Laughs this is going to sound REALLY weird. But my sister used to dance with my Mom to this song . So instead of a somber song we played this at her funeral.. We all smiled and got a laugh . It was a good way to send her off ..instead of sad. LOL and yes. we were like ..omg that is so racey afterwords but we just laughed. Makes me smile every time i hear that now lol
You crack me up Billy. I love watching you realize what our childhood hits are really about. I can't rag on you though cause I know my mind was blown when I first realized. Thanks for your reactions.
I love it when reactors say they're familiar with a song but then realise that they don't actually know what it's about when they experience the lyrics and video together... it's hilarious! 🤣
She let you sing it cause she knew that you wouldn't have a clue what it meant or was about. Just like my parents did! But that makes it all the more fun to go back and re-visit songs from your childhood - a lot of them got meaning that we didn't understand as kids!
I was in college when this came out, so yes, knew what it was about. I had a girl friend who said she didn’t like it on principle, but she still danced to it. 😁
I did NOT feel that was about the song “Doin’ the Butt”. It said “Lisa’s got a big ole butt”. Back in my high school days you didn’t want a big booty! 😂😂😂
I remember being 10 years old when this song came out and my mom was always so impressed with me singing the chorus on point every time it came on the radio! I still know it and more to this day and I've never looked at the lyrics until now. This is definitely a classic! 😊😊😊
I had to laugh out loud when you figured out what it was about. Reminds me of when my 31 year old daughter figured out all the innuendoes in the movie French Kiss. She was like “why did you let me watch that!!”
@bys(s) Billy you so shocked, this may be my new favorite reaction from you! I won't bring up which one is, but this one may nudge it over!! 😁😁😁😇💜 (Before song starts 'this was my joint!' Three minutes later: Moms and I about to have a conversation concerning her parental choices!' LoL! I needed this laugh!! Thank you again!!😇😇😇
You would be surprised that a lot of songs that we sang as kids that we think are harmless, is actually a whole lot darker than we realize. It just doesn't hit us until we watch the music video and see whats really going on during the lyrics haha. I think our parents just let us sing it as kids because they know we have no idea what it's about and to us it's just a song lmao
hahahaha loved this reaction cause Im related aswell, this song was my childhood playing on a cd at the school and didnt even know what he was talking about 🤪😂😂😂
Bro one of My favorite things about your videos is that moment when you realize all the song we been singing as children was all dirty af 🤣 cus I’ve had that click moment be4 on a lot of these songs an it’s always funny as hell! it’s like we can see it in your eyes as its Registering on you what they really are about 🤣
At 3:25, you gave me a glimpse of my future when my girls are grown enough to understand the meaning of some of the music I have introduced them to 😄🤩😄
You know...I guess I was just a pretty aware kid because everytime I see something from my childhood that others just now realize was "spicy" I'm like...uhhh yeah? How did you not know, I've always known lol
It didn't help that Lou Bega did the kid friendly version of this song (aka the Disney Mambo #5), so I grew up listening to a fun version and then grew up and heard the real one haha. ua-cam.com/video/_0WYGrvu1So/v-deo.html
Not so fun fact: The backing music and title of this song were taken from Mambo No.5 by Dámaso Pérez Prado from 1949/1950, there was a lawsuit and everything. More Fun Fact: There is a Bob the Builder cover of this version 🤣
your reaction was so cute, the no 5 was the five continents that he met all the girls, in an interview he said he never slept alone...lol make of that what you will xx keep up the reactions
I'm a bit older than you (I'm 44) so when I was a kid Madonna was a newer artist and my childhood best friend and I would sing Madonna's "Like a Virgin" a lot. We didn't know exactly what it meant, it was just a catchy song to us.
