    Damn, those horns are on fire! I don’t know why modern music evolved away from live horns, they are so powerful and expressive 📯

    It’s entirely possible that he had all one through 8 but just didn’t record them all as he apparently did a lot of live performances and could have only played 1,2,3 etc then

      They were too hot and instantly incinerated any medium that they used to capture it.

    God, America really did Monica Lewinsky dirty with how she was treated in popular culture for decades afterwards.

    If I remember correctly, the names used in Mambo #5 were all the names of women Bill Clinton had affairs with.

    Allegedly. Air quotes. Wink, wink.

      This is the only reference I can find to said connection anywhere, so I’d put this squarely in the rumor category.

      Tuning out Monica

      Lyrics turned out to be a problem in choosing the convention theme song. Convention producers had selected Lou Bega’s “Mambo No. 5” because it was up-tempo and popular, like “The Macarena,” the Democrats’ convention theme in 1996.

      But the chorus of “Mambo No. 5” refers to a girl named Monica.

      Convention planners initially thought they could just rewrite the lyric, but late on the eve of the convention, they re-thought the whole idea.

      “That’s out now,” said Wheeler, whose orchestra rehearsed the song. “That will not be played at all.”

      Convention producers are now looking for another song - one just as catchy, but without a catch - that will rally the party faithful, inspire the crowd and get the campaign off on the right note.
