Ariel

The song 'Ariel' by Billo's is a light-hearted expression of admiration and perhaps a touch of envy towards a person named Ariel, who is depicted as a multi-talented individual. The lyrics convey a desire to emulate Ariel, who is not only a writer and singer but also a designer and ballet dancer. The repetition of 'Yo quiero ser como Ariel' (I want to be like Ariel) emphasizes the strong wish to possess the same skills and attributes that make Ariel so appealing, especially to the 'chiquitas' (young girls) who are 'loquitas por el' (crazy about him).

The song reflects a common human sentiment of wanting to be like someone else who seems to have it all. It touches on the theme of aspiration and the allure of a Renaissance man, someone who excels in multiple fields. The mention of Ariel's diverse talents suggests a yearning for not just success but also the admiration and attention that come with it. The singer's lament of not having what Ariel has because they are not like him speaks to the universal feeling of lacking in comparison to others who seem to have more talents or success.

Culturally, the song may also comment on the societal pressures to be a polymath or a jack-of-all-trades in order to be considered successful or desirable. It's a playful take on the idea that to be truly noteworthy, one must have a broad set of impressive skills. The song's catchy and repetitive nature makes it an accessible and relatable tune for those who have ever felt overshadowed by someone else's achievements.
