German singer Lou Bega recorded a cover of the song and released it in April 1999 as the first single from his debut album, A Little Bit of Mambo (1999). His version became a summer hit during 1999 in most of Europe.[4] Later that year, it experienced success in the United Kingdom, North America, and Oceania. In France, it set a record by staying at number one for 20 weeks.[5] The song reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 on 2 November 1999, giving Bega his only top-40 hit in the United States.[6]

Critical reception[edit]

Elisabeth Vincentelli from Entertainment Weekly rated the song with an B minus, adding, «All of a sudden, mambo is hot again, and the unlikely city of Munich is on the Latin-music map. For this we have to thank the Ugandan-Italian Bega and his German producing team, who have hit pay dirt by tacking new lyrics onto an old Perez Prado song. While purists scream murder, the upbeat tune and bouncy, ’80s-style synthesizers will rule weddings for months to come.»[7]

Copyright dispute[edit]

The song became the subject of a seven-year copyright trial between Prado’s estate, the music publisher Peermusic, and Bega’s producers. Bega had only used riffs (which by German law cannot be registered for copyright) from Prado’s original and written the entire lyrics, so Bega’s producers went to court in order to gain access to all the song’s proceedings from Peermusic representing Prado’s estate. However, after seven years the Federal Court of Justice of Germany ruled in favor of Peermusic and Prado’s estate in 2008, based upon the fact that Bega’s producers had sought a royalty agreement with Peermusic prior to releasing the song. Because of Bega’s significant contributions to his version, the court’s final ruling declared it a new song co-written by Prado and Bega.[8]

Music video[edit]

The accompanying music video for «Mambo No. 5», directed by Joern Heitmann, features Lou Bega singing and dancing with flappers.[9] An alternate music video aired on Disney Channel, featuring clips from various Disney films and television series, with newly recorded lyrics by Bega dealing with the featured characters.[10]

On 3 September 2001, BBC Records released a novelty version of the song sung by British actor Neil Morrissey, who provided the voice of Bob for children’s television show Bob the Builder. It features background vocals from Rob Rackstraw and Kate Harbour, who voiced several other characters on the show.[86] This cover radically changed the lyrics to fit the theme of the show, making numerous references to construction, repairs and roadway maintenance, as well as the show’s characters. The female names from Bega’s version are also replaced with types of construction supplies and building tasks, e.g., timber, saw, waterproofing and tiling.

Chart performance[edit]

On 9 September 2001, the song debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart,[87] becoming Bob the Builder’s second number-one single on the listing after «Can We Fix It?».[87] In doing so, Bob became the first novelty act to top the UK chart with more than one single.[88] Following the 11 September attacks, the song was removed from the BBC Radio 2 playlist, with the station’s executive music producer Colin Martin describing the song as being «too frivolous in light of the news that was breaking».[89] The song earned a gold certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) on 12 October 2001 for shipping over 400,000 units.[90] At the end of 2001, it was ranked as the UK’s 17th-best-selling single.[91]

In Ireland, the song first appeared on the Irish Singles Chart at number 13 on 13 September and peaked at number four the following week.[92][93] It remained in the top 50 for 10 weeks in total.[94] At the end of the year, the song came in at number 42 on Ireland’s year-end chart.[95] «Mambo No. 5» debuted at number three on the Australian Singles Chart on 4 November 2001 and reached number two on 18 November.[96] After staying at the position for another week, the song descended the chart, spending nine more weeks in the top 50.[96] It was Australia’s 26th-most-successful hit of the year and shipped over 70,000 copies, allowing it to receive a platinum certification from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).[97][98]

Release history[edit]

Ome Henk parody[edit]

In 1999, Dutch TV character Ome Henk took a parody of the song called «Mambo Nr 6» to number 17 on the Dutch Top 40.[104] The lyrics referred to the medicine prescribed to him, which causes hallucinations of the girls he mentions in the song. A parody of commercials for the fictional product is also heard.

Legacy[edit]

  • The original recording by Pérez Prado was inducted into the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001.[105]
  • This song was initially selected as the theme song of the 2000 Democratic National Convention, but this plan was scrapped due to the possibility of people associating the song with Monica Lewinsky, who had a central role in the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal, with the chorus, «A little bit of Monica in my life».[106][107]
  • The Lou Bega version has become associated with the England cricket team and Test cricket after it was used by UK broadcaster Channel 4 as the theme for their live coverage of England Test matches between 1999 and 2005; the music also accompanied the return of cricket to the channel during the 2021 India–England series.[108] Having been particularly famous during the 2005 Ashes series won by England, the song is still played today by the England cricket fans, the ‘Barmy Army’.[when?][citation needed]

German singer Lou Bega recorded a cover of the song and released it in April 1999 as the first single from his debut album, A Little Bit of Mambo (1999). His version became a summer hit during 1999 in most of Europe.[4] Later that year, it experienced success in the United Kingdom, North America, and Oceania. In France, it set a record by staying at number one for 20 weeks.[5] The song reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 on 2 November 1999, giving Bega his only top-40 hit in the United States.[6]

