1. Macarena – Los Del Rio
For a long period, maybe even now, this 90’s dance hit choked parties. Just about everyone knows, the music is lively and enjoyable, and it goes with a ridiculous dance. One issue is that the song is sung in Spanish, a language many people find difficult. Actually, the lyrics center on a lady who cheats on her military partner while he is gone. Oh dear!
Spanish speakers: Why have you been dragging out on us for so long? We have been out here dancing our booties to the love story of this poor sap. Beyond linguistic barriers, the Macarena became a worldwide craze with its contagious rhythm and basic dancing motions. Though non-Spanish speakers were blissfully spinning to the appealing song, they were unintentionally telling a story of adultery. Macarena, the main character in the song, enjoys two of her boyfriend’s buddies rather than merely cheating once! This insight gives the many weddings and family get-togethers where the Macarena was a fixture some irony. Millions of people all across fervently danced to a song about infidelity, all while believing it was only a pleasant party anthem—a monument to the power of a good beat.