You are so funny! I think every generation has those songs. When I was a little kid it was Donna Summers bad Girl was one of my absolute favorite songs. I remember going skating at the skating rink in elementary school singing that song. And of course it's about prostitutes. LOL and then could we talk about the song relax by Frankie goes to Hollywood or what's another one, she bop by Cyndi lauper. Once I was an adult going what was I doing singing those songs as a kid. Welcome to the world of hidden innuendos in music
Originally done in 1952 by Cuban Mexican bandleader Perez Prado he dated a lot of pretty ladies his favorite was Sandra she was the one in the sun 8 of the girls names end in A peace out.
Well, parents these days letting their kids sing WAP, so this actually seems pretty tame by comparison. With that line "you can't run and you can't hide" this song about to be canceled!
Do we know what the song is about? Yes, but you shouldn't take such a narrow view here. He's just the lovable and charming womaniser here, he's friends with the women, they like hanging out with him and the girls, like him, enjoy their time together. I think that's the charming side of Germany that shines through. And yes, Lou Bega is from Germany and I even saw his first performance of this song on TV back then. 🥰🫰
I remember Cherry Pie by Warrant fondly and this is just like that! lol yep it's little spicy. Except Cherry Pie was more fun, awe, Billy seems genuinely distraught here. It's gonna be alright. It's still a great song, after you get over your shock you might dance to this again and enjoy it. I might just go and rewatch Cherry Pie 🍒 🥧 😃😊
Billy: did y’all know this song was about this, this whole time?
Literally everyone: YES!!!
I was like you. I didn't know until high school
I knew in middle school. I listened to this song a lot in elementary school.
I knew this in elementary, my older brother explained it to me. I also found out that this is a cover version at the same time.
I basically knew what it was about cuz I was the type of kid that watched all the American Pie movies before even going to middle school
Laughs this is going to sound REALLY weird. But my sister used to dance with my Mom to this song . So instead of a somber song we played this at her funeral.. We all smiled and got a laugh . It was a good way to send her off ..instead of sad. LOL and yes. we were like ..omg that is so racey afterwords but we just laughed. Makes me smile every time i hear that now lol
My late mom loved this song too... my poor, innocent mom.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:26- A little piece of Billy’s childhood getting ruined, yet again.
i have never laughed so hard in my life
@@svn0one195 same
Yet its so darn funny. xD
🤣🤣🤣
I can't believe Lou Bega was 24 years old in that video hahah I thought he was a grown ass man 🤣
I know I shouldn’t laugh at your reaction to finding out what this song is about but...I can’t help it. It’s kinda cute.😂😉😂
I had the same reaction. I only heard it a few times on the radio after seeing Stuart little XD
I was born in 1976, so I was old enough to know this was a playa song when it came out
You crack me up Billy. I love watching you realize what our childhood hits are really about. I can't rag on you though cause I know my mind was blown when I first realized. Thanks for your reactions.
Once I got older I understood why my mother smacked me in the back of the head singing this as a kid
😅 I can’t relate I grew up to my mom listening to ‘Love Shack’ ‘Hot Pants Explosion’ by B52s 🤣
Funny thing: My aunt is Sandra, I'm Mary and my niece is Jessica
XD
My ex-wifes name is Sandra and she had such a crush on Lou Bega when she was 14 because Sandra was mentioned.
Don't know if you're aware of this, but Lou Bega is actually a German guy, born in Munich with an ugandan Vater and italian Mother.
I love it when reactors say they're familiar with a song but then realise that they don't actually know what it's about when they experience the lyrics and video together... it's hilarious! 🤣
This was a banger back in the day
It sure was!
She let you sing it cause she knew that you wouldn't have a clue what it meant or was about. Just like my parents did! But that makes it all the more fun to go back and re-visit songs from your childhood - a lot of them got meaning that we didn't understand as kids!
