Musical Interlude: Mambo #5 (1999)

Fifty years after Perez Prado had recorded it as an instrumental track, German singer Lou Bega became a 1-hit wonder here in the US with "Mambo #5". The track hit #1 in Australia and stayed there for 2 months. Not quite so hot here in the US, despite the video......



Nearly 20 years later, Bega's still trading off "Mambo", doing commercials and such.
