Los Del Rio - Macarena

[Inner Smile]

WELL everyone i've just listened to this again and got all nostalgic

I will not go overboard though, so its a 9 FROM ME x

 

[Marilyn]

Nearly broke my leg running in here to give this an immediate and unconditional TEN

Now, come on?
What was I supposed to do?
He was out of town...
And his two friends were sooooo FINE

*geriatric swaying*

I was 6 or so when this came out, the perfect age to be forced to do the dance constantly and I never thought much about the song by itself. But then as an adult something changed within me and I realised that, removed from the dance, this is an absolute bop and a half

I seriously listen to it very often and get my life every time

Also every woman in the video is a complete icon and I wish them nothing but prosperity in their lives

 

[Marilyn]

Oh and

10 Macarena Christmas

 

[Penelope]

Dull original, THRILLINGLY trollopy hit version

 

[Loufoque]

Good lord, those first ten seconds just sends me Come through 1996

 

[Loufoque]

I feel this unquestionable bop needs a full renaissance. Why has it not smashed on TikTok?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Yuck.

Surely I can't be the only one here that hates it.

 

[RJN]

I don't hate it exactly, but I hardly even see it as a song

 

[RJN]

I'd rather listen to the Cotten Eye Joe any day

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I'd rather listen to the Cotten Eye Joe any day

No way! That one is terrible. Macarena at least sounds a little happier.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I’m sorry but how amazing wasn’t summer of 96?

 

[Soldi]

It’s something I only ever hear at a shit wedding/family party.

 

[KindaCool]

Yeah I was just gonna say, it's fun but only a few times a year at weddings and hens nights.

 

[RJN]

It’s something I only ever hear at a shit wedding/family party.

I would die to go to a shit wedding/family party right now

Macarena/Cotton Eye Joe/Cha Cha Slide/Cupid Shuffle marathon

That's a playlist of horrors. The only song missing is Saturday Night.

 

[VoR]

Did they even bother releasing a follow-up single?

[RaspberrySwirl]

Sorry but that list is missing Scatman.

 

[Loufoque]

Well, I am now officially having a Whigfield Saturday Night Kitchen Disco.

Think of You. Whew. Whig.

 

[Peekaboo]

Did they even bother releasing a follow-up single?

That's CUTE. They've been around since the SIXTIES and they're still going! They were very well-known in Spain way before the Anglo world caught up with them.

 

[VoR]

Oh I know, but I can't find anything on Wiki to suggest they released another single in English-speaking territories, aside from re-recordings of The Macarena. That's an unusually pure form of one-hit wonderdom.

 

[straightorbroken]

I'm surprised the producers weren't Motiv8 levels of in demand from all the usuals, but perhaps after G there was nowhere else to go but rock bottom:



Back to Macarena, I loved the dancer and remember being excited for Wes's Alane.

 

[Diddy]

Isn’t the Shit wedding/family party Hot List the same as the fabulous kitchen disco playlist?

I think the problem is the wedding/family
