Dame Mas Gasolina

I found myself on YouTube doing a search for the title of a song I hadn't heard in a long time, but one that is, nonetheless, seared into my brain.

If I could make a soundtrack of my last trip through Latin America, this song would have to be the first on the list, the last on the list and the underlying thump for the rest of the mix.

It was, without a doubt, the most played song piped over public airways while I was traveling through Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile in the last months of 2005 and the first months of 2006.

The song? Gasolina. The catchy chorus? Dame Mas Gasolina.

In English? Give me more gasoline.

This is the literal translation. I'd love to know if there is some hidden idiom/slag definition that I'm not picking up on

But translation issues aside, oh, I loved hearing this beat again ...
