Learn how to use the "skip button".  ...problem solved!  ...and spare us from your vile, racist drivel!!!  
I remembered Kerouac writing about listening to mambo down in Mexico, and indeed it was Pérez Prado.
This kinda mix is why I  stay with RP

Hang on a moment here. Andres is a Spanish name. His profile says he's from Argentina.
I suspect his comment was subtle (perhaps too subtle) ironic humour....
mambo. samba. tango. bossa nova.

when will it all end...for crying out loud.

TOTALLY COOL!!  Thanx RP!   
And all I can hear in my head is: A little bit of Monica in my life. A little bit of Erica by my side. A little bit of Rita's what I see. A little bit of Tina's what I need. 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.
At the risk of being called "racist" this music never moved me. I never understood the allure of  Buena Vista Social Club, but hearing music out of your comfort zone is part of Radio Paradise brilliance. You can always skip ahead, at least you know what you don't like now.

Quit with the name calling. 
It is not welcome here.  
Save it for Twitter.

Just cranked up the Audioengines......that's more like it.
At the opening I thought it was I Dream of Jeannie.

Maybe just leave the sabres out of it. Your coworkers would probably be cool with it then.

Not so much fun now.

 
You're right, it used to be quadraphonic sound from a record, now it's all about macrophages.
Perez Prado is so cool.

Only in his head. Next to the dancing tigers and Martin Van Buren.

This is music!

Um - mariachi is Mexican music. Mambo is Cuban. This is MAMBO.

Just wanted to clarify. 

Dámaso Pérez Prado ... ahhh .... ughh! {#Sunny}

Dancing to Mambo


I'm dreaming of Genie...
A beer!!! I want a beer!
The trumpet
The trumpet

Now let me get Rita and let's mambo
When this started I immediately heard the theme song from "I Dream of Genie"  I hope I can shake that...

How festive. Makes me want to go salsa dancing after work or at least to happy hour.
O M G ! ! How much FUN is this SONG! ! {#Dancingbanana}
The cowbell is making me nuts (but making me laugh at the same time).  I might need a padded cell real soon if this continues. {#Frustrated}

Hehehe! EXACTLY!
This song needs more cowbell!!!
Vastly superior to Mambo No.4, in my opinion.


A lot of cowbell today! 

THANKS BILL, GOOD TASTE, UN CUBA LIBRE POR FAVOR! {#Bananasplit}{#Drunk}

Haha. Rockin. 5 for the music and another 5 for the cover. Which adds up to 8, because most excellent describes this much better than godlike.

How can you hate this? This makes me want to get up and dance and I hate to dance. And my 12 and 14 year-old kids also concede that while they wouldn't play this with their friends around that it does kick some musical ass.

Mamba with your mambo?   

Kirsty, Nick, David, Ry, I love you all dearly. But this is the real deal!
Mango with your mambo?  

No disrespect to Senor Prado, but this set today is leaving a bit to be desired. Might be the mood I'm in, but for one of the few times the past few years, I'm tuning out for awhile.............be back soon........
haha, it's the mambo banana's set! Go go Señors y Señoritas!
Sr. Prado is truly an icon and along with that gal with all the bananas on her head .. well, awesome when seen on a black and white TV set with a 6 inch screen and rabbit ears right after the Howdy Doody Show. Cheers, Dave PS Now you know where these dancing bananas come from!
I HATE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE PLAY IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
