Mambo Combo






---
It seems Lou Bega is another one who got the message about not changing a working formula: his I got a Girl song is a virtual copy of Mambo no. 5, even down to the theme of the lyrics.
It's interesting that so many of the world's best songs were made by people who never before or after got even close to making anything as good. I wonder why.

I really like Lou Bega. Kind smiling face, pleasant singing, kool moovz...

He sings King Louie's song ("I wanna be like you") in the (very nice) dance mat videogame from Disney's Jungle Book.
That song is NOT Mambo no. 5, but it's very catchy too. :-)
