Blind Idiot" Translation: May be lampshaded in "Underneath Your Clothes", Shakira's first attempt at an original English song, with the second line: "don't get me wrong, 'cause this might sound to you a bit odd". Sure, it refers to the idea of the song being about... whatever it's about... but also warns listeners that the English may not be of a high grammar quality. That line is the worst offender in the song, both misusing the idiom "don't get me wrong" and employing technically correct Yoda Speak for the apology. Hot Pursuit: In the video for "Ciega, Sordomuda" Shakira and friends are arrested for dancing in the street, the police unafraid of being rough. She manages to get out with some guy and there is a chase scene, complete with smashing through cardboard boxes. The cops never quite catch them and in the end discover that they are robots and then the video ends, leaving the viewer with no knowledge whether Shakira and the this-videos-love-interest's dancing with hoops to a mariachi band in the street then leading the police through streets of blindfolded anybodies to discover they are robots in an abandoned disco crimes were ever punished. (The cops could well have been chasing them because first she was and then the pair were both blindfolded, though, and not because they broke out.) Not to mention that it blatantly lies about her height (According to the line-up it's 5'9''). It's a strange one. The pair would later work together again for the British weekly comic 2000 AD on the Judge Dredd epic "Goodnight Kiss", another tale set in the radioactive wasteland of the Cursed Earth, where Judge Dredd is hunted by the assassin Jonni Kiss and the mutant Brotherhood of Marshalls. This is the weekly Prog 2011 in the regular numbering scheme, published in December 2016, not the annual Prog 2011 published in December 2010Intelligent Gerbil: The Teknosaurs are spacefaring cyborg dinosaurs whose behavior is much like real dinosaurs: the carnivores are happy to eat their opponents, for instance. Power Fist: The appropriately named Fist is an alien mercenary whose body is about 50% giant fist that he uses to punch through pretty much anything. Assassins Are Always Betrayed: When Valentine is hired by a Femme Fatale to assassinate a politician, she teleports her associates into the room after he completes the mission to kill him too for being a loose end. He had already planned for this, and kills his contractors before they can do the same to him. He didn't live long enough to write his memoirs by not being Crazy-Prepared. In true Wyclef style, he manages to repeat "Shakira, Shakira," far too many times to count, and still get " The Fugees" into 'Hips Don't Lie', as well as both his home country (Haiti), Shakira's (Colombia) and her birthplace (Barranquilla). Percival also painted the Sláine story "King of Hearts" for 2000 AD, where he worked with the co-creator of 2000 AD, Pat Mills.
