Well im from Mexico and I do not know if anyone else has noticed this but when Padcho says "Viva la Mexico" is wrong said.

He should just say "Viva Mexico" without "la"

Well, thats all have a nice day.

So what's the reason? I've also seen variations like "Viva la mexico" or "viva el mexico".

I'd rather trust a native speaker than some youtube videos, especially considering the fact that two of these 3 videos aren't from a mexican/spanish-speaking source

Well, all these videos (Viva la Mexico) are sung by foreigners (two are German, I presume), none is sung by a Mexican like ladykiller says.

Not what you will say these songs, but they sound funny. And I think "Viva la Mexico " is an expression common in Europe, perhaps because of this song.

And I agree with ladykiller.

Alebrije is correct, it should be "Viva Mexico" (I also speak spanish).

Gracias por la corrección Alebrije
