what the hell is this garbage called "the ketchup song"???
 

this song is so annoying (im hearing it now for the first time), how this crap is on the radio is beyond me.

It's actually a bit older than some of the songs out now...it was really popular in Europe last year. Irritating yes, but there's even a dance to go along with it. Like the macarena, but...uh, worse.

Shakes head
argg to this song.

You mean you actually listen to the radio? lol.

What I think is funny is, per Newsweek, "...The gibberish chorus - 'majabi an de bugui an de buididipi'?? is a Spanish mangling of the oft-misheard lyrics to 'Rapper's Delight'. And, let's face it, the Sugarhill Gang's classic rap didn't make that much sense in the first place..."

There are worse songs out there, and you will only be hearing more and more of this song for the next six months or so (until it burns itself out, a la Macarena & Mambo #5, etc).

Of the above lyrics, I believe that the "bugui an de buididipi" portion of the lyrics are the mangled version of "the boogie to the boogie da beat" (from Rappers Delight).

Yea, it's pretty big in Europe and now they're trying to make it a hit on this side of the pond. I always assumed that Europeans had better musical taste than Americans, but **** like this makes me wonder...

Man, I heard about this song and the dance craze attatched with it on one the entertainment shows and I just had to shake my head. i was hoping that this is one craze that will not actually get popular over here, but I too have heard it on the radio (XM: channel top 20 on 20) I even saw the video on MTV Hits. Ok the women singing the song are attractive, but even the dance for this song is pathetic.

Yatta!

Catchy 'Ketchup' may bump 'Macarena' off dance floors

Beware: The next "Macarena" could be coming soon to a wedding reception near you.

"The Ketchup Song (Hey Ha)," already a chart-topper in Europe and Latin America, has become the rage on dance and Latin music radio stations here since its U.S. release early this month. The dance steps that go with it give the Spanish pop song the potential to match the Macarena craze of the mid-1990s.

"This is a love-hate song: People either love it or hate it," says Chris Shebel, program manager at Energy 92.7 FM, where it's a Top 10 request.

It's sung by the Munoz sisters -- Lola, 29, Lucia, 26, and Pilar, 19, who call themselves Las Ketchup, in tribute to their famous father, flamenco guitarist Tomate.

The lyrics are, intentionally, jibberish. Like the chorus, "Asereje ja de je de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva/ Majavi an de bugui an de buididpi," a take off on the 1979 hit "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugar Hill Gang.

The line dance's steps make the "Ketchup" dance a lot like the "Macarena."

In Europe, folks have been shaking it since summer, Shebel says. "I was in Prague last week and saw someone do it all the way until all her clothes were off. I don't think that's part of the dance. All I could think was: 'All right-y, then!' "

Ha, that beauty sure makes me wanna dance....... :yack:

man.... where's "The Chicken Dance" when ya really need it ?

rotfl

This song is awesome...:lol:

I'm stationed in Germany, and that is an incorrect assumption. I have never heard more crap than what I hear on the German radio stations.

eh...hmm..er...uh...

It looks like I am in the minority, but I actually like the song. Not enough to buy it, but enough that I've downloaded it.

Then again, I like Spanish rock and pop in general, so my liking this song (though I hate the name) isn't a suprise. I'd much rather listen to this song that anything by Eminem and the vast majority of rap "aritsts", who consistently puts out crap.

And no, I've not danced the dance.

Saw the vid for the first time to day, looks like something out of a Spanish holiday resort.

This song was in Otter months ago as a possible Macarena replacement.

Hey, isn't that the dance from "Grease"? "The Hand Jive", I think?

Agree with the person stationed in Germany, continental European musical tastes are extremely crappy . . . especially when non-native English speakers make songs in English. (Germans are really bad with this). Tell me a successful continental European band that made it big in the US/world . . . (and I don't mean one-hit wonders). (for the geography idiots, no, the UK and Ireland are not in continental Europe). If you know the language, there are some good modern rock/alternative artists who sing in their own tongue. For example, in Germany: Herbert Groenemeyer (modern rock), Westernhagen (modern rock), Die Aerzte (punk-rock), Die Toten Hosen (punk-rock) (however, again their English songs are amateurish and crap), Die Fantastischen Vier (the German Beastie Boys), Tocotronic (alternative) or from France,
Noir Desir (alternative)

So, where in the heck did you get the idea that European tastes in music were better? Spend some time in Europe and you just might believe that all these crappy American pop artists actually do have talent. Well maybe not, but I'm exaggerating to make a point.

Brits, however, do have better taste in music though I would have to say. Just the fact that many of my favorite artists are British and it's a relatively small country to have so much good music . . .

Germans love David Hasselhoff

I was just about to start a thread on this song, but since this one is here, I can bash the hell out of it without any extra work. The song sucks. Oh my god, it is so ****ing annoying. I feel like smashing the radio on the dj's head everytime I hear it. Why do they make this trash?

Wow, I just love this song. I can't put my finger on it, but it has a "texture" to it that just grabs me. I've never been able to quantify why I like and dislike certain songs, because I just have a mental image of it's "texture", it's "thickness", it's "movement", etc. Can't explain it, but I love this song and many others that come on the Dance station here in Chicago. The lyrics are usually pretty insipid, and the music uninspired, but sometimes there's just a synergy (I hate using that word, but it works) that kicks in. That and the "diamond song" What the hell is that called?
