I can't explain it, but that song really pisses me off, in like every possible way. It's one of the few songs I will actively leave the dancefloor for.
Gasolina is just - the intro, right, humming, building up, and those distant shouts, it's like those music videos where they're in a huge deserted parking lot burning oil-soaked rags or something in barrels for warmth and the lights are orange with age and the tarmac ground is shiny-wet and the air thick and humid and no-one's quite dancing yet but they're moving, with intent, a little sinuous, and you just know it's all about to go off. (also I used to hear it in the gym and be like - girlfight! no, wait-) And, yes, galloping is definitely the word.
