This is pure cheese.  But it's good cheese.  It has all of the essentials: catchy tune, bizarre instrumentation (is that a flute?), ridiculous lyrics, and deeply weird costumes.  Oh, and boobs.  Lots of boobs.  Seriously, I defy you to not slightly enjoy this. 
La Factoria are a duo straight out of Panama (current spiritual home of melodic reggaeton).  The song's a duet, in which one of them apologises for having slept with the other one's husband.  It's a musical catfight.  It's awesome.  The lyrics are a joy, and some kind soul has even translated them (really really badly... But you can get the gist.  It's not complicated.  It's a catfight.)
When I saw them live, one of them had left the band, and so the other one had to play both parts.  It was the most brilliantly schizophrenic performance I have ever seen.  Worthy of the Tate Modern or something.
