I guess this is one of those songs you need to be in the mood for....

Guess I'm not in the mood. <...momentary mute...>

Hi,
Thanx U  Calypsus for writting all "King of Mambo" lyrics.
I never had all the real words written about it in french, indeed... anyway  if you want to know about "la Mano Negra" Manu's before band, you can ask me..
More alternatif and political  positive way, it's finely OK for ...

PS : the last time I've eaten witch Manu and all the band, that was in Valence- Drome- 26000 - France and not in Spain !!!
C'est tout pour aujourd'hui...
Grandkrock..

While the song wasn't terribly inspiring...it did make me click the page to see if he was in fact saying "King of the bongload".
...which he wasn't, regrettably.
...right, wrong, or indifferent...that would have been more amusing at the very least.

What happened to people taking personal responsibility for the way they are feeling...

Look you create your world!  SO IF IT SUCKS TO YOU - CHANGE THE CHANNEL!

I always preface my own mindset/feelings when I say I am not happy with some song or other, but I know it's me not the music.

Someone somewhere out there will love something - I personally LOVE Manu Chau - but I lived in Europe and had many good times with it in the background.  I personally love the variety and styles of music played here and am not always in the mood for every song they play when they play it - but it's ME that's the constant not the Music because as you see around you - others Love the same song you are dissing.  So get over yourselves.
 
     1.) This isn't your personal radio station - this is Bill and Rebecca's
     2.) If you don't like most of what they play - GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
     3.) If you are super unhappy about life - see someone else, go for a walk in nature, do something to try and change it. 

Shouldn't a song that carries on about being the "King of the Bongos" include some bongo playing?

The only good thing about this track was the moment of pondering "1, or 2. Hm. 2, or 1. Hm. What the heck, I'm in a good mood, let's go with 2."

Thanks Bill. My kids love this song. We know the song from a Putamayo disc from a couple years back called "World Playground".

Just when I thought my day couldn't possibly get worse, a new form of physical pain was added to the collection by having to listen to this song at work. It always makes me feel suicidal. Thanks, Bill.

He's the King of Bongo

I'm anticipating a Manu Chao/Dengue Fever collaboration.  Wait, did I say "anticipating"?

That gets really old after the first verse. Blah. Volume control to the rescue.

Rico Suave?

All the people complaining are just jealous because they're not snappy dressers like Manu Chao.

I really dig this song. When I first heard it, I ran out and bought the CD. Does not disappoint, nor does anything else Chao does.

But not definitely not music for everyone.

This sounds like a really unflattering, stereotypical and politically incorrect parody of Latin music. Since Manu Chao did it, it gets a pass, I suppose.

Less and less of this 'music' I can take.
