Mambo No 5 by Lou Bega

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mambo Number Five
One, two, three, four, five
Everybody in the car, so come on, let's ride
To the liquor store around the corner
The boys say they want some gin and juice
But I really don't wanna
Beer bust like I had last week
I must stay deep because talk is cheap
I like Angela, Pamela, Sandra and Rita
And as I continue you know they getting sweeter
So what can I do? I really beg you, my Lord
To me is flirting it's just like sport, anything fly
It's all good, let me dump it, please set in the trumpet
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 Five
Jump up and down and move it all around
Shake your head to the sound
Put your hand on the ground
Take one step left and one step right
One to the front and one to the side
Clap your hand once and clap your hands twice
And if it looks like this then you doing it right
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
Trumpet, the trumpet
Mambo Number Five
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
I do all to fall in love with a girl like you
'Cause you can't run and you can't hide
You and me gonna touch the sky
Mambo Number Five

Well. I much prefer the original. The original is totally bad ass. Very fun to dance to. Makes me feel happy to dance to it. You can imagine all kinds of things to the music. It’s open and free. This version barely resembles the original and it makes it all about how many chicks this dude can screw. What a dam shame. I’m sad that this version became so popular. I played it and Sarah was asking what does he mean by all those girls he is naming? Made me realize once again how growing up as a girl in this world is a very very different experience as being a dude. Men suck.

First off, yes men do suck - we're a bunch of trolls

Now when I first heard this song

~ I thought Mambo number 5 was the name of his latest STD

Or maybe each new STD gets a girls name, so he's naming all of them

Catchy song, but really creepy vibe

So I decided to flip the script and imagine he's a dog groomer

All of the names are his regular clients that he beautifies

That way he still gets brag about his bitches

~but he doesn't come off as a womanizing whore

I'll have to find the original, it will make me much happier