My dad used to call this the Bill Clinton song 🤣
Billy's bringing out all the bops. I loved that I didn't know what any of these songs were about when I was younger, they were just catchy tunes lol
I was in college when this came out, so yes, knew what it was about. I had a girl friend who said she didn’t like it on principle, but she still danced to it. 😁
You should look for the Radio Disney version that features all the female characters. It's epic lol
The radio Disney version is what I remember not this
A german musician! Back when it came out, it was a big summer hit!
lol I was an adult at the time, lol I knew 😅
2:23 we in germany sung the ballad of chasey lane without bleeps as kids ;)
This song came on around my childhood time during elementary school yrs
BEST REACTION OF 2021!! 😂🤣
I remember being so excited that my name was one of the names in the song, haha used to dance to and sing it all the time.
we were clueless
I did NOT feel that was about the song “Doin’ the Butt”. It said “Lisa’s got a big ole butt”. Back in my high school days you didn’t want a big booty! 😂😂😂
I feel Billy though cause we had No business singing this song as children 🤣😂😩
watching it click for you, is hilarious
Don’t worry, Billy. I had the same feelings when I found out what this song was about.
I feel dirty for singing it 😂
I remember being 10 years old when this song came out and my mom was always so impressed with me singing the chorus on point every time it came on the radio! I still know it and more to this day and I've never looked at the lyrics until now. This is definitely a classic! 😊😊😊
Billy your looking pretty jacked😁
Omg, your reaction made me laugh so hard 🤣 I actually had a dance performance to this song as a child. We didn't know... 🤣
Wait `til he sits back and "really" listens to, "Afternoon Delight", LoL!!
Hey Billy; Can you interpret Britney Spears song, "If U Seek Amy" ..?
Billy, you crack me up so much!!! Your reactions are everything! 🤣🤣🤣
They also have this song for Stuart Little. Funny how this was played on radio disney
Billy please react to Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya, Pink - Lady Marmalade
yes please. I can't wait to see his reaction to THAT one. lol
Especially whenever he figures out what the French means in the song.
Yes I agree
billy a muchaha is what he has a lot of if this song is accurate. see also: child support lmao
you always make me laugh, thank you
Love your reactions
Ricky Martin - Livin' La Vida Loca Please Billy!
Yes we knew
My head spun around 33 times when I found out that Lou Bega is German. I always thought of him as, like, the definition of Miami. But, no.
I had to laugh out loud when you figured out what it was about. Reminds me of when my 31 year old daughter figured out all the innuendoes in the movie French Kiss. She was like “why did you let me watch that!!”
I love this song. And Billy is right about muchachas. It means girls in Spanish.
Billy you crack me up 😂
@bys(s) Billy you so shocked, this may be my new favorite reaction from you!
I won't bring up which one is, but this one may nudge it over!! 😁😁😁😇💜
(Before song starts 'this was my joint!'
Three minutes later: Moms and I about to have a conversation concerning her parental choices!' LoL!
I needed this laugh!!
Thank you again!!😇😇😇
Please react to Alanis Morrisette - You Oughta Know, Ironic, Thank you
Love your reactions ❤
The horizontal mambo is another name for it. 🤣🤣🤣
You would be surprised that a lot of songs that we sang as kids that we think are harmless, is actually a whole lot darker than we realize. It just doesn't hit us until we watch the music video and see whats really going on during the lyrics haha. I think our parents just let us sing it as kids because they know we have no idea what it's about and to us it's just a song lmao
My Tball teammate when I was 6 years old used to go around singing I'm in love with a stripper 😂😂😂.
hahahaha loved this reaction cause Im related aswell, this song was my childhood playing on a cd at the school and didnt even know what he was talking about 🤪😂😂😂
This song is so much fun.
Ya mama probably didn’t say anything because if she’d told you not to listen to it, you’d want to know why and then she’d have to explain.
Lou Bega is an Oldschool Blues. B-)
Yes, dear, we ALL knew what it was about! And it was/is great! (Your mama was/is a sport!)
Sandra in the sun! Right here! I'm Sandra!
Or....making your childhood epic one song at a time.
As a kid I was salty that my name was not in that song. 😆
You should do the Disney version for a comparison! It was on the Goofy movie vhs.
yes please, the Disney version was the first version I listened before I listened to the original
I suggested this too not realizing it was already in the comments lol It was on Radio Disney ALL THE TIME
@@melanieannplans2666 yep, the first time I heard this song was on Disney at tv
Yes!
