Whoa. This video arrived on the Internet via a wormhole from an alternate present-day universe where there’s no irony and telethons still exist and Jerry Lewis and Charo are still alive. My head is in danger of exploding: this really is Charo covering Rihanna. And her backup dancers really are in sequined shirts. And this really happened last weekend. In 2009.
I picked a bad day to stop drinking before noon.
(Fun fact: Charo’s full name is María Rosario Pilar Martínez Molina Moquiere de les Esperades Santa Ana Romanguera y de la Najosa Rasten. Thanks, Wikipedia!)

wow. that is a hell of a name. i’m still unable to say the entire thing without spontaneously combusting
I places my hands on my head to prevent it from asploding.
Coochie, coochie coo!
Aye-yi-yi!
I’m guessing the vandals who performed plastic surgery on Michael Jackson practiced on whatever the hell that Charo thing is, first. Eeesh. She’s what the Weird Science kids would have created if they were using hardware procured from Liberian army surplus and instead of inputting images from Playboys, used old copies of Famous Monsters of Filmland.
Right after this performance, George Harrison beat the shit out of her
I’ve never been more proud to have muscular dystrophy. If it weren’t for people like me, we wouldn’t get to see performances like this.
Might be impressive to me if I knew a single Rihanna song besides Umbrella.
(because I hate shitty pop music, you see)
I hope I’m that energetic when I’m dead.
And this really happened last weekend. In Branson (not Bronson), Missour-ah.
Wait, no more 11 am martinis?
Aye Chihuahua! btw, I think she might be lip synching.
