The article refers to Geri Halliway as using Spanish style inspired by this song. I just wanted to say that this cannot be really true as Halliway's mother is Spanish so the influence of Spanish words in her songs is obvious.

[edit] La Palma Island

This summer I've been in La Palma (the second-most western island of the Canary Islands in Spain). I was told the Madonna song refers to this Island (La Palma), where Madonna was supossed to live for some time. There are some facts which could indicate this is true:

 - The song talks of "siesta" a typical Spanish custom (Spanish reference also in "Your Spanish lullaby")
 - The City/town referred in the song (San Pedro) could well be the town of San Pedro de Breña Alta. See http://www.ing.iac.es/PR/lapalma/geography.html
 - The motto of the Island is "La Isla Bonita" as in the song title (see http://www.lapalmaturismo.com/ingles/MARCO/MARCO1.htm).
 - The Island has a wild nature ("All of nature wild and free"), see http://www.islalapalma.com/en/places/index.html?p=caldera
 - Ths Island has a tropical climate (as in "Tropical the island breeze")

[edit] Nope, La Isla Bonita is a real place

-It's motto is "La Palma" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.152.248.120 (talk) 02:31, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] La Isla Bonita (Remix/Edit)

This version is available in the german CD "The Hits Album 6". Also you can find it in many 7" vinyls.

[edit] Byanka's Mexican Spanish version

Do you know the Mexican singer Byanka when it was used by the 1987 Spanish song version of the same title? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.178.88 (talk) 14:16, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Madonna-La-Isla-Bonita.jpg

Image:Madonna-La-Isla-Bonita.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