Critical reception[edit]

Elisabeth Vincentelli from Entertainment Weekly rated the song with an B minus, adding, «All of a sudden, mambo is hot again, and the unlikely city of Munich is on the Latin-music map. For this we have to thank the Ugandan-Italian Bega and his German producing team, who have hit pay dirt by tacking new lyrics onto an old Perez Prado song. While purists scream murder, the upbeat tune and bouncy, ’80s-style synthesizers will rule weddings for months to come.»[7]

Copyright dispute[edit]

The song became the subject of a seven-year copyright trial between Prado’s estate, the music publisher Peermusic, and Bega’s producers. Bega had only used riffs (which by German law cannot be registered for copyright) from Prado’s original and written the entire lyrics, so Bega’s producers went to court in order to gain access to all the song’s proceedings from Peermusic representing Prado’s estate. However, after seven years the Federal Court of Justice of Germany ruled in favor of Peermusic and Prado’s estate in 2008, based upon the fact that Bega’s producers had sought a royalty agreement with Peermusic prior to releasing the song. Because of Bega’s significant contributions to his version, the court’s final ruling declared it a new song co-written by Prado and Bega.[8]

The accompanying music video for «Mambo No. 5», directed by Joern Heitmann, features Lou Bega singing and dancing with flappers.[9] An alternate music video aired on Disney Channel, featuring clips from various Disney films and television series, with newly recorded lyrics by Bega dealing with the featured characters.[10]

On 3 September 2001, BBC Records released a novelty version of the song sung by British actor Neil Morrissey, who provided the voice of Bob for children’s television show Bob the Builder. It features background vocals from Rob Rackstraw and Kate Harbour, who voiced several other characters on the show.[86] This cover radically changed the lyrics to fit the theme of the show, making numerous references to construction, repairs and roadway maintenance, as well as the show’s characters. The female names from Bega’s version are also replaced with types of construction supplies and building tasks, e.g., timber, saw, waterproofing and tiling.

Chart performance[edit]

On 9 September 2001, the song debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart,[87] becoming Bob the Builder’s second number-one single on the listing after «Can We Fix It?».[87] In doing so, Bob became the first novelty act to top the UK chart with more than one single.[88] Following the 11 September attacks, the song was removed from the BBC Radio 2 playlist, with the station’s executive music producer Colin Martin describing the song as being «too frivolous in light of the news that was breaking».[89] The song earned a gold certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) on 12 October 2001 for shipping over 400,000 units.[90] At the end of 2001, it was ranked as the UK’s 17th-best-selling single.[91]

In Ireland, the song first appeared on the Irish Singles Chart at number 13 on 13 September and peaked at number four the following week.[92][93] It remained in the top 50 for 10 weeks in total.[94] At the end of the year, the song came in at number 42 on Ireland’s year-end chart.[95] «Mambo No. 5» debuted at number three on the Australian Singles Chart on 4 November 2001 and reached number two on 18 November.[96] After staying at the position for another week, the song descended the chart, spending nine more weeks in the top 50.[96] It was Australia’s 26th-most-successful hit of the year and shipped over 70,000 copies, allowing it to receive a platinum certification from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).[97][98]

Release history[edit]

Ome Henk parody[edit]

In 1999, Dutch TV character Ome Henk took a parody of the song called «Mambo Nr 6» to number 17 on the Dutch Top 40.[104] The lyrics referred to the medicine prescribed to him, which causes hallucinations of the girls he mentions in the song. A parody of commercials for the fictional product is also heard.

Legacy[edit]

  • The original recording by Pérez Prado was inducted into the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001.[105]
  • This song was initially selected as the theme song of the 2000 Democratic National Convention, but this plan was scrapped due to the possibility of people associating the song with Monica Lewinsky, who had a central role in the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal, with the chorus, «A little bit of Monica in my life».[106][107]
  • The Lou Bega version has become associated with the England cricket team and Test cricket after it was used by UK broadcaster Channel 4 as the theme for their live coverage of England Test matches between 1999 and 2005; the music also accompanied the return of cricket to the channel during the 2021 India–England series.[108] Having been particularly famous during the 2005 Ashes series won by England, the song is still played today by the England cricket fans, the ‘Barmy Army’.[when?][citation needed]

Mambo No. 5

Мамбо № 5

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 ’cause talk is cheap.
I like Angela, Pamela, Sandra and Rita.
And as I continue, you know they’re getting sweeter.
So what can I do? I really beg you my Lord.
To me flirting is just like a sport.
Anything fly, it’s all good let me dump it.
Please set it in the trumpet.

A little bit of Monica in my life,
A little bit of Erica by my side.
A little bit of Rita’s all I need,
A little bit of Tina’s all 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 hands on the ground.
Take one step left and one step right.
One to the front and one to the side.
Clap your hands once and clap your hands twice
And if it look like this then you’re doing it right.

