Playing over and over in my head: a song from my youth

I refrain from calling this an "oldie" because to me "oldies" are the songs from the 50's and before. Still, this is a song from the year I graduated high school, a little over 20 years ago.

Wow, am I really that old?

I LOVE that song. I feel you though, it is a total head-sticker.

What is a boricua?

Puerto Ricans often proudly identify themselves as Boricua, from the Taíno word Boriken, to illustrate their recognition of their Taíno heritage. The word Boriken, which translates to "the great land of the valiant and noble Lord", was used by the original Taíno Indian population to refer to the island of Puerto Rico before the arrival of the Spanish. The use of the word Boricua has been popularized in the island and abroad by descendents of Puerto Rico heritage, commonly using the phrase, "Yo soy Boricua" ("I am Boricua", or "I am Puerto Rican") to identify themselves as Puerto Ricans.