Now you know how I felt when I found out what Def Leppard’s Pour Some Sugar on Me was all about :)
My name is Mary and my sister is Monaca and I realized real early what this song was about, but boys kept singing it like it was a fun story.
I loved Disney Mambo #5 as well. A little bit of Minnie in my life...
If it makes you feel better my 8 year old kid has zero clue what Whip It by Lunchmoney Lewis is about and she will jam to that song all day 😂😂
I am just through old songs I like way back and the look of disappointment on your face so funny man also what was your mother thinking lol :P
'99 hit, I was 15 and yes, I knew what he meant. It was still a song worth jamming for, LOL
We had some interesting songs in the '90s, hahaha
Bro one of My favorite things about your videos is that moment when you realize all the song we been singing as children was all dirty af 🤣 cus I’ve had that click moment be4 on a lot of these songs an it’s always funny as hell! it’s like we can see it in your eyes as its Registering on you what they really are about 🤣
I was just happy to hear my name in a song haha
This song came out when I was in highschool. So...yeah. I knew what it was about. 😉
😂😂😂😂😂 Priceless
Y'all know he recorded a Disney version of this for a Disney album? XD
There's also a bob the builder version to
At 3:25, you gave me a glimpse of my future when my girls are grown enough to understand the meaning of some of the music I have introduced them to
😄🤩😄
dude, this was a big hit back then, i think it was his only hit, muchacha means young woman in spanish
You know...I guess I was just a pretty aware kid because everytime I see something from my childhood that others just now realize was "spicy" I'm like...uhhh yeah? How did you not know, I've always known lol

I loved the beat and it's about the only song with my name in it. Yes I knew about it 😆
This ain't no Cha-Cha Slide, it's a Cho-Cha Slide.
your reaction was so cute, the no 5 was the five continents that he met all the girls, in an interview he said he never slept alone...lol make of that what you will xx keep up the reactions
He is actually saying he is a drunk ,hear the begging, diferent drinks (rita margarita 🍹)and they are getting sweeter
Love the way you blush!!! You are toooooo sweet!!
I'm a bit older than you (I'm 44) so when I was a kid Madonna was a newer artist and my childhood best friend and I would sing Madonna's "Like a Virgin" a lot. We didn't know exactly what it meant, it was just a catchy song to us.

Heard this all the time, but never saw the video.
Great dance number
I had a toy from McDonald's that would play this song jfdsjkf
As a lifelong 🤴 fan honey you’ll be all right
Guess what the Trumpet is. He sends it in. Yowza.
Lmao I requested it just so Jessica smith could hear her name lol
Song came out when all the Ska music was real popular
Born in 78 so I knew what it was about. To be fair, he didnt market it to kids. Disney did that.
I mean it's kind of self-explanatory😂😂😂
Next on the Lou Bega List: _I Got A Girl_
i like Portland Oregon Z100 version in the 90's who know thid one: Bill Clinton-Bimbo Number 5
Here’s the brilliance.....adults knew....kids didn’t....today, it’s just all out in the open and raunchy!
LISTEN TO "FOLLOW ME" BY UNCLE KRACKER I sang it all the time as a child in preschool and found out as an adult what it's really about
Yes, fav song
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Well, parents these days letting their kids sing WAP, so this actually seems pretty tame by comparison. With that line "you can't run and you can't hide" this song about to be canceled!
Sir you do realize this was a cover song
By prez pardo from the 1960s
The hilarious part.......someone rewrote this earlier this year to match the Jason Collier story XD
There was even a parody of this song called Bimbo Number 5 that was supposed to be about Bill Clinton. 😂 🤷♀️
Do we know what the song is about?
Yes, but you shouldn't take such a narrow view here. He's just the lovable and charming womaniser here, he's friends with the women, they like hanging out with him and the girls, like him, enjoy their time together.

Billy, I was also “today” (47) years old. Had no clue 😳
