Pitbull may be set to appear on an upcoming episode of Glee. Entertainment Weekly reports that the show's producers are considering the singer-rapper for the role of big brother to Santana (Naya Rivera). Gloria Estefan has already been cast as the character's mother.

In a video interview recorded at Rolling Stone earlier this year, Pitbull expressed his hope that his songs would be featured on Glee. "It's an amazing movement," he said of the show and its soundtrack releases. "Have they approached me? No. Will it happen? Absolutely."

“V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F.”

Fishbone | 1985

Quite a few musicians have utilized initials for song titles -- Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T.," Abba's "S.O.S.," Donald Fagen's "I.G.Y.," etc. But the more curiously initialed tune has to be "V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F.," short for "Voyage to the Land of the Freeze-Dried Godzilla Farts." Fishbone's original guitarist, Kendall Jones, explained to Rolling Stone, "When Norwood [Fisher] wrote it, he introduced it to the band saying, 'Man, I've been hearing about all these Nazi right-wing groups on the news saying the Holocaust was staged. So what if America said it never dropped two atom bombs on Japan, that it was actually Godzilla popping a couple off?' Only Norwood would come up with something that out." The same year "V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F." was released, the film Godzilla 1985 appeared in North America.
