"Mambo No. 5" is a famous mambo dance song originally recorded and composed by Pérez Prado in 1952. Interpolations from various portions of this song was formed into a new song "Mambo Number Five", which was released by Lou Bega in 1999. It was a smash hit in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, where it reached #1 in 1999. It also topped almost every chart in Continental Europe, and set a record by staying at number one in France for 20 weeks (longer than any stay at the top spot ever on the US or UK charts).
Scroll and Sing:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is mambo no.5.
Chorus:
A little bit of Monica in my life.
A little bit of Erica by my side.
A little bit of Rita is all I need.
A little bit of Tina is what I see.
A little bit of Sandra in the sun.
A little bit of Mary all night long.
A little bit of Jessica, here I am.
A little bit of you makes me your man.
Mambo Number 5 !
Jump up and dance.
And move it all around.
Shake your head to the sound.
Put your hands on the ground.
Take one step left, and one step right.
One to the front, and one to the side.
Clap your hands once, and clap your hand twice.
And if it looks like this.
Baby you're doing it right.
(2x Chorus)
I do all through.
Fall in love with a girl like you.
You can't run, you can't hide.
You and me, both we touch the sky.
Mambo Number 5 !
