Small hit NL. Probably coincidence but how about the influence of the founding groove in Westbam's Hold Me Back? (Who's That Beat/PIAS - '89)
Covers:
Del Rio [in the Bayside Boys mix with extra English lyrics, n°1 all over (14 weeks US); multi millionseller; the laugh in the intro comes from Alison Moyet, sampled from Yazoo's Situation]
Del Mar [hit UK]
Del McCoury Band [with Doc Watson & Mac Wiseman]
In fact the whole Macarena is a clever rip-off of the Fun Boy Three & Bananarama version of Tain't What You Do It's The Way That Cha Do It (see there). Besides, La Macarena is the name of a neighborhood in Sevilla, Spain, where the original was cut.
