Bad Bunny is slated to do the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show this Sunday and while the President of the United States may not be a fan, ESPN's Pat McAfee is.
During his show this week, McAfee made his song request for what Bad Bunny should open his show with. Or at least, he tried to.
McAfee struggled to figure out which of Bad Bunny's songs felt best suited for the vibe.
"It was his WWE entrance," McAfee said, trying to remember. "I don't know the name of that [song]. That might have been the greatest entrance of all time... It was (expletive) outrageous. I downloaded the song immediately. It's my favorite song by far."
McAfee continued to struggle, looking through his Spotify playlists to find the right song.
"It's on my Let's Work one," McAfee suggested. "You know, this is when we're trying to motivate ourselves. This is when we're trying to get going. This is when we need to not understand the words, but understand the vibes."
Ultimately, he figured out that the song he wants to hear first is Chambea, which Bad Bunny used as a WWE entrance theme at the 2023 Backlash pay-per-view event.
"Yeah, he needs to (expletive) come out to this one," McAfee declared. "I have no idea what he's saying, but it's working. It's great."

There has been a lot of criticism of the NFL's decision to make Bad Bunny the Super Bowl Halftime Show performer.
Specifically, his outspoken distaste for President Donald Trump and his policies puts him on a no-go list for many NFL fans. Just this week, Bad Bunny delivered a strong statement against Trump and his federal agents at the Grammys.
But the NFL has weathered the storm of Trump's wrath before. Chances are, they'll weather it again.
