While millions of people have danced to the 'Macarena' at weddings and parties, few realize the song's lyrics are quite dark. The song tells the story of a woman named Macarena who is dating a man named Vitorino. While Vitorino is away being sworn into the army, Macarena cheats on him with two of his best friends. The 'happy' dance song is actually about infidelity and betrayal. This fact went largely unnoticed in English-speaking countries for decades because the catchy beat and simple dance steps masked the Spanish lyrics. It remains one of the most successful 'one-hit wonders' in history and a staple of 1990s nostalgia.
