Lou Bega: Mambo No. 5


Lou Bega: Mambo No. 5
Mambo “mother f’ing” No. 5.  Shot me, but I like this song. 
Most people aren’t aware that is hit some is a cover/remake of Perez Prado song of the same name.  Heck, Lou even looks like Prado. In the Lou Bega version, the women are rather attractive. 
Notes
-I actually like the cream-colored Zoot Suit he wears in the video.  I believe this around the time when swing bands came back into fashion.  And, the 30s-40s swing sound came back in fashion. 
Like the swing revival, Lou Bega sort of disappeared.  However, his Wiki states he has been busy.
-The dark skinned dancer looks very familiar.

I had the (mis?)fortune of working in a Classic Denny's diner in high school which had a very limited number of songs to choose on the jukebox, but Mambo No. 5 was one of the staff favorites and is still a great song to I like jamming to!

It is a catchy tune. I can envision a bunch of you all dancing in the back of the dinner to it.

It certainly a fun little tune, when you consider all the really bad techno that came out during that same era.

Back of the diner hell! We actually had to dance in front of customers as part of our job description. But we took it as our own and made it fun rather than something the "man" was forcing us to do. Plus tips were usually better afterwards :)

Nice, I've seen some restaurants with the dancing servers and workers too.

I can't dance, so I would never make it there. Plus, no one wants to see me dance either.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Madison Swan/Mia Malkova: Not so Mother's Day

I’ve written about some messed up things in my time as a blogger, but this story might just top the cake.  And, I mean really.  If you are offended by porn and the porn industry, don’t read this blog.  However, this might be one of the strangest and creepiest things I’ve seen and read about.  It just seems so wrong... A few days ago, I stumbled across an Amateur Allure (porn) video.   AA is a polished porn site that features a lot of POV shots and newcomers in the industry.   Also, there is MILF/step daughter (pretending) porn thing out there and it’s very popular.   Even AA has a few of these “fake” mother/step-daughter teams.   It is a very popular Genre in the industry.   However, this one is different.   AA had a video claiming that a fledging pornstar Madison Swan/Mia Malkova   did a Pre-Audition video with her mother tagging along…her real mother.  Mia/Madison shows up for her “audition”, which means you show ...

Sega Saturn Netlink

Sega Saturn Netlink (One of the first official online consoles) Do you remember the Sega Saturn's online functions? Before 13 year old zit-faced boys talked smack to you on the Xbox Live, there was The Sega Netlink. Part 2 and Part 3 Wiki page . While going through the great post on the Sega Saturn at Eidolon's Inn , I came across the information that there was a network link up to the Sega Saturn. It should be noted that there was an near-online option to the Sega Genesis through the Sega Channel. However, the Saturn had big plans for network gaming at the time. The technology simply wasn't there for all their plans, because the speed was 28.8 k. The Saturn never lived up to its fullest potential because of sluggish sells. I found this funny, because Sega had a better experience with the Dreamcast and its online function (Phantasy Star Online). By the time Sega had realized their online dreams, the Dreamcast was put to rest and they left the hardware bus...
