41: The Macarena, Or - Wait, This Song’s About That??


Listen Later

The Macarena. You know it, you’ve heard it, you’ve probably danced it with your parents, your cousins, your middle school BFFs, and/or your local rabbi. But - have you ever listened closely to the lyrics?

Rob teaches Ray about the singing duo who brought this catchy tune to the world; the questionable origin of the song’s title; why Al Gore’s got the moves; and the many remixes and parodies that have kept this ear worm alive for decades.
