Las Temibles de Argentina

This sketch is about as silly as they come, but well worth a look all the same. Grandpa is pleasantly surprised (to say the least) when Grandma invites Las Temibles over to sing "happy birthday:"

If we're reading the translation correctly, Las Temibles were an Argentine girl-group that made it big on Peruvian TV during the late 80s. While their repertoire was largely musical, they were also accomplished comedic actresses, appearing in numerous variety shows until they found a home on Risa y Salsa (Panamericana Televisión, 1980-1999). As a general rule, "The Fearsome Ones" usually wore skimpy outfits, they occasionally stripped down to their lenceria on special occasions (as suggested in the vid-clip posted above).
