Ricky Martin Says 'She Bangs' Is Naughty, Baby

(11/19/00, 10 a.m. ET) - Ricky Martin wrapped up the MTV Europe Music Awards 2000 in Stockholm on Thursday (November 16) with a show-stealing performance of "She Bangs." The Latin singer had some 50 dancers on stage with him, many of whom were sporting skimpy bikinis and swimming around in giant goldfish bowls at either side of the stage.
Martin also won a best male performance award at the ceremony, and he talked to the BBC backstage in his best British accent when asked about the meaning of "She Bangs". "Naughty, you think?" he said. "Why not? 'She Bangs'--it's reality. That's what it's all about. It's a bit sexual? Well, it's time to talk about sexuality in a very natural way--why not do it with music? It's something that should be done more often in every house."
Martin will return from Stockholm to perform "She Bangs" on The Rosie O'Donnell Show Friday (November 24).
