The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room - Mary Hylan & Marco Marinangeli

If you were alive in the 90s I'm sure you remember the Macarena. It was a dance sensation from 1996 to 1997 in every club, wedding reception and high school dance all over the world.

However, the song, written by Los del Río, was actually released in 1993 and it wasn't until the Bayside Boys remixed it and gave it English lyrics in 1996 that the Macarena became the best selling debut single of all time and the 2nd longest running #1 on the US charts. But then everyone got tired of it (the song is quite boring after all) and by the end of 1997 the song had run its course.

But that didn't stop Disney from capitalizing on the one hit wonder. When Disney Records was putting together MOUSE HOUSE: DISNEY'S DANCE MIXES in 1996, they enlisted Grammy Award winning Italian producer MARCO MARINANGELI and MARY HYLAN, whom I'm sure has done other music related stuff but not that I'm aware off, to rerecord the theme song of Disneyland's Enchanted Tiki Room in the style of the Macarena.

It's a match made it heaven and if it wasn't for the fact that the Macarena is such a boring song, it might actually be a good cover!
