Found this in Youtube's recommended videos list

First of all, calling anything 'The Ketchup Song" will immediately buy you five minutes of my time.

I did a bit of research on it, trying to find the meme, and it's more interesting than I would have thought. Take a listen to the chorus and see if you can spot it. I'll give you a hint: Mondegreen

I actually did spot it the first time I listened, but I decided I was hearing things and dismissed it.

Nice eye candy :shock:

I should maybe give a content warning? :wink:

Nice eye candy, indeed, but the meme is much funnier.

I like the girl wearing sunglasses !!!

It's a much better version that the real sanitized "Pop" one that was a hit
over here ..... I'm 99% sure it wasn't that version .

Mondegreen .... ??

Wow, what a horribly annoying song...and that hand dance makes me want to punch all three of them square in the face. :thumb:

The only thing worse than this song/video/group......is their name.

Oh, and i think the meme is ......delightful

I did my master's thesis on "Rico Suave" by Gerardo. I initially found his juxtaposition of competing subtexts to be most compelling, the modern Latino serving both the roles of the strong-willed patriarch and the innocent moppet. But what really got me exited though was when I discovered that the seemingly obvious protologism in the fourth verse turned out to be argot common to remote Asian fishing communities along the Andaman Sea.

Maybe - I can't tell now, although it was all over the radio for about a week back in 199X. I listened to it and though it was better than I'd remembered.

I think distance makes the hart grow fonder. Or maybe it's the girls in the video...

1 point to Marty..

Okay, smart-ass, just for that, you have to suffer through this:

Well, someone finally found the wikipedia entry for this song, and that explains the entire joke, or at least should explain what I found so funny: the chorus is an English to Spanish cross-language mondegreen (near-homophonic mis-heard lyric - "kiss this guy" instead of "kiss the sky") of the first line from Rapper's Delight. Listen to the chorus and see if you can hear it now.

I guess I'm alone in thinking that that's hilarious. Must be the anthropologist in me.

I LOVE IT!

I just forwarded it to a few Slovak friends. Different language, but similar enough culture for them to appreciate it.

Also, I think my mom dressed me in that suit when I was little.....

Jozin....Bazin... ricka deeka deeka dee doo....

What instrument is that guy playing before the versus on that one. Any body know what it is? Sounds like a bass kazoo(is there such an instrument?) :?

:shock:

Woh!
we had that plumbing thing when I was a babe. It was a toy that someone gave my Dad. You could connect whatever pieces together and play the plumbing. My first musical memory is playing along S&G's "The Boxer". I remember it being much bigger than the pic.
And it looks to me like the dude is humming into a brass snifter of some sort. Yes, I watched to the end copyright, which I just couldn't bear doing for the Ketchup song :green:

The only thing that could've made the Ketchup Song funnier is if the Player's favorite song had been Mr. Roboto.

just for all of that you have to watch this one.
