"Disney Mambo No. 5" is a mambo and jive dance song originally recorded and composed by Cuban musician Pérez Prado in 1949.
History[]
The song's popularity was renewed by Lou Bega's sampling of the original, released under the same name on Bega's 1999 debut album A Little Bit of Mambo. The music video, which features Bega performing in front of clips from Mickey Mouse Works, was attached to theatrical showings of The Tigger Movie on February 11, 2000.[1] It can also be seen as a bonus feature on the VHS and DVD releases of Fun and Fancy Free and A Goofy Movie.
Radio Disney[]
A version of "Mambo No. 5" was aired on Radio Disney, in which the ladies' names were replaced with classic Disney characters' names such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, Donald Duck, Pluto, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and Goofy. Additionally, all references to alcohol were removed; references to a "liquor store" and "gin and juice" were replaced with "candy store" and "ice cream" respectively. "Flirting" was replaced by "dancing," and the "beer bust" referred to was changed to a dance party.
The song was later released on the album Radio Disney Jams, Vol. 2.
Lyrics[]
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mambo No. 5!
One, two, three, four, five
Everybody in the car, so come on, let's ride
To the liquor store around the corner
The boys say they want some gin and juice
But I really don't wanna
Beer bust like I had last week
I must stay deep because talk is cheap
I like Angela, Pamela, Sandra and Rita
And as I continue you know they getting sweeter
So what can I do? I really beg you, my Lord
To me, flirting it's just like a sport
Anything fly, It's all good
Let me dump it, please set in the trumpet
A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita all I need
A little bit of Tina what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica, here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man (Ahhhh!!!)
Mambo No. 5!
Jump up and down and move it all around
Shake your head to the sound
Put your hand on the ground
Take one step left and one step right
One to the front and one to the side
Clap your hand once and clap your hands twice
And if it looks like this then you doing it right
A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita all I need
A little bit of Tina what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica, here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man (Ahhhh!!!)
Ahhhh!!!
Trumpet, the trumpet!
Mambo No. 5!
Ha-ha-ha!
A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita all I need
A little bit of Tina what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica, here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man
I do all to fall in love with a girl like you
'Cause you can't run and you can't hide
You and me gonna touch the sky
Mambo No. 5!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mambo No. 5!
One, two, three, four, five
Everybody in the car so come on let's ride
To the candy-store around the corner
The boys say they want some ice-cream
But I really don't wanna
Let's dance till we all fall down
We'll really party hearty to the mambo sound
I like Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Daisy
And as I continue, the gang is goin' crazy
So what can I do, I really beg you my lord
To me dancing is just like a sport
Anything fly it's all good let me dump it
Please send in the trumpet
A little bit of Minnie in my life
A little bit of Mickey by her side
A little bit of Donald all I need
A little bit of Daisy what I see
A little bit of Pluto in the sun
Huey, Dewey, Louie can't go wrong
A little bit of Goofy everyone!
A little bit of him makes life so fun (Ahhhh!!!)
Mambo No. 5!
Jump up and down and move it all around
Shake your head to the sound
Put your hands on the ground
Take one step left and one step right
One to the front and one to the side
Clap your hands once and clap your hands twice
And if it looks like this then you doin' it right
A little bit of Minnie in my life
A little bit of Mickey by her side
A little bit of Donald all I need
A little bit of Daisy what I see
A little bit of Pluto in the sun
Huey, Dewey, Louie can't go wrong
A little bit of Goofy everyone!
A little bit of him makes life so fun (Ahhhh!!!)
Ahhhh!!!
Trumpet, the trumpet!
Mambo No. 5!
Ha-ha-ha!
A little bit of Minnie in my life
A little bit of Mickey by her side
A little bit of Donald all I need
A little bit of Daisy what I see
A little bit of Pluto in the sun
Huey, Dewey, Louie can't go wrong
A little bit of Goofy everyone!
A little bit of him makes life so fun
I do all to fall in love with a girl like you
Coz you can't run, you can't hide, you and me gonna touch the sky
Mambo No. 5!
