Grooch | Thursday, September 26, 2002 - 11:04 am     Move over 'Macarena,' here comes 'Ketchup' By Glenn Gamboa Newsday Posted September 26 2002, 11:27 AM EDT Brace yourself. "The Ketchup Song” is coming. Also known as the "Hey-Hah Song,” the debut for the Spanish trio Las Ketchup has topped the charts in Mexico, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy and Germany. Now, America is falling -- faster than you can say "Macarena” -- for the infectious single and the catchy dance that goes with it. Already a top request at taste-making stations such as New York's WKTU and Z100 and Long Island's WBLI, "The Ketchup Song” combines breezy Brazilian pop, a "Livin' La Vida Loca” rock guitar riff and a rap chorus approximating Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight.” The accompanying line dance -- coming soon to a wedding reception near you -- is part "We Go Together” hand-jive from "Grease,” part arm-waving frenzy. "People are clamoring for this song,” said Rocco Lanzilotta, Sony Music's marketing vice president. "The marketplace is right for a nice, uplifting song.” Though "The Ketchup Song” built momentum throughout Europe all summer, the American tidal wave of interest started right after Labor Day when WKTU music director Frankie Blue played the song once. It immediately became the No. 1 request and Sony rushed to meet demand for a radio single. Las Ketchup's debut album, "Hijas del Tomate,” hits stores on Oct. 22. "After all that we've been through, with Sept. 11 and the tragedies, people just want to dance and be happy,” said Charlie Walk, Sony's vice president for radio. "The song doesn't say much or mean much, but it certainly makes people smile.” |

Sia | Thursday, September 26, 2002 - 03:25 pm     The Ketchup Song is called "The Hey-Hah Song" in foreign countries? Great, and the song could be renamed "The Hoo-Hahs Song" in the United States if Tatanya from BB3 is chosen to star in the video! |

Grooch | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 08:16 am     Maybe you need a new bottle of ketchup in your hands when you do it, and by the time you are done, you can get some out?  |
Grooch | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 07:18 pm     Where is Ketchuplover? I think his secret is out. This song must be written about him. friday night it's party time feeling ready looking fine, viene diego rumbeando, with the magic in his eyes checking every girl in sight, grooving like he does the mambo he's the man alli en la disco, playing sexy felling hotter, he's the king bailando et ritmo ragatanga, and the dj that he knows well, on the spot always around twelve, plays the mix that diego mezcla con la salsa, y la baila and he dances y la canta Chorus: aserejè ja de jè de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva, majavi an de bugui an de buididipi, aserejè ja de jè de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva, majavi an de bugui an de buididipi many think its brujeria, how he comes and disappears, every move will hypnotize you, some will call it chuleria, others say that its the real, rastafari afrogitano he's the man alli en la disco, playing sexy felling hotter, he's the king bailando et ritmo ragatanga, and the dj that he knows well, on the spot always around twelve, plays the mix that diego mezcla con la salsa, y la baila and he dances y la canta |

Teatime | Sunday, September 29, 2002 - 07:41 pm     Okay, I downloaded the Ketchup Song last night...I've got it playing right now. It's cute, in a club kid sort of way. I like the chorus but I am rushing to keep up with all that Spanish. My sister-in-law is coming to visit in a few days and I will have her translate for me. (Oh please don't let me regret asking!) My middle school girls have a dance in a couple of weeks. I'm sure I'll get plenty of exposure to the "moves" after that. Ketchuplover, you've been holding out on us, man! I had you figured for a purist, but after hearing your song I think you're a little on the salsa side! By the way, did you ever have Brooks ketchup in the glass bottle? Excellent, mildly tangy/hot flavored. Just enough to make you sit up and appreciate. An adult ketchup, if you will. Wish I could find it in my little one-horse town. MJH, I don't know what to say except OUCH my cheeks hurt! It took me 3 tries to get past the weird disease line. Hysterical!!! |
