Oh, Lou Bega!
You were so charming and catchy when you released Mambo No. 5. It was so thrilling to finally have a song involving Mardi Gras that could a) be sung in front of small children without getting you arrested, and b) be understood without the aid of a lyrics search on Google.
I realize that you're one-hit wonder. You'll undoubtedly appear on the next five versions of the VH1 show dedicated to such musicians. I realize that a lot of what you had going for you rested in the hat that you wore at a jaunty angle and the sexy bite to your voice. I realize that your success had more to do with whomever wrote the song, and very little to do with who actually sang it.
But Lou, baby--did you really have to stoop to doing the Applebees commercial to pay off the enormous debts that I'm sure you racked up during your moment in the sun?
