I'm gonna share five, just five songs of the genre that I dare to lest I be tempted to smash my own head against a wall to shut out the addictive tunes and dance moves. Yes, I kid you not, if you are Generation Z and doesn't know what I'm talking about, tread carefully! These are NOT Justin Bieber stuff *shivers*.
First, lo and behold... the Macarena!! It's fairly innocent compared to what's coming, so watch, and try not to move.
Not bad for a warm up.
Next, Trouble, by Shampoo! I was tricked... TRICKED into buying their album with a "This is Alternative!" sticker on the cassette cover. Back then Alternative was the cool thing especially after a certain grunge dude shot himself dead in the head. Well, here goes.
I was like, 15, back then, when I said bursting bubble, I meant bursting bubble. Nowadays when I said bursting bubble I... Never mind.
Ok, on to, Asereje, by the Las Ketchup. I must confess, at the expense of my street rep, I used to know the choreography of this dance *blush*. The original version was in Spanish.
Now tell me you don't even feel the slightest urge to just asereje ja deje away to that tune. I never for the life of me get what they were saying though.
Next, Barbie Girl, by Aqua! (seriously, BARBIE GIRL?? By AQUA?? What was wrong with me? *facepalm*)
"You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere"... yes, you can, baby.
Lastly... my all time, personal favorite. I must caution you. The video is highly suggestive and absolutely NOT appropriate for your 7-year old. If your children are pestering around you, singing along to these seemingly innocent songs, shoo them away like, now! If you think you can't handle it, do not, and I repeat DO NOT click on the link! (yup, you can't stop yourselves now right? *evil laugh*). But if you do watch it, do watch to the end. I promise you it will be kinda... disturbing... I give to you Gunther & the Sunshine Girls, the Ding Dong Song! (that's right... the DING DONG song! I need help. Seriously)
Now keep your hands off your tra la la.
