Because that's one of my favorite songs from that band.

No. No it is not.

OK, in that case, is it another remake of the John Cassavettes film?

No, it's this one:

You may know it. They played it in THE WOLF OF WALL STREET. However, the one played in this movie is the version in Spanish.

And no, it's not based on Laura Branigan's "Gloria," either.

Well, it turns out it IS about Laura Branigan's "Gloria"! Sort of.

FYI. The song by U2 is not about the name, nor a person named, Gloria. It is Latin for "glory" and the song has religious undertones. The chorus of the song basically means "glory to God in the highest" in Latin.

You're kidding, right? (Not about liking the song.)
