Listening to Lou Bega's "A Little Bit of Mambo."
It's a strange album that alternates between being pop with excess sampling and sounding like classic mambo.
"I Got a Girl" sounds like him trying to make an immediate follow-up to "Mambo No. 5" and it sounds hokey. They both start with a countdown before he starts to sing!
I wasn't expecting anything amazing beyond his signature song "Mambo No. 5," and I was right. It's just so bizarre.

by the way, the original Mambo No. 5 is better than Lou Bega's sampled pop "cover."
If you want the version Bega used, hunt down "Big Hits by Prado." Also features Mambo No. 8, featured in Office Space!
