What is this older song I heard on Britain's Got Talent?

Asked by troubleinharlem (7991points) June 13th, 2011

So, I’m watching Britain’s Got Talent (super guilty pleasure) and there was this guy here who did this dance ensemble that I thought was interesting, if not a rip-off of the Evolutino of Dance.

Anyway, I was wondering, what is the song at 8:27? It isn’t long enough that I can use my Soundhound app, and I was wondering if you guys knew.

It sounds like a sample from The Macarena, which I think was released in 1996, at about the same time as the Olympic Summer Games.

Yes, as @Brian1946 stated ..it’s Macarena by Los Del Rio (released in 1994).

Ah, then I think it’s the Soul Bossa Nova, which apparently was composed by Quincy Jones.

The part in your video can also be heard here, starting at 0:19.
