A Little Bit of Bega in My Life

I’ve always been a fan of Lou Bega’s classic “Mambo No. 5”, but that fondness has been boosted in recent years by the fact that hearing it reminds me of arriving in the lobby of our hotel at Disney World at the outset of my family’s vacation in high school, whereupon I was greeted by a version of that song Lou had recorded about Disney characters.

So today I thought “Instead of just being reminded of that by the original song, why don’t I seek out the Disney version that enchanted me so in that hotel lobby, where the sun was shining through the vast windows at the far end?”

So I found it on iTunes, which I still use because I just like the feel of having the files on my phone. But I had to buy the whole album to get that one song despite the fact I’ll probably never listen to any of the other tracks, which also seem to be Disney-focused covers of pop songs. Bega’s might be the only one by the original artist? Anyway, it was a worthy purchase.

Bonus Question!
