Metrosexual - Amandititita
The Mexican singer Amandititita (teeny tiny Amanda) has a very funny take on the "metrosexual" phenomenon. (A media-generated craze which, thankfully, seems to have run its course.).
She starts the song by pointing out that she has a lot in common with her "metrosexual" boyfriend:
"Cuando nos conocimos, no podíamos creer que fueramos tan similares. ¿No es una casualidad enorme que, habiendo tantos colores de tinte,los dos trajeramos rubio cenizo caoba?"
When we first met, we couldn't believe that we were so alike. Isn't it a huge coincidence that, given that there are so many colors of dye, we were both "ash blonde mahogany"?
She goes on to detail more of his "assets" :
Se sabe vestir y como caminar,
pestañas enchinadas,
mentón maquillado,
tiene todo el cuerpo operado,
tiene todo el cuerpo depilado,
pectorales, la barbilla y los labios injectados
...
He knows how to dress and to walk, has curled eyelashes, make-up on his chin.
His whole body has been (operated) worked on. His whole body has been waxed. His pecs, chin and lips have all been injected
Apparently, the poor guy is misunderstood :
Nadie entiende su lado femenino,
es un hombre que se quiere ver divino.
No one understands his feminine side, he's a man who wants to look divine!
There's a dark side to this pretty boy - he has a criminal record :
Una vez estuvo en prisión,
lo arrestaron por robar productos de Avon..
One time he was in prison. They arrested him for stealing Avon products. 
Here's the very funny video:
