Earlier this week I posted a link to Hard ‘N Phirm’s video of “El Corazón”. In my post I mentioned that I didn’t understand why they chose to do the song in Spanish. Luckily for me, Chris Hardwick from Hard ‘N Phirm stumbled upon my post and decided to answer my question. Here’s a quote from an email he sent me:
We both live in Los Angeles and there are quite a few Spanish radio stations here and this song was sort of our tribute to the fact that we hear the word “Corazon” in many of the songs. We wanted to take the passion of those songs and make the content clinical. So, it never would have even occurred to us to do it in English.
Anyway, just wanted to post about this in case anyone else was wondering why they decided to make the song in Spanish. Thanks Chris!
