Mastering the Macarena

The crew kick back on their day off by watching MTV's Top 100 One Hit Wonders. In at number 6: Los Del Rio with 'The Macarena'. Here Content Directors Steve and Bev brush up on the moves!

FYI: Number 1 was 'Ice Ice Baby' (for which Steve knows all the words!).

For a bit of light relief on this 'little Friday', the below is republished from a blog run last year from Panama (and many of these appeared in MTV's countdown):

'My Top 10 worst novelty records with tacky tropical flavour:

Black Lace - 'Agadoo'
Los Del Rio - 'Macarena'
Las Ketchup - 'Asereje (The Ketchup Song)'
Bombalurina - 'Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini'
Bobby McFerrin - 'Don't Worry, Be Happy'
DJ Otzi - 'Hey Baby'
Lou Bega - 'Mambo No.5'
Baltimora - 'Tarzan Boy'
Little Eva - 'The Loco-Motion'
Spitting Image - 'The Chicken Song'

Incidentally, the B-side of the 7" release of the last on this list is called 'I've Never Met A Nice South African'...'

PS. The Norwegians are hosting the weekly island hoedown tonight - I hope none of the above make it onto the playlist!
