Sube A Mi Motora
"Sube a mi Motora" (commonly referred as "Súbete a mi Moto") is a song by Menudo from their 1981 album ''Quiero Ser''. It became arguably the album's most popular song, topping the charts in Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Venezuela. It is considered by many Menudo fans to have been the group's best song ever and their signature song. Rene Farrait was the lead singer for this song. "Súbete a mi Moto" (''Get on my motorcycle'' in English) created some controversy in Puerto Rico, because in Puerto Rico "moto", at the moment the song came out, was the term used for illegal drugs (marihuana cigarette). Because of that, the song's name was different in Mexico than the original name using the term "motora". The Mexican version also became known across Latin America and was used in Menudo's 1982 film, ''Una Aventura Llamada Menudo'', where Farrait's substitute, Charlie Masso, sang it. Later, Roy Rossello also sang the theme as lead singer. 13 years after the song was out, member Ashley ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
