Review
No Controles by Flans is not only a catchy tune from the 80's but also a lyrical masterpiece that employs various grammatical structures that can help you in your learning process, and other rhetorical devices to understand it message.
Use of Comparisons and Symbolic Language:
In lines like "porque es total y a todo el mundo gusto" (because it's "total" (total and everyone likes it), the song utilizes comparisons to emphasize the singer's crush in a bazaar. The phrase "es total" is not a common word but is used here refering something as "great"
Repetition:
The repeated phrase "No controles" (Don't control) throughout the song serves as a feminist refrain, reinforcing the message of individual freedom and resistance against male influences. This repetition not only emphasizes the central theme but also creates a rhythmic pattern that enhances the song's fun and dynamism.
Cultural References:

Wordplay and Figurative Language:
The lyrics often play with words and imagery to convey the message of independence and originality. For example, "mi forma de vestir" (my way of dressing) and "mi forma de pensar" (my way of thinking) are used metaphorically to represent broader aspects of individuality and self identity beyond just clothing and thought.
Idiomatic Expressions:
The phrase "a todos les encanta" (everyone loves it) and "a todos les excita" (everyone is excited about it) are idiomatic expressions that shares a feeling of appeal and excitement. These expressions add depth to the song's message by highlighting the positive reception of the singer's non-conformity.
Grammar Structure:
This fun song features various grammatical structures, including imperative commands ("No controles"), subjunctive mood ("porque es total y a todos les encanta"), and declarative statements ("mi forma de vestir"). And these structures contribute to express clarity and effectiveness of the song's communication.
