Leo Jaime: Sonia (Sunny) (1983 Music Video)
6/10
Fine video but this clean version of the racy song is a mess
11 April 2024
It's a laughable pity what Leo Jaime was forced to do with this clean version of the originally conceived song "Sonia (Sunny). I'm not talking about the video, which is slightly amusing with the story presented, but the actual song that made the original one sexy, audacious and hilarious turn into a ridiculous censored version that almost doesn't make any sense while telling the story of a guy infinitely and insanely horny for the title character. The album version is a thousand times better than the sanitized version, which modifies lyrics and intention to a cringe degree.

Jaime plays a dual role as a performer of a teen party where he's also a teen character trying to get the attention of a pretty girl, and between dancings and some craziness going around. It's not MTV quality material and production but one can have fun with the scenarios presented.

As for the song, I can't see a reason for enjoyment because of how it could work when we know the "dirtier" version is way more fun (no video was made for it, for obvious reasons). Either way, one will never look at Bobby Hebb's original "Sunny" the same way again. 6/10.