A little bit of Monica in my life,
A little bit of Erica by my side.
A little bit of Rita’s all I need,
A little bit of Tina’s all 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, ha, ha, ha.

A little bit of Monica in my life,
A little bit of Erica by my side.
A little bit of Rita’s all I need,
A little bit of Tina’s all 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.

Леди и Джентельмены, это — Мамбо номер пять

Один, два, три, четыре пять,
Все уселись в машине, так что поехали
За вином к магазинчику за углом.
Парни болтают о том, что хотят джина и сока,
Но, если честно, у меня нет желания
Напиваться так же, как на той неделе. Я должен доказать
Свою серьёзность, ведь слова ничего не стоят.
Я люблю и Анджелу, и Памелу, и Сандру и конечно же Риту.
И чем дальше, тем эти девчонки милее.
И что же я могу сделать? Я очень прошу тебя, мой Господь.
Флирт для меня всё равно что спорт.
Все лучшее — позволь мне подцепить.
Пожалуйста, на трубе, подключайтесь!

Чуть-чуть Моники в моей жизни,
Немного Эрики рядом со мной,
Чуть-чуть Риты — это всё, что мне нужно,
Немного Тины — это всё, что я вижу,
Чуть-чуть Сандры в лучах солнца,
Немного Мэри целую ночь,
И чуть-чуть Джессики, а тут уже и я!
Немного каждой из вас превращает меня в вашего мужчину!

Мамбо номер пять!

Прыгай, прыгай же, не останавливаясь.
Тряси головой под этот ритм, тяни руки вниз к полу
Шаг влево, шаг вправо,
А теперь вперёд и в сторону
Хлопай в ладоши раз и два,
И если ты делаешь так — то ты делаешь всё верно!

Чуть-чуть Моники в моей жизни,
Немного Эрики рядом со мной,
Чуть-чуть Риты — это всё, что мне нужно,
Немного Тины — это всё, что я вижу,
Чуть-чуть Сандры в лучах солнца,
Немного Мэри целую ночь,
И чуть-чуть Джессики, а тут уже и я!
Немного каждой из вас превращает меня в вашего мужчину!

Труба, труба!
Мамбо номер пять, ха ха ха!

Чуть-чуть Моники в моей жизни,
Немного Эрики рядом со мной,
Чуть-чуть Риты — это всё, что мне нужно,
Немного Тины — это всё, что я вижу,
Чуть-чуть Сандры в лучах солнца,
Немного Мэри целую ночь,
И чуть-чуть Джессики, а тут уже и я!
Немного каждой из вас превращает меня в вашего мужчину!

Я делаю всё, чтобы полюбить такую, как ты,
Ты ведь не в силах ни убежать, ни спрятаться
Вместе мы сможем достать до небес.

Мамбо номер пять!

Леди и джентльмены, это Мамбо номер пять.

Один, два, три, четыре, пять, все в машине, так вперёд, поехали…
К винному магазину за углом.
Парни говорят, что хотят немного джина и сока, но я не особо хочу
Напиваться, как на той неделе.
Я должен доказать свою серьёзность, потому что слова стоят дёшево.
Мне нравится Ангела, Памела, Сандра и Рита,
И чем дальше, тем они милее.
Ну что я могу сделать? Я правда молю тебя, Бог,
Для меня флирт – как спорт.
Всё, что проходит мимо – отлично, дайте мне подцепить их.
Протрубите это!

Немного Моники в моей жизни,
Немного Эрики рядом,
Немного Риты – всё, что мне нужно,
Немного Тины – всё, что я вижу,
Немного Сандры под солнцем,
Немного Мэри всю ночь,
Немного Джессики, а вот и я,
Немного вас делает меня вашим мужчиной!
Мамбо номер пять!

Прыгай, прыгай, двигайся без перерыва,
Кивай в ритм музыки, клади руки на пол,
Шаг налево – шаг направо,
Вперёд и в сторону,
Хлопай руками раз и два,
Если это примерно так, тогда ты делаешь всё правильно!

Немного Моники в моей жизни,
Немного Эрики рядом,
Немного Риты – всё, что мне нужно,
Немного Тины – всё, что я вижу,
Немного Сандры под солнцем,
Немного Мэри всю ночь,
Немного Джессики, а вот и я,
Немного вас делает меня вашим мужчиной!

Труба, труба,
Мамбо номер пять, ха, ха, ха!

Немного Моники в моей жизни,
Немного Эрики рядом,
Немного Риты – всё, что мне нужно,
Немного Тины – всё, что я вижу,
Немного Сандры под солнцем,
Немного Мэри всю ночь,
Немного Джессики, а вот и я,
Немного вас делает меня вашим мужчиной!

Я делаю всё, чтобы влюбиться в такую, как ты,
Ведь ты не убежишь и не скроешься,
Мы с тобой дотянемся до неба!
Мамбо номер пять!
