Macarena
“Macarena” may be the queen of a type of music in which the lyrics are overlooked because the instrumentals are so enjoyable. Listeners who didn’t speak Spanish had another reason to sway their hips happily as the duo sung about a young woman who cheats on her boyfriend with two of his pals while he’s joining in the Army. Macarena, you’re not doing so well!
