It is, if nothing else, refreshingly direct. The video starts off as a 28 Days Later parody before turning into a straight dance number, but actually, the whole thing’s kind of growing on me. Not surprisingly, the Bolivians sued.īack to the charts, and the current number one – “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO. Incidentally, according to Wikipedia, Kaoma never actually licenced the rights to the song before covering it. The arrangement used by Kaoma and Marcia Ferreira actually comes from another cover version by Cuarteto Continental (which seems to be beyond the reach of YouTube), but the 1981 original was recorded by the Bolivian folk group Los Kjarkas.

But “Lambada” is sung in Portuguese, because it’s a clone of the 1986 Brazilian single “Chorando Se Foi” by Marcia Ferreira.Īnd that, in turn, was a Portuguese-language translation “Llorando Se Fue”, a song originally written in Spanish. If you’re old enough to recognise the chorus, you probably remember it from Kaoma’s 1989 single “Lambada”, which reached number 4 in the UK. Technically, it also gives Pitbull his first number one, beating the number 4 peaks of his own “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)”, the Alexandra Burke single “All Night Long” and Enrique Iglesias’ “I Like It”. Even so, this is only her third number one – the others were “Love Don’t Cost A Thing” in 2001, and more surprisingly, “Get Right” from 2005. This is her first new song in several years, but she was a regular chart fixture from 1999 to 2007. Still, it’s clearly been a successful comeback single. Wikipedia says the reviews for this single were “generally positive”, which seems surprising, since it’s basically a one-note dirge interspersed with chunks of the Lambada. After that, for the two weeks I was out of the country, we had “On The Floor” by Jennifer Lopez featuring Pitbull. Well, Nicole Scherzinger’s first week sales didn’t hold up, so on 27 March, “Someone Like You” returned to number one for a fifth week.

When we left off, it was 20 March, and Adele’s “Someone Like You” had just been knocked off number one by Nicole Scherzinger’s “Don’t Hold Your Breath”.
