Quinceañera, miniteca o reunión familiar, Elvis Crespo has won his spot as the king of merengue at almost any family party. Latinos def know his song “Suavemente,” but watching the 1998 video will make you question so much…

Vampire outfit? Check. Multicolor spirits coming out of his body? Check.
Also, the song and video open with “Suavemente, bésame que quiero sentir tus labios…” but does he really think he’s going to get someone to kiss him like this?
How was he not dubbed fashion icon of the decade?

For a song that’s all about a guy asking a girl to kiss him, the results are pretty depressing.
