about the year before, or the year before that? Who won the game three years ago? Ten years ago?

This is the way of our frenetic, news-driven, constantly changing society. Cultural “vibes,” prizing feelings over facts and mood over meaning, are the currency of our day. “Social proof,” amplified in the digital age, is undoubtedly powerful in shaping our decision-making.

In this regard, there is good news for the good news of the gospel:

  • Joe Rogan, considered the most popular podcaster in the world, recently hosted Christian apologist Wesley Huff for a conversation about the truthfulness of our faith. Their discussion has 5.9 million views on YouTube so far.
  • Bible sales are booming.
  • Noted atheist Richard Dawkins is now calling himself a “cultural Christian.”
  • Famed scholars Niall Ferguson and his wife Ayaan Hirsi Ali have become public Christians.
  • Popular influencer Jordan Peterson’s latest book affirms the Judeo-Christian worldview as foundational to society and states that the proclamation of “man as an image of God” is “perhaps the greatest idea ever revealed.”
  • Young men are showing more interest in religion than in many years.

But as with Sunday’s Super Bowl, today’s headlines can quickly become tomorrow’s old news.

“If we don’t know what kind of God God is”

This is why we need always to remember that “the Lᴏʀᴅ reigns forever” (Psalm 146:10 HCSB). He alone is the king of the universe. He alone has the power to bring us the purpose and significance we long to experience.

To my point: Americans are wealthier than ever but less happy. As sociologist James Davison Hunter has observed, nihilism (the belief that life has no overarching purpose) is the prevailing sentiment of our post-Christian, secularized culture. The only power we truly possess is the capacity to choose how we will respond to our powerlessness.

By contrast, God alone “satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s” (Psalm 103:5).

  • Israel’s most beloved king acknowledged this fact as he prayed, “With you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light” (Psalm 36:9).
  • The wisest man who ever lived agreed: “Trust in the Lᴏʀᴅ with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths” (Proverbs 3:5–6).
  • Paul was one of the great scholars of Judaism (Acts 22:3) and “blameless” under the law (Philippians 3:6), but he testified that he “suffered the loss of all things” by comparison to “the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (v. 8).

When we experience personally a God who is love, our lives are suffused with significance and joy. A. W. Tozer was right: “Faith is confidence in the character of God, and if we don’t know what kind of God God is, we can’t have faith.”

According to the scholar D. A. Carson,

“To know God is to be transformed, and thus to be introduced to a life that could not otherwise be experienced.”

Will you be “transformed” today?

Super Bowl Players Using Their Platform to Promote Faith: ‘Just Giving Glory to God’ | CBN

NEW ORLEANS – Super Bowl 59 is just a few days away and this year’s big game is at the Caesar’s Superdome here in the Crescent City.

The traditional Super Bowl opening night kicked off on Monday, and CBN Sports was there to talk to some of the players from the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

More than 200 million are expected to watch the Super Bowl this year, and the players know there’s no bigger stage to proclaim the gospel.

Chiefs Quarterback Patrick Mahomes said, “It’s important to me every single day. It’s not about football, it’s just giving glory to God for being able to walk around and live my life, to have a beautiful family, to be able to have the impact on others and I’m going to use that stage and that platform win or lose to give glory back to Him, to hopefully bring others closer to Him and that they can have the same love for life that I have because of that.”

Chiefs Wide Receiver Justin Watson said, “It’s humbling. Kind of each day and especially each game I just say ‘God use me for your glory’ and that doesn’t mean winning football games always but just to be in a position and this platform and knowing it’s by His grace and His providence is just, is just know that He’s treating me much better than anything I deserve.”

Eagles Tight End Dallas Goedert said, “I believe. I’m a Christian, and it’s so, it’s so important to have a solid foundation and that, my mom instilled that in me. And you know all credit goes out to Him. And you know I’m just so blessed that He’s been giving me this opportunity you know to show the skills that He gave me on such a big platform.”

Eagles Linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. said, “There’s been times I’ve had injuries, I’ve been out for like a year, for the season, and I have to come back harder, come back from those, recovered from that. I feel like those have been really tough but God really got me through it.”

New Orleans is known for its spicy cuisine. This year, at Super Bowl 59, we’re seeing an additional bit of “salt” sprinkled in amongst the players.

Louisiana Officials and Advocacy Groups Demand Super Bowl Halftime Show Respect State Values — Cite Taxpayer-Funded ‘Vulgar Displays’ as Unacceptable | The Gateway Pundit

Guest post by J. Christopher Alexander of Louisiana Citizen Advocacy Group

Shakira and Jennifer Lopez during the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show (Screenshot: NFL)

In a January 16, 2025 letter to the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and the Louisiana Stadium and Expo. District, numerous Louisiana state senators, representatives,and prominent advocacy groups have expressed strong concerns about the increasingly vile displays and performances that have come to define Super Bowl halftime shows.

This year’s Super Bowl is in New Orleans, Louisiana and the letter makes it clear that halftime performances that mock God and objectify woman are not welcome in Louisiana.

The letter from 17 Louisiana elected officials and 15 Louisiana advocacy organizations notes that in 2024 alone “10 million state taxpayer dollars were taken from the La.

State Major Events Incentive Fund and were given to the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, including a specific appropriation of $5 million from that incentive fund, for economic development initiatives related to Super Bowl LIX.”

Anybody who has watched past Super Bowl halftime activities doesn’t need to be convinced that many such performances are blatant displays of narcissistic vulgarity.

The letter details a few of them:

“For example, in 2020, Jennifer Lopez wore little clothing and was groped by male and female dancers on stage, while the performer made sexually suggestive gestures and performed on a stripper pole.

It was widely reported in 2020 that Lopez’s performance generated thousands upon thousands of viewer complaints to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and on social media.

Based upon the large number of complaints, clearly other Americans found this performance violated basic community decency standards. Further, who can forget the infamous 2004 halftime show with Janet Jackson disrobing?

Jackson’s exposed bare breast was excused by one of her fellow performers as a “wardrobe malfunction” but it initially generated a fine against CBS from the FCC for more than $500,000.

Had that 2004 performance taken place in Louisiana and been proven to be intentional, it would have violated Louisiana’s obscenity law (R.S. 14:106) which prohibits such public exposure.

At the 2023 halftime show, performer Rihanna was shown groping herself while she sang song lyrics that were so offensive that few Louisiana adults could read those lyrics before an audience without shame.”

Louisianans love sports, and the letter recognizes and applauds the great economic benefits our State receives from major sporting events such as the Super Bowl.

These benefits, however, are far less important than ensuring that displays associated with such events occurring in our State are consistent with the values of a majority of Louisiana citizens, especially when our tax dollars contribute to them.

The signers of the referenced letter should be applauded for their strong voice on this issue.
