For all Miami natives rank on Hialeah, we sure love to talk about it and enshrine it in art and song. Even people who don't actually live there seem to want a piece of the Hialeah shine. One entry into this growing body of cultural expression: "Sweet Home Hialeah," a parody song and video by Enrique y Joe, former morning hosts on La Kalle 98.3 FM. (Enrique Santos now hosts the daily 6 a.m. to noon slot on the station by himself, Monday through Friday.) It was uploaded a couple years ago but we missed it the first time around, and it seems to be growing some new Internet legs. Like any good Latin media piece of comedy, it involved both scantily clad biological females, as well as a man dressed up as a woman.
