Yes, what's widely unknown is that this song was actually written by Michael Jackson, but he was uncredited. If you look up the songwriting credits at the ASCAP site, it's credited to "John Jay Smith."

It's probably about a teenage boy wanting his teenage girlfriend to give him a blowjob!

Your mouth, a mile, away!!

(bump!)
I was talking to a Venezuelan guy on the rig the other day, we were talking about the word 'Chevere' which is Venezuelan Spanish for "Cool". Anyway, I thought I would get him to work out this whole 'Hey you no se encatuse' / 'Hey you no se me conoce' thing.

Turns out there is a slang Caribbean Spanish word 'enGatuse' (from the verb engatusar), which means 'to be involved in strange or bad things'. So the lyrics are:

Hey you no me engatuse

This means 'hey you, don't involve me in wierd shit'

But, I think FB does sing 'Hey you know me, me conoce' in some of the verses, which is 'Hey you know me, and I know you' (I think).

Engatuse is apparently not used in other Spanish speaking places, just the Caribean, which would make sense with the Puerto Rican connection.

Just on Chevere, apparently it is a corruption of 'Chevrolet' because if you had a Chevvy in Venezuela you were really cool.

Hi Frank!! please come to Latinoamerica again...and visit Chile, you have thousands of fans here, I swear that you´ll enjoy here a lot . Any plan ??

Saludos y un abrazo

P.D.: Always I have a big doubt in the lyrics of Rock Music...what does it mean "encatuse"...(may be you want say "me conoce"?)



hmmm...that might be some special puerto rican word. i can't remember. i think it means "don't mess with me" or something like that. as i recall it was kind of a local"spanglish" word; or it could be that i just mangled the language. i've done a lot of that!
