Mambo No.5 (A Little Bit Of...) by Lou Bega was a UK number 1 hit on Saturday, September 4, 1999 spending 2 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. This song was originally done in 1952 by the Cuban-Mexican bandleader Perez Prado. Known as the 'King of the Mambo,' Prado recorded numerous mambos and when he ran out of inspiration, he would simply number them, and "Mambo No 5" was one of a series of 8. Perez Prado's version was instrumental and in 1999 German pop musician Lou Bega added lyrics to it, transforming it into a love song for several women. This was the theme song for the 2000 Democratic Convention (Bill Clinton's party), until someone noticed the line, "A little bit of Monica in my life."
