OMG! That song is soooo annoying! I heard them trying to advertise their CD on MTV and they say it's a worldwide hit and everyone loves it and blah blah blah. It'll get old quick.

They try to sing "Rappers Delight." That's why the chorus of their song sounds so weird. They even said in an interview that the song is based on "Rappers Delight" by The Sugar Hill Gang and it's their own made up language.

Here are the "lyrics" to the chorus of their song:

Aserejé ja de jé de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva
majavi an de bugui an de buididipí.
Aserejé ja de jé de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva
majavi an de bugui an de buididipí.
Aserejé...

Catchy, aren't they? :D

Las Ketchup have said that it is their own made up language based on the Sugar Hill Gang's "Rappers Delight," which goes something like this, "I said a-hip a-hop a-hippy to the hip"...and so on and so forth.

What a coincidence, Swim. Recently, a Mexican newspaper published an article in which it said that Las Ketchup's smash hit "Asereje" contained hidden satanic messages. They even compared each word of the song to other words that have satanic meanings.

IMO, the guy who wrote the article doesn't even know what his talking about. This is just another example of human nature. People are afraid of the unknown and odd.

Dudette, why do you ask me such questions. I am not for or against Las Ketchup. If you think they're a joke, so be it. Tell that to their many fans in Spain. :D

We listen to Asereje often in Spanish class.....my teacher's really into learning about culture, etc

Anyway, some of my friends went to Spain this summer, and they said the song was a really big hit in clubs and such. They say everyone knew the dance, and it was just really big there.

See, they're not so bad in their native country. When I first found out about them, they were just barely getting to be known in Mexico at the start of summer 2002. During the summer, they became an instant hit in their native Spain. I knew it'd be some time before they hit the good ol' USA. Are they here yet? :cool: ;)

Move Over 'Macarena,' Pass the 'Ketchup Song'
Sunday, October 20, 2002

BY DANIEL WOOLLSTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS MADRID, Spain -- Now that the "Macarena" has become a distant memory, along comes "The Ketchup Song" -- and dance.

The Spanish pop tune with gobbledygook lyrics is topping charts around the world, and it's accompanied by arm-waving, knee-knocking gyrations.

The three sisters who do the song teamed up only a year ago and named themselves Las Ketchup as an homage to their flamenco guitarist-father, nicknamed El Tomate.

The single has sold 2.5 million copies from Austria to Australia. In Europe it's No. 1 in sales in 15 countries, says London-based Music and Media magazine. The album that features the song has sold 900,000 copies around the world, reaching gold status in much of Latin America.

Teenagers in Kosovo love it. One Danish Internet portal offers the melody for downloading as a cell phone beep. And a version in Mandarin Chinese is planned for the world's most populous nation.

Sony Music thought the sisters had potential when it signed them, but no one expected all this, marketing director Jose Mateos said.

"The music business is not an exact science," Mateos said. Indeed, the limelight is all over the Munoz sisters -- Pilar, 29; Lola, 26; and Lucia, 19 -- and their song about a fashion-conscious Gypsy named Diego who makes up his own brand of rap.

Since the song has cut the mustard with listeners in Europe and Latin America, the sisters hope the United States will relish it, too. It's already rising on the singles. This week, they are visiting Miami and New York to promote the single and the LP, called "Hijas del Tomate," or "Daughters of Tomato."

Their song, known in Spanish as "Asereje," bases its lyrics on snippets from the 1979 classic "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugar Hill Gang, but transmogrifies them with a staccato twist from Las Ketchup's native Andalusia region.

The refrain goes like this: "Asereje ja de je de jebe tude jebere sebiunouba majabi an de bugui an de buididipi."

That's not Spanish, it's gibberish.

The ditty ruled dance floors and radio waves so thoroughly this summer in Spain, it became THE song of the vacation season. Now, any self-respecting Spanish adolescent can rattle off Las Ketchup's goofy riff.

The version released in the United States and most other non-Spanish speaking countries is called "The Ketchup Song (Hey Hah)." The refrain's the same but the intelligible part of the song -- it actually has one -- switches to Spanglish.

The song's wildfire spread is reminiscent of the "Macarena," the 1996 song and dance by the Spanish duo Los del Rio.

"Indeed, the similarities are there," said Music and Media's charts editor Raul Cairo.

Sony's Mateos said the seed of Las Ketchup's popularity may lie in summer vacation, when millions of tourists flock to Spain's beaches and nightclubs and load up on whatever music is hot. Earlier this month, the Munoz sisters sang their song on one of Germany's most popular TV shows -- 13 million people tuned in -- and watched as David Bowie, Cindy Crawford and other glitterati did the dance.

Flash in the pan?

Well, can you name Los del Rio's follow-up to "Macarena"?

There Heeerre...
